@Collin1000 These aren't even worth free. I bought some on Amazon hoping for some cheap earbuds for listening to podcasts at work. Not only do they sound horrible, but after a week of light use, only the left one works now.
@MrGlass these are kinda crappy, but JLabs make good ones too, the J3 and J5 are alright, you can pick them up for rather cheap. the have a harder plastic clear coting over the wires and you can see any kinks start to form and use metal instead of plastic for the buds. also sound alright for buds under $50
@MrGlass I copy/pasted the model number for this page into Amazon, so I am pretty sure it was the right model. But it is possible that people had better ones but put their review under this model. No matter, in for 4 and it sold out shortly afterwards. 3000 Meh'ers can't be wrong.
enlightened-emerald-stamp In for 3 sets. With a dog that likes to eat ear buds (he's weird) and 3 teenagers that leave them laying around we go through a lot of earbuds in this house.
Me: Do we need 2 pairs of ear buds for $3? Wife: No. Me: There are pretty pink ones and black and yel... Wife: (cutting me off) Nooooooo! Me: (sigh) OK.
@MsELizardBeth ear buds in. ties the the other end to the thigh so he doesn't lose them (though at three dollars for two, no biggie) and then hooks in. Nothing better than a heavy metal enema.
Oh look!! Twofer Tuesday that dirty temptress showing up once again. Better just buy 3 sets of two because, why the fuck not. In fact, better jump on the wife's account and get more...damn it all.
I just bought the max from both my account and my husband's. Starting Christmas shopping for next year already. Thanks, Meh! (And of course, I did get some in purple.)
What makes my purchase of these even sillier is I can't even use them because I wear hearing aids. They'll be great for everyone else in the family, though.
Ever since the kids left I don't seem to go through earphones/buds at the rate I used to. At one point I was buying them by the dozen from a wholesaler. LOL!
I have the more premium Jlab headphones and have been very happy with quality. Just make sure to burn them in, otherwise they can run very tinny. They have a burnin tool on their website.
In x 3 deals. My 8 &9 year old sons like to whirl these around and throw them like bolos to capture one another. Only 10 more years till the youngest heads off to college!
I had some different JLabs with the built in volume limiter. They also had a double seal that would try to take your eardrum with them when you removed them. Sound-wise... meh. melodious-odious-ink!
Black/silver, and blue, and pink. Nobody better say 'I thought those were mine!' No excuses for pilfering. Peace will reign. I foresee a 1 AM sellout, but I got mine. Not sure why.
It's days like today that make me really glad there is a limit. Otherwise I'm afraid to think of how many of these things I would have bought... just because.
I bought 3 sets, so each of my kids can have one and I'll have 2 sets for myself (unless my girlfriend wants one). Note: I saved the purple ones for you.
@PurplePawprints So am I. The Xmas VMP changed everything. I have avoided a few things, because of shipping, but not this time. This was too good to pass up.
By the way, I remember some thread I'll never find about order phrases having thousands of words, but I've already got two different orders that use "acoustic" (including this one) and two that used "margarita." Does this confirm that computers are incapable of true randomness?
@editorkid in a truly random set up, the computer would use the same words twice in a row from time to time. Only a non-random generator guarantees that words never repeat.
@editorkid there are over 2000 adjectives and 1000 nouns, giving over a billion combinations (or so someone way better at math than I am told me). That way an exact phrase should never repeat, but certain adjectives might be used with a different 2nd adjective and noun.
@JonThttps://lazycackle.com/Probability_of_repeated_event_online_calculator__birthday_problem_.html provides an easy way to calculate the odds of generating the same phrase twice given the number combinations, and order numbers generated. I'm guessing that the Meh coders know about the birthday paradox. So they have probably taken steps to avoid duplicate order numbers. With a billion distinct choices, you have a 50% chance of getting a duplicate after generating 37,234 order numbers.
@editorkid ya I called that early on. Meh needs a new experiment. If it sells out within a hour post a new deal. Also 6000 reviews on Amazon over the course of 8 yes 8 years. Meh sold 3000 in 30 minutes. Experiment successful. Edit-Wow I called the finale wrong. Pink went out 2nd to last.
