Can I change my name to ‘prettypicturesexciteme’?
o.k. I need meh community help, (not psychological you idiots!). I’ve bought many bluetooth thingies from here, and given them away, which makes people think I’m very generous, but it’s because I’m an idiot.
Sorry to veer left there, but, I have to buy a new phone, after no cell for like 5 months. I’m gonna spend like $200 on a used phone–what kind–I have no idea—it’s so confusing.
Should I buy these now, cause it’s a great deal and worry later? I love that wrap-around-da-ear thing—it’s the only kind I wear (koss kcs 75’s mostly).
@wew worry about it later. The wrap around the ear is really stiff on these. Myself and a buddy got some last time, Neither of us liked how they felt, and they were too small on his ears.
My last pair broke at the ear piece , by virtue of storing it in my jacket pocket instead of the zippered case they provided. I didn’t have anything else in the pocket and it was an easy day. But the next morning the ear bud was snapped off. Still charges, and left ear still works. But use the case!
Back in 2006 I took a friend’s advice and tried to replace sugar with zero-calorie sweeteners and cut out soda - it was a diet thing, and I never lost any weight. However I felt terrific for a couple months (I’ve continued to keep the sugar low but have not felt that good since.) Also, I have not had the flu since, and I used to get it almost every year. I still occasionally get the sniffles, but I have not had a full-blown cold since, and I used to get about two every winter.
@unmlobo300 you have one more port left open on that 10 port charging station don’t you?
(Interesting - with all the USB-drinking shit Meh sells… and with all the questionable no-name 10-port USB fuelers available online… I don’t recall Meh selling one!?)
Am I the only one who understood the subliminal message that these headphones will suck the sugar from your brain and help you lose weight? Count me in.
One pair is still working fine. The other was nothing but trouble. First they didn’t like getting sweat on the controller. After a run, sweat caused the buttons to stop working and added some annoying static to the audio. The static went away after they dried, but the volume buttons never quite worked the same after that. Then the right earpiece snapped. It still worked but it flopped around a bit. Finally the whole thing stopped taking a charge and would not power up. Off to electronics recycling heaven for that pair.
The second pair still works though so 50/50. And at $18 for 2… I’m still tempted
I see so many cheap bt headphones on slickdeals from no-name brands like this one. I just don’t know which are worth it and which aren’t. Are these any good at all?
I’ve got something similar. If these are like mine, there is a tiny hole on the back of the ear pod - a vent, or something. Cover that hole with a tiny bit of electrical tape, and the bass improves a great deal. Don’t know if these are the same, but I couldn’t stand listening to mine until I plugged those holes.
After spending more time than is worth it on an Amazon search, checking ratings and verifying with Fakespot, I’m going to take a chance on these. Lots of Fakespot F ratings for bluetooth headsets.
Like SPRUNT, broken head at the same spot. Other one full charged, sounds GREAT, but “power off” after 1-2 minutes. I like that my iPhone actually shows the icon of the bluetooth battery charge.

meh HA! First.
Yay! Headphones I need!
Bluetooth headphones are the new Meh Bluetooth speaker docks…
Meh headphones -double meh can you hear me now?
Don’t care about the headphones, but the write-up has me considering a late-night trip to the store for some Trix and a gallon of whole milk…
Aldi closeouts?
@heartny Aldi Si… or more precisely Ja!
anyone who got these last-time, do they support AAC?
@thismyusername, umm they support whatever comes out of the device you use them on…
@haydesigner I’ll just assume that is a no.
How good is the case? Last time I bought BT headphones from meh the “case” was the cardboard box they came in.
@dominusprinceps Go to ebay and buy a cheap case. Like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Waterproof-Carrying-Hard-Case-Box-Headset-Earphone-Earbud-Storage-Pouch-Bag/302387020238

@yerti thanks! Some people do call me Dumbo. I think it’s my ears.
@wew just realized what I said, should have said his ears were too small or they were too big for his ears.
@yerti Oh well! This changes everything!
I bought these last time. Other than the obnoxious (to me) colors, they work great! Apparently the color doesn’t affect the sound!
HEY! They were two for $24 last time!

@2palms Same thing happened to me.
Yum, bauhn bauhn’s!
VMP used for Feb. I started wondering, since it is a short month
@hchavers same but there is no cancelling now and going back. They got us forever…
Did you say you could sell me a case of sugar? That got my tail wagging, then saw headphones. Meh.
@phendrick I’m still waiting for a case of Peeps.
@sammydog01 Melted peeps.
/image melted peeps
Didn’t work with my Samsung s5, never figured out why.
First order going to my new apartment! My work desk phone is Bluetooth compatible too, so both will get some use.

@Kawa you know he’s saying Charlie Puth’s last name in that gif…
@Kawa he’ll always be the kid who ended up in a wheelchair on the new(ish) Degrassi to me.
That was quite the writeup for a company that once sold me 10 lbs of candy corn.
Back in 2006 I took a friend’s advice and tried to replace sugar with zero-calorie sweeteners and cut out soda - it was a diet thing, and I never lost any weight.

Choice of red or black - but the black is still like, kinda red in parts too… What??? Do I need to calibrate my monitor or drink more coffee?
@dvshrt more coffee. Coffee fixes everything.
Just another thing to charge up.
@unmlobo300 you have one more port left open on that 10 port charging station don’t you?
(Interesting - with all the USB-drinking shit Meh sells… and with all the questionable no-name 10-port USB fuelers available online… I don’t recall Meh selling one!?)

$28 for The Case Against Sugar audio book? Meh.
Gonna add these to my shelf collection of rarely used earbuds that could someday come in handy.
/giphy distrustful-unknown-kiwi
In for the wife and I so we can listen to tunes while we exercise. If we ever exercise is another question.

I bought these last time and I’m 50/50.

@Lazarpandar This is Aldi’s house brand, so it’s not 100% no-name.

1 pair fresh out of the package
Just opened one for my son. Wire ripped right out of the headset while I was removing it from the package.
Like SPRUNT, broken head at the same spot. Other one full charged, sounds GREAT, but “power off” after 1-2 minutes. I like that my iPhone actually shows the icon of the bluetooth battery charge.
@dgerous the company is refusing to honor warranty
@dgerous
You contacted Bauhn, or Meh?
The warranty is through Mediocre.
Got mine, they seem to work pretty well. I’m happy with them.
