@Kidsandliz … Simple, the ‘lil voice in his noggin’ told him so as it leaked thru his ears. Don’t we all have this ability…? Mine doesn’t speak well in color but it’s still informative.
If these are as nice as the Audio Technica Sonic Fuel Over-Ear Headphones I bought from Meh, then I will be happy with them. If they are not as good, I will be sad and they will sit in a pile with all the other earbuds I bought from Meh.
I’m gonna buy these just for the mic… Also I haven’t purchased anything for 66 days and I’m startin’ to regret paying the five bucks a month. Amazon doesn’t seem to like 'em very well but hey, they don’t cost the big bucks.
I’ve been up since 0100 Sunday and when I went to buy at 0800 the damn site kept logging me out so I got on the iPhone and it went through fine but only red and yellow were left. Went with red and yes it’s now 0223 Monday morning and still up - insomnia is a cruel bitch. However, since I got them I’m adding my own order number so I can see how giphy will mess with me.

Did anyone else get these earbuds? I don’t know if it’s just the pair I got, but to say these are extremely crappy is an understatement. I’ve gotten earbuds from Dollar Tree that sound better. There’s no bass whatsoever, hardly any mid-range and the highs are crackly. Other than that the design is nice, but I didn’t buy them to use as earrings. I got a pair of Audio Technica Sonic Fuel Over-Ear Headphones from Meh that are pretty decent, so I don’t know why the buds should be this horrendously dreadful. I wasn’t expecting them to be comparable to my M50x’s, but I didn’t expect them to be at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Very disappointing to say the least.
@heartny Yeah these are horrible. I guess being sold in pairs should have been a big hint but if they retailed for even close to what Meh said it did they should at least sound competent but they don’t. I just took the extension and hooked it onto my decent earbuds.
@connorbush I tried that. I cringe every time I try these things. I need to stop! I can’t believe Audio Technica would produce something that has such awful quality sound.
@heartny Try different sized silicone tips if you don’t hear bass. Once I got a good seal there was plenty. Because of their design they are not the easiest to get the required seal, but once you do the bass will come out.
What I found lacking was mids. A ton of highs and bass was there but without mids they’re just painful for anything with guitars. Sounded surprisingly good when listening to EDM, for the price. I picked them up out of curiosity as I had never listened to AT buds before (I might have a slight headphone problem). As I generally like headphones that excel in mids these are extremely harsh, but for $5 headphones wasn’t expecting much. As they pretty much such for anything I would listen to just another pair for the junk pile, but never expected anything more at this price.
I had purchased some of the audio-technica sonic fuel earbuds from over at morningsave (I needed some that were cheap enough to get destroyed, and wanted to give the audio-technica ones a chance due to their full headset’s quality)… I was pretty disappointed with the lack of bass but shrugged it off at the price.
After reading this I tried 1 size smaller tip and the bass is there, they, like these, are lacking overall in sound quality, but at least they are not as tinny sounding now.
I would have never thought about changing tips for bass that since they fit and stayed in fine anyway… so thanks for the tip about the tips.
@heartny A little late, but yes, with the first pair, the left ear (speaker) went out completely within 2 hours. The second pair is still ok, so I’m about as well off as I would be with a $10 pair from Walgreens. Do love my A-T over the ear headphones, however.
The microphone works fine with Android, as does the hangup button.
That’s really all I wanted these for - tight seal in the ear to cut down on background noise and a microphone. I often find myself in data centers trying to have phone conversations with people in other countries, and they help.

Typo on bullet 3. “will fell stupid for not having purchased cheap headphones”
@Crood maybe they didn’t “fell” for the deal because they are not stupid?
Android or iPhone controls?
@2many2no MAYBE THAT’S WHY THE “i” IS LOWERCASE?
/giphy little "i"
For the price, these are great, and I do not “fell stupid” buying them (but I would feel stupid for not editing my copy better…)
What color sounds the best?
@wew dont know, but i used to hear in color
@dickie541 How did you hear in color? How did your ears know it was color?
@dickie541
@wew Blue sounds best. I’m sure of it. That’s the only color I buy, when it’s an option.
@Kidsandliz … Simple, the ‘lil voice in his noggin’ told him so as it leaked thru his ears. Don’t we all have this ability…? Mine doesn’t speak well in color but it’s still informative.
But…its not Tuesday…
@eeterrific Hmmmm, makes me wonder what might be up for sale this Tuesday…if you know what I mean.
@Kerig3 I’m going with some kind of tool with a LED feature or knives and docks.
@Kerig3 Looks like they went with speaker docks!

/Buy --color blue
@candiedisilvio1 Sorry, this deal contains 3 unique items and I’m not sure which one you want. Try ordering from the checkout page.
If these are as nice as the Audio Technica Sonic Fuel Over-Ear Headphones I bought from Meh, then I will be happy with them. If they are not as good, I will be sad and they will sit in a pile with all the other earbuds I bought from Meh.
A very good deal indeed.
I’m gonna buy these just for the mic… Also I haven’t purchased anything for 66 days and I’m startin’ to regret paying the five bucks a month. Amazon doesn’t seem to like 'em very well but hey, they don’t cost the big bucks.
@unkabob That’s a nice summary - but those Amazon reviews make my feet cold.
Pass. Just won some Samsung Level On wireless cans for free.
For all the dad’s waiting for this deal to resume …
/image bad-fast-avacado
Why did these sell so quickly? There doesn’t seem to be anything special about them.
@versabox Good point. Other than the price.
@versabox cheap, similar ones go for $10-20 each at the stores
and its a actual decent audio brand, rather than the cheap no brands for sale at the stores for this price
The earbuds saved for VMPs sold out while i was trying to buy them at 1:02 PDT. How many did you reserve for us?
@sdlieber From the front page:
“4pm - 4:01pm ET: 32 sold to VMP members
Sold out at 4:01pm ET”
I’d like to buy these please, are they for sale?
@Ignorant You’re a VMP, try using:
/bye-bye
@Barney worked, thanks!
@Ignorant Damn, you made me laugh!
Great. The one time I sleep until 4:03, you have something good.

Oh hell ya! I’m keeping that one! But just to see…

Nope, giphy won one this time.

@heartny bad earbuds from meh? say it isn’t so
@thismyusername It’s twoo, it’s twoo.
@heartny did ou adjust the little slidy bar on the mic? It helped a bit even when my phone volume was up, the bar made it go up more and sound better.
@heartny Yeah these are horrible. I guess being sold in pairs should have been a big hint but if they retailed for even close to what Meh said it did they should at least sound competent but they don’t. I just took the extension and hooked it onto my decent earbuds.

@Raider hey thanks for this.

@heartny Are they jammed nice and tight into your ears? They need a good seal to produce bass.
@heartny A little late, but yes, with the first pair, the left ear (speaker) went out completely within 2 hours. The second pair is still ok, so I’m about as well off as I would be with a $10 pair from Walgreens. Do love my A-T over the ear headphones, however.

I started using it when I got it. Only actually started heavily using it a month ago. It’s already falling apart