The one time I decide to wait twenty minutes before checking Meh - "It's a two-fer-Tuesday, it's probably a shit deal" - and you guys sell out of the electric blue ones. Those look sweet.
Perfect because I go through earbuds quickly. Less perfect because the cool colors are already gone. Only pink and black left. Luckily I'm a girl so pink is OK. Bought both colors. Relieved to know my earbud cushion is back.
@Pamela I wanted black anyway so I was in luck for a change. I just knew that free VIP was going to make me buy stuff I really don't need. Always good for a gift "add on" though.
Bought one set, saw how fast they were flying off the virtual shelves and convinced myself to buy a second set. Mebbe @unixrab is right about VMP.....nah.
@Shamburglar I imagine that there is a sort-of classification system in the meh.com warehouse - Items that they got for a good price, Items that they got for a steal and finally items that will convince VMP members to pull the trigger (on the purchase, not themselves). In this last category, it will have to be inexpensive things that were originally in Category 2. If they have a large profit margin on an item and it's inexpensive enough to ship (and/or build some shipping into the price) they are virtually assured that VMP's (wanting to justify their monthly eh...'' contribution '' will assuredly click the BuyIt button. ... ... or maybe they just dump crap into a large former Heely's warehouse and throw darts to see what to offer next.
Cautiously in for two. Couple drawbacks: no remote or mic in this model Freq. response is 20Hz-20KHz, less than Apple EarPods (5Hz-21Khz) but pretty standard Impedance is 16 Ohm, lower than EarPod 23 Ohm. I'm guessing these buds will have a lot of distortion at higher volumes. I don't know if this actually means anything.
@KeyserStoze Frequency response beyond 20-20k means nothing (unless you have abnormal hearing range beyond 20k which is possible although I'm pretty sure no one can hear 5Hz). Impedance means something but definitely not sound quality.
@KeyserStoze If you're over the age of 18 you can't hear over about 18,000 anyway. If you're over 40 you can't hear over 15,000. Similar on the low end. Lower resistance = more watts. That's it. It may be more distorted, it may not depending on the driver in the earbud. I use these for running and working out. These are disposable at this price.
@Teripie Try it first with headphones, and then without headphones. Without headphones you are testing the quality of the treble of your speakers. My speakers are "Fair".
I just bought 5 pairs of cheap earbuds (for 37 bucks) from Amazon --33 minutes before these went on sale. Then I forgot to check Meh until these were already sold out. FML.
@avedum I have a pair of the orange Panasonic's. They're surprisingly good earphones. While obviously not as cheap, I'd say you're getting a better sounding bud. (Of course that didn't stop me from buying some of these...)
@TerriblyHuang Would anyone have purchased these without the lube of VMP? I think not. @sp3ar@outtamymind That's 3940 pairs of headphones that VMP made disappear.
Sheesh, went fast. Wah, woulda bought cheapo earbuds to sub for my cheapo meh headphones sometimes. Both meh headphone sets still working, btw. GF even stole a pair.
@RedOak Well, the comments on the video say its a sony ericsson cellphone speaker. A super fast eBay search shows those phones faulty (like, broken lcd screens) for $1-$2, doesn't matter if the screens broken when you just want the speaker anyway. I imagine thre shipping involved, but it still may fall within your budget.
I saw these when they first came up, thought to myself "wow, cool, and cheap! free shipping, too, I'll get a set of each color!", I clicked on the buy button (on my touchpad) and because that thing is so slow, there was enough time for my brain to think about all the earbuds I already have, still in packaging, never used.
My second thoughts helped someone else buy these earbuds. You're welcome.
@PurplePawprints These shipped the other day. I've just been informed that SmartPost is a little backed up, so tracking may not be updating as quickly.
@hart I know I'm being a pain, but did you get a chance to check on this? His order still says 'placed' and when I checked our account, my payment cleared but the authorization for his purchase expired and has not been reprocessed per normal. Should I open a support ticket at this point or wait a bit longer?
@JonT@hart Okay, this is getting a little ridiculous. haha My order came in the mail today and seems fine. Oddly enough, my husband also received a much smaller package in the mail today. In his, there were two sets of the black/chrome ear buds he ordered. No sign of the black/electric blue or boqari blue ones though. What's going on? Are the two missing sets the ones @JonT said were shipping out yesterday? His account still just shows the order as 'placed'.
