@RiotDemon Not that these are jewelry, per se, but why is it so impossible to find jewelry online that’s being modeled? Also I feel like half the time I go to look at a top with such and such back detail, there’s no photo of the back… Fashion etail has a way to come.
@sammydog01 Thanks for reading it! And I don’t know how much they’re going for right now, but you definitely but 8 of them together to make a pinkie spider.
I, like most people in this world have an iPhone built after 1942…what good will these do me (or my girlfriend) Way to lose your entire iPhone fan base…PLUS who uses anything wired anymore?? #blutoothonly!
The turquoise option looks like it will match my daughter’s hair, and she’s always complaining that her earbuds are too big, so hopefully this will be a win. We’ll see.
These appear to be nice headphones, although probably overpriced. I found the sound to be a bit lacking in base, but since I use them to listen to podcasts, that’s not a problem for me.
What is a problem is the amount of packaging. The unopened package is 223 grams, of which 11 grams are the actual headphones. They come in a jewelry-type velvet box, which is nestled in a lot of plastic, which is inside a thin cardboard box, which is wrapped in tissue paper. They also include a carry pouch, and a thick little book about how to use them. (Seriously? They’re kidding, right?) The end package is about 8x3x3", which is absurd for headphones.
I just started using them, so I can’t comment on durability, and I got them on sale, so price was not an issue for me, but I really can’t recommend them. It’s just a ludicrous amount of packaging for an overpriced item.
@Chakolate make sure you use the proper ear tips for your ears … Once I found the right size, the sound is really good.
and I agree with the packaging. I was astonished. This is likely the most overpackaged product I have ever purchased.

kinda makes me think of female robots from futurama.

@Seeds Oh, I remember that one.
That’s stupid. Everyone knows if you want your product to appeal to women you have to make it pink.
Is “lady ears” code for something?
Why is there never any product photos of people wearing them properly?
From the first photo I thought they were going to be wireless. Too bad.

@brhfl too much money to pay a model?
I’ve had better luck with clothing photos lately.
@brhfl @RiotDemon Amazon had a model in their photos. She made these stupid things look good.
@sammydog01 just went and looked. You can barely see them, I suppose that’s why they look good, haha
Triggered!
/giphy yawn
5 minutes in and already sold 7 more than I thought they would.
Hmmm… cheaper than Estradiol…
“Sewed”? “Sewn”? But surely not “sowed”.
@djslack ugh. brain fart. fixed.
@dseanadams Thanks for the creepy story! What so you use an amputated pinky for and how much is it worth?
@sammydog01 Last night’s Elementary had an ex-Yakuza hacker w/ a prosthetic flash drive — like this guy https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5005118/Computer-programmer-from-Finland-has-lost-finger-replaced-with-USB-drive.html
@TPS OK that’s pretty cool.
@sammydog01 Thanks for reading it! And I don’t know how much they’re going for right now, but you definitely but 8 of them together to make a pinkie spider.
Someone paid $100 for this?!
$50.
$100 was for two.
@haydesigner Someone paid $50 for this!
@haydesigner @JT954 Someone asked $50 for this.
Wait, no. Someone claimed to have once asked $50 for this.
Ok fine I’ll do it…
Does the in-line mic (that you’re most certainly not going to use) mean you could hypothetically plug this into a phone to – gasp – make phone calls?
No purple? For that reason alone, NO.
They’re like tiny, adorable little butt plugs.
Wait, did I just say that out loud??
@shahnm no, you typed it

@blankcanvas0587 why do you think it’s on meh?
@blankcanvas0587 People still use iPhones?
Why?
@blankcanvas0587 Didn’t you hear Apple forgot to put the hole in the case. There is a video showing where and how to correct this.
@hchavers Was it the one in which they used a sledge hammer to make the hole?
Maybe I can finally hear the good deals from Meh.
Gift of the Mehgi?
i need to see more actual product usage photos
Wish I could buy these, but I’m not a lady.
@SirLouie
Would you be interested in our “Skank” collection?
Was going to buy them for my wife but just remembered her phone doesn’t have a phone jack.
@WootTangClan so her phone has been jacked off?
Perhaps ‘for people who like sparkly things’ rather than ‘for women’?
@RobinBobcat
No.
I’m just an unfrozen caveman, who doesn’t know about these things at all. Is the jack in this 3.5mm or 1.75mm?
Good timing. I’m running low on earbuds to use with my treasured Sansa mp3 players.
/giphy overwrought-frightened-pepper
Whoever designed these…is an anus.
@Bumplepimp a small anus judging ny the size of these.
Hey, if it works for the brothers, it works for me…(gotta love L’il wayne, he’s incorrigible)
/giphy gentle-budding-rock
Yay for designing for small ears! This is truly a problem for me. I want one red and one turquoise but I only got one color choice.
Idea for a new iPhone accessory… Build/develop a Bluetooth device and be able to connect these earphones. Voila! We will make million$…

@MrMark DANG… Well back to playing the lottery for me. That’s my retirement plans.
The turquoise option looks like it will match my daughter’s hair, and she’s always complaining that her earbuds are too big, so hopefully this will be a win. We’ll see.
/giphy precise-militant-conjurer
If you can live without the shitty crystals, there are plenty of other options out there. Many for around $6 each. For example - purple!

Perfect for my wife, the Supreme Destroyer of Headphones.
Pass. But thanks for the O Henry write up. That earned a genuine smile.

@helenr1966 I couldn’t find tips the right size, even though they give you ten pairs. I ended up using tips from another brand.