@JonT@Hart So, I know things kind of exploded here in the forums over the weekend so I'm just posting again in case this got lost in it all. Any chance you can check into it again?
@PurplePawprints Hey, I'm so sorry. It has been nuts around here. I just looked at his order and it shows as delivered. Maybe you have the wrong tracking number? Edit: Oh, I just saw that you're missing some of them. Send something to meh.com/support and we'll ship the rest of the order.
I received mine yesterday, black. They stink. Literally. At least the one pair I opened has a strong, stinky, plasticky smell. Not sure of the offending component but the whole thing, cord, plug, ear buds have the odor. Probably from being in the same little bag.
My delivery estimate for these is next Wednesday, 1/14. It was the holidays, they were busy, I'm mostly patient. Usually, by the time things show up I forget I'd ordered them, so it's a fun surprise.
Got these in the other day. Wished the purple looked less pink, but I'll just gift them or throw them into the next Exchange. They're pretty good Meh earbuds and I ordered other colors in case they weren't the type of purple I like.
Two-thirds of my idiotic-sultry-shark arrived today (pink and black/chrome), and they're miraculous. Haven't tried them in operation, but since meh still hasn't charged my card for them, I'd say that's a miracle. The order still shows 'placed', and never updated to 'shipped'. Actually, my peevish-peppery-division order of Shake & Go Tumblers arrived at the same time, and it too still says 'placed'. It's a murkel as well.
@OldCatLady Hey, this is weird. I'm going to look into it. In the meantime, do me a favor and send a message to meh.com/support. That will help us figure out what happened.
Just got my set of two... they sound pretty darned good for three bucks. I wish I'd bought more so I could give them to people. If y'all want to stick some in my fuku bag, I wouldn't be disappointed. ;)
These have been surprisingly good. They don't fit as snugly as my $12-15 Sony earbuds, but the sound quality seems comparable. One pair even survived a trip through the washer and dryer and still work well. I'll buy more if they are offered again.

@mediocrebot I love purple!
Unless you got these for free, I have no idea how you're making any money on this deal. In for 2.
@Collin1000 These aren't even worth free. I bought some on Amazon hoping for some cheap earbuds for listening to podcasts at work. Not only do they sound horrible, but after a week of light use, only the left one works now.
@crapstick ... Stll, you can't go wrong for three bucks.. Mabey one will work good. I got here too late else I would have taken a chance.
@unkabob holy jesus, I can't believe these sold out that fast. Is the reset at 8:30?
@Hypnos ... Yeah, it went like the last fuku and from what I understand it only resets at midnight (est) so we got a bunch of hours to chill.
@crapstick that is a feature... to prevent you going deaf in your right ear if you play your music too loud.
You should have to pay extra for service like that.
Is that really...... purple? Where is Barney?!?
@jwertz5 I hate Purple
@jwertz5 I love purple.
@Barney I love purple too. I ordered the purple, but I have no idea why, other than purple. And VMP.
Oh my, there is the horrible wonderful horrible toy seal again!
I want to look away but am unable!
@curtise - Ferocious sea lions, I think.
@curtise It ATE MY HOMEWORK!
JLab earbuds are pretty crappy, but 2 for $3? How could I not!
@MrGlass Actually they got pretty good reviews on Amazon - in for 4
@DeuceSevin Maybe theyre a different model than the JLab ones I got last year. Those were garbage, Still, worth it to keep a spare in my bag.
@MrGlass these are kinda crappy, but JLabs make good ones too, the J3 and J5 are alright, you can pick them up for rather cheap. the have a harder plastic clear coting over the wires and you can see any kinks start to form and use metal instead of plastic for the buds. also sound alright for buds under $50
@MrGlass I copy/pasted the model number for this page into Amazon, so I am pretty sure it was the right model. But it is possible that people had better ones but put their review under this model. No matter, in for 4 and it sold out shortly afterwards. 3000 Meh'ers can't be wrong.
@DeuceSevin Oh, 3000 Mehricans can totally be wrong. How many speaker docks have been sold? :)
Ooooh, purple! For that alone, tempting.
@heartny I love purple.
Now this I can Meh to.
Black/Silver and Black/Yellow
noted-withering-maid <--- scared to even search.
@Outofmymind I love purple.
@Outofmymind "too"
enlightened-emerald-stamp
In for 3 sets. With a dog that likes to eat ear buds (he's weird) and 3 teenagers that leave them laying around we go through a lot of earbuds in this house.
@remo28 My cat used to eat my ear buds. That's when I learned that cats are into ear wax. It's a thing. Maybe it's a thing with dogs too.
I love purple.
In for 4 - can't beat the price, and my kid goes through earbuds like she goes through socks. Speaking of...can you do a sock deal soon?
Buds I won't feel bad about losing. Score! In for 3 with coarse-fixed-macaroni
Oh Christ I forgot it was 2FT and bought 3 on impulse. I need to grow more ears and fast.
@Mofongo crap, me too!
Will these work with my transistor radio?
@jjohns71 Actually, yes. But expect sound in mono. Now go ahead, ask us if your transistor radio will work with HDMI.
Another great 2-fer deal. Thank you VMP too....
I bought nice earbuds once. They were good until the dog decided they taste good. In for some cheap ones.
Purple!
@narfcake Purple!!
@narfcake I stayed away from the purple Narf, and I still scored 3. transient-magnificent-cork
ok
Me: Do we need 2 pairs of ear buds for $3?
Wife: No.
Me: There are pretty pink ones and black and yel...
Wife: (cutting me off) Nooooooo!
Me: (sigh) OK.
I tried.
@medz I love purple.
@medz buy them and send them to a different address
@medz buy them or hand in you man card
@medz
@medz It's Better to Beg for Forgiveness than to Ask for Permission
sooooooooo buying an assload
@lera .... that isn't where you are supposed to put these... eew.
@lera I need to ask: what constitutes an 'assload' of ear buds? I simply must know!
@epicpoptart It's probably quite a lot if you're Kim Kardashian.
@epicpoptart it would have to be somewhere < 1 for me plz ;(
@MsELizardBeth ear buds in. ties the the other end to the thigh so he doesn't lose them (though at three dollars for two, no biggie) and then hooks in. Nothing better than a heavy metal enema.
@epicpoptart Regardless, it's got to be better than an earload of assbuds.
@lera What do you mean, "That's not earwax."?
@vanmeter24 I'm sorry to hear about your lack of ass
@epicpoptart did we come to a conclusion on how much an assload is? The suspence is killing me.
@epicpoptart a little bit less than a shit ton
No mic. But meh, why not. You'll always find a use for them.
In for 3! transient-magnificent-cork
@dfunk29 I thought that said cock.
Hmmm... six appears to be an ass load... sneaky-clear-attack
Oh what the heck...I'm sure I can figure out some kind of use for these ;)
ratty-new-belief
Oh look!! Twofer Tuesday that dirty temptress showing up once again. Better just buy 3 sets of two because, why the fuck not. In fact, better jump on the wife's account and get more...damn it all.
@studerc I did the same and quickly opened the other browser where my husband's account stays logged in and bought another three sets. Love twofers.
blue-hilarious-pesto
black
black/blue

@shortman I love purple.
@Barney I don't love purple.
merry-toasty-zebra! In for 3...er 6!
I needed some new earbuds since my old ones broke
good timing meh
black and yellow were out of stock so I went with black
@WilhelmScreamer I love purple.
In for three. Stepson loses/breaks earphones at an alarming rate. This oughtta keep him for a little while.
I just bought the max from both my account and my husband's. Starting Christmas shopping for next year already. Thanks, Meh! (And of course, I did get some in purple.)
@PurplePawprints I love purple.
@Barney Me too!!!!
What makes my purchase of these even sillier is I can't even use them because I wear hearing aids. They'll be great for everyone else in the family, though.
@PurplePawprints WHAT?!?
@Kyser_Soze Clever.
Are those Seals crying because they are being forced to listen to Seal?
Ever since the kids left I don't seem to go through earphones/buds at the rate I used to. At one point I was buying them by the dozen from a wholesaler. LOL!
I have the more premium Jlab headphones and have been very happy with quality. Just make sure to burn them in, otherwise they can run very tinny. They have a burnin tool on their website.
@j8048188 Matches?
@j8048188 gotta burnin tool in me breeches!
@Kyser_Soze http://www.jlabaudio.com/pages/audio-burn-in-download
I listen to audiobooks. Sound quality is of no importance. Volume however is. That's why I bought 3 sets.
no microphone :(
In x 3 deals. My 8 &9 year old sons like to whirl these around and throw them like bolos to capture one another. Only 10 more years till the youngest heads off to college!
If only I didn't have issues with things touching my ears....
As someone that only owns 2 headphones. I will make it 4 today. None of them will be Beats or something better than Beats.
@GiantTarget These won't, but there are a shitload of headphones out there better than Beats.
2 colors already gone. Buy now or you'll be jamming pink.
@Outofmymind I love purple.
@Outofmymind heh heh...you said "jammin pink" heh
I had some different JLabs with the built in volume limiter. They also had a double seal that would try to take your eardrum with them when you removed them. Sound-wise... meh. melodious-odious-ink!
Black/silver, and blue, and pink. Nobody better say 'I thought those were mine!' No excuses for pilfering. Peace will reign. I foresee a 1 AM sellout, but I got mine. Not sure why.
@OldCatLady I love purple.
It's days like today that make me really glad there is a limit. Otherwise I'm afraid to think of how many of these things I would have bought... just because.
6 sets of cheap ear buds for $9, right after I gave my daughter the last set of cheap Elvis earbuds I bought from Woot so many years ago. SOLD!!!
@escapecar I still have a set of those! And one of The Who, too. lol.
@escapecar My last remaining pair (KISS) are right next to me. I miss the braided cord.
I bought 3 sets, so each of my kids can have one and I'll have 2 sets for myself (unless my girlfriend wants one).
Note: I saved the purple ones for you.
@theco2 I love purple.
And this is the first thing I have ever purchased from Meh.
@theco2 Down to 3 colors, be glad you jumped quick. This will be down to pink by 30 minutes in and sold out shortly after.
@theco2 Glad to see you finally found something worth buying!
@PurplePawprints So am I. The Xmas VMP changed everything. I have avoided a few things, because of shipping, but not this time. This was too good to pass up.
@theco2
@JonT I knew you guys had a motif. It's all about selling things, isn't it?
@Barney I love orange.
In for 4. I destroy earbuds working out.
@Headly testy-unwary-fritter.
Worst. Contest. Ever.
Contestants: NO PICTURES.
Maybe we can just declare goatse the winner preemptively.
just the rush i get knowing i have a package coming in the mail...whew..more..more..and thanks MEH..
By the way, I remember some thread I'll never find about order phrases having thousands of words, but I've already got two different orders that use "acoustic" (including this one) and two that used "margarita." Does this confirm that computers are incapable of true randomness?

Whoa, only pink and black left. Welcome to 1986.
@editorkid ya I called that early on. Meh needs a new experiment. If it sells out within a hour post a new deal. Also 6000 reviews on Amazon over the course of 8 yes 8 years. Meh sold 3000 in 30 minutes. Experiment successful. Edit-Wow I called the finale wrong. Pink went out 2nd to last.
I love purple.
@Outofmymind Between you and me, I think the whole "experiment" thing was a conceit, a plot device, a, well, a context. Maybe just a PR thing.
The one time I decide to wait twenty minutes before checking Meh - "It's a two-fer-Tuesday, it's probably a shit deal" - and you guys sell out of the electric blue ones. Those look sweet.
I love purple.
Buh-damn these are moving fast. Down to just black and pink already. So many other colors I wanted, but dat vmp made me get a pair anyway.
@djslack aaaaaand now the pink are sold out too
I love purple.
Perfect because I go through earbuds quickly. Less perfect because the cool colors are already gone. Only pink and black left. Luckily I'm a girl so pink is OK. Bought both colors. Relieved to know my earbud cushion is back.
I love purple.
@Pamela I wanted black anyway so I was in luck for a change. I just knew that free VIP was going to make me buy stuff I really don't need. Always good for a gift "add on" though.
I wonder since I ordered the max, "butt load" if it gave me a fitting order name. frightful-adverse-uranus
Bought one set, saw how fast they were flying off the virtual shelves and convinced myself to buy a second set. Mebbe @unixrab is right about VMP.....nah.

They must have stocked up on black.
this is the kind of deal that is "puuuurplefic" for 'getting your VMP monies worth"
@unixrab Your quotes are not balanced. You really know how to trigger my nervous tic.
@SSteve 'wha" ?
Lol..
outrageous-electrical-act
What really sucks about this sale is, without a slut video, and this being sold out very soon, we'll be forced to read 23 hours of goat threads.
@Outofmymind true
@Outofmymind And that's a problem why?
@Outofmymind we all know who to blame about that...
I just want to thank the buyers for including a special color to keep Barney busy.
@Cinoclav Would that be blue?
@theco2 Well now you've gone and done it...
I love purple.
@Barney They are sold out, now. Sorry!
Wow! 11:27 and already only black or pink. Oh well, got a pair (a pair of pairs?) of each, 'cuz somebody will use 'em or lose 'em.
I love purple.
Only black. Bought more pairs
Cautiously in for two.
Couple drawbacks: no remote or mic in this model
Freq. response is 20Hz-20KHz, less than Apple EarPods (5Hz-21Khz) but pretty standard
Impedance is 16 Ohm, lower than EarPod 23 Ohm. I'm guessing these buds will have a lot of distortion at higher volumes. I don't know if this actually means anything.
@KeyserStoze pretty sure you are troling me with the earpoops
@KeyserStoze @$1.50? Nope, not to me :) of course, I will be using these for anything BUT listening to music I care about :)
@KeyserStoze Frequency response beyond 20-20k means nothing (unless you have abnormal hearing range beyond 20k which is possible although I'm pretty sure no one can hear 5Hz). Impedance means something but definitely not sound quality.
@KeyserStoze If you're over the age of 18 you can't hear over about 18,000 anyway. If you're over 40 you can't hear over 15,000. Similar on the low end. Lower resistance = more watts. That's it. It may be more distorted, it may not depending on the driver in the earbud. I use these for running and working out. These are disposable at this price.
@Headly Try this hearing test. Without headphones I've got the heariing of a 90 year old WWII artillery veteran.
@Teripie Try it first with headphones, and then without headphones. Without headphones you are testing the quality of the treble of your speakers. My speakers are "Fair".
@Teripie hmmm... one of the few online tests that I rate "remarkable" at ... go figure.
Aaaand gone.
I have a nice pair of Sony headphones, but I somehow feel bad that I missed out on this deal.
DAMMIT ALL GONE.
I just bought 5 pairs of cheap earbuds (for 37 bucks) from Amazon --33 minutes before these went on sale. Then I forgot to check Meh until these were already sold out.
FML.
@avedum what earbuds did you buy from amazon?
@communist various colors of the Panasonic RPHJE120
@avedum I have a pair of the orange Panasonic's. They're surprisingly good earphones. While obviously not as cheap, I'd say you're getting a better sounding bud. (Of course that didn't stop me from buying some of these...)
@avedum because of @lisaviolet
@unixrab Most likely.
I love purple.
$5 shipping on $3 ear buds? meh
@TerriblyHuang guess thats what you feel like when you miss free VMP for 2 months and would buy this if you had it
@TerriblyHuang They just gave away 2 months free shipping the other day to anyone who was brave enough to click a button for 24 hours..
@sp3ar
@Outofmymind
Tried but "Address failed validation"
@TerriblyHuang If you haven't you should contact support then and see if they can work it out.
@Outofmymind : and demand earbuds. It's a right, dammit. This agression will not stand, man.
@v I was rather referring to fixing the VMP promotion as it did seem cause quite a few trouble.
@Outofmymind That's a long time to have people click a button. Sounds like some kind of wootoff.
@InFrom
@TerriblyHuang Would anyone have purchased these without the lube of VMP? I think not. @sp3ar @outtamymind That's 3940 pairs of headphones that VMP made disappear.
@unixrab continues to be the greatest gif in the history of mankind.
@jrwofuga but no Georgia red.
I love purple.
Garbage.
@shabazz18 pail kids? what did I win?
This is what happens when I take a shower? Fuck me.
@Supertainment in the shower?
@Ignorant you should try it with a partner! It's EVEN BETTER.
I'm late to the party tonight and the crappiest drink is gone first, score!
Don't you people have jobs? How did these sell out in under 90 minutes?
@VeeDubTDI I suffer with exhaustion through my work day for the opportunity to buy cheap crap.
@VeeDubTDI Well, everybody got this week as paid vacation. Oh, sorry, you didn't?
@OldCatLady of course I did! This week and most of last week.
@VeeDubTDI Pacific coast. They came up at 9:00 our time.
I have a day job. No conflict.
sold out T.T
oh my god you bought them all
Sheesh, went fast. Wah, woulda bought cheapo earbuds to sub for my cheapo meh headphones sometimes. Both meh headphone sets still working, btw. GF even stole a pair.
@mehjohnson ex-GF, right?
nooo!!!!! sold out, need one T__T *sigh
Up at 5am and those rascally little devils on the west coast beat me to them! I need to move. Does Meh offer any moving incentives?
@Felyne Meh offers the incentive to wake up earlier and move to your computer to get these deals before they sell out.
@Saffer49 OMG! Less beauty sleep!!? There are enough disasters in the world!
@Felyne East coast here. I trade sleep for good deals. I was in for two sets.
@Cinoclav u have my undying admiration! A true Mehven!
@Felyne More likely a true moron, but I can't resist...
@Cinoclav LOL!! ;-)
Purchased 2 (er, 4) at the stroke of midnight EST -- glad I did given they sold out so quickly.
authentic-blotchy-place (ewwwww)
[insert horrific image here]
Argh... these sold out fast
1 hour? Really? So now we can't sleep until meh shoots it's wad every night.
@Milest This was actually a really good, cheap deal that just about everyone can use and afford.
Congratulations on the sellout Meh. I'm very proud of you today!
Bummer. The 7.1 surround sound system for my pet hamsters will have to wait. Does anybody know where to source a 1 centimeter sub-woofer?
@RedOak ![I found a video of an itty bitty teeny tiny one. Will this work?][1] [1]:
@Tiamat114 good potential, looks to be moving some serious air. Do you have the specs? Also note our $19 speaker (all 8) budget for this system.
@RedOak I would love, love to see this.
@RedOak Well, the comments on the video say its a sony ericsson cellphone speaker. A super fast eBay search shows those phones faulty (like, broken lcd screens) for $1-$2, doesn't matter if the screens broken when you just want the speaker anyway. I imagine thre shipping involved, but it still may fall within your budget.
The image search for my idiotic-sultry-shark is pretty good:
@OldCatLady has the Dolphin Sex guy expanded to sharks??
@VeeDubTDI No, apparently this is some new idiot. Darwin award contender.
I saw these when they first came up, thought to myself "wow, cool, and cheap! free shipping, too, I'll get a set of each color!", I clicked on the buy button (on my touchpad) and because that thing is so slow, there was enough time for my brain to think about all the earbuds I already have, still in packaging, never used.
My second thoughts helped someone else buy these earbuds. You're welcome.
@lisaviolet I thought about that too after I purchased them. It was justified, though - my other sets aren't purple.
I love purple.
@lisaviolet one of the few who escaped the black hole that is vmp
Damn damn damn! The first non-meh in a month and it's sold out? Damn!
Because there's really nothing else to say, so...
I love how the cats are unfazed.
@Cinoclav Can't stop watching...lol
Hey! I bought six pair, (even purple ones, I love purple) and I'm from Wyoming. Fix your map!
I love purple.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
@jrwofuga That's my... never mind.
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
I love purple.
This thread is either pure bliss or pure misery for @Barney. On an unrelated note, orange?
@brhfl Go Syracuse! BiG OrAnGe!
@brhfl I love orange.
@brhfl I love purple!
@brhfl orange > purple.
Any word on these? My order has a tracking number, but hasn't been picked up yet and my husband's order still doesn't have tracking.
@PurplePawprints I'll check in on this for you tomorrow.
@PurplePawprints Looks like there's movement on your tracking now :) https://meh.com/orders
@PurplePawprints These shipped the other day. I've just been informed that SmartPost is a little backed up, so tracking may not be updating as quickly.
@JonT @hart Thanks for the updates! Should I be concerned that my husband's @Griz still just says placed? His order number is woolen-arrogant-arm.
@PurplePawprints Probably not, but I'll check tomorrow (just in case).
@hart I know I'm being a pain, but did you get a chance to check on this? His order still says 'placed' and when I checked our account, my payment cleared but the authorization for his purchase expired and has not been reprocessed per normal. Should I open a support ticket at this point or wait a bit longer?
@PurplePawprints I looked into this for you and it looks like there was an issue with our backend system. They'll ship today.
@JonT Thank you!
@JonT @hart Okay, this is getting a little ridiculous. haha My order came in the mail today and seems fine. Oddly enough, my husband also received a much smaller package in the mail today. In his, there were two sets of the black/chrome ear buds he ordered. No sign of the black/electric blue or boqari blue ones though. What's going on? Are the two missing sets the ones @JonT said were shipping out yesterday? His account still just shows the order as 'placed'.
@JonT @Hart So, I know things kind of exploded here in the forums over the weekend so I'm just posting again in case this got lost in it all. Any chance you can check into it again?
@PurplePawprints Hey, I'm so sorry. It has been nuts around here. I just looked at his order and it shows as delivered. Maybe you have the wrong tracking number? Edit: Oh, I just saw that you're missing some of them. Send something to meh.com/support and we'll ship the rest of the order.
@hart Thank you. I just did that from his account. I appreciate the response.
Finally got these today. As far as I can tell they are every bit as good as the Apple ones. (that's not saying much) and like 5% of the price!
I received mine yesterday, black. They stink. Literally. At least the one pair I opened has a strong, stinky, plasticky smell. Not sure of the offending component but the whole thing, cord, plug, ear buds have the odor. Probably from being in the same little bag.
@Stumpy91 the odor rapidly dissipates.
@Headly I agree. I was going to post an update but forgot.
I have a bad feeling about this; my idiotic-sultry-shark status says it was placed, but my card hasn't been charged. I had plans for them, too.
Definitely a good deal!
My delivery estimate for these is next Wednesday, 1/14. It was the holidays, they were busy, I'm mostly patient.
Usually, by the time things show up I forget I'd ordered them, so it's a fun surprise.
Got these in the other day. Wished the purple looked less pink, but I'll just gift them or throw them into the next Exchange.
They're pretty good Meh earbuds and I ordered other colors in case they weren't the type of purple I like.
I like purple.
My two arrived today here in Sacramento, CA. I had set low expectations and they were greatly exceeded.
Two-thirds of my idiotic-sultry-shark arrived today (pink and black/chrome), and they're miraculous. Haven't tried them in operation, but since meh still hasn't charged my card for them, I'd say that's a miracle. The order still shows 'placed', and never updated to 'shipped'. Actually, my peevish-peppery-division order of Shake & Go Tumblers arrived at the same time, and it too still says 'placed'. It's a murkel as well.
@OldCatLady Yeah, my husband received part of his order, (two out of six) but it would have been nice to hear what happened to the rest. :-/
@OldCatLady Hey, this is weird. I'm going to look into it. In the meantime, do me a favor and send a message to meh.com/support. That will help us figure out what happened.
@OldCatLady I love purple.
@hart I did, on the 10th; case 13841. Holly responded on the 13th, I replied to her response today also, as soon as the mail got here.
Just got my set of two... they sound pretty darned good for three bucks. I wish I'd bought more so I could give them to people. If y'all want to stick some in my fuku bag, I wouldn't be disappointed. ;)
I got shorted on my order - but the ones I received do sound pretty good - plus I scored the fuku so maybe it will fill in the gaps :)
These have been surprisingly good. They don't fit as snugly as my $12-15 Sony earbuds, but the sound quality seems comparable. One pair even survived a trip through the washer and dryer and still work well. I'll buy more if they are offered again.
