@chienfou, No, ‘again’ was good!! For a long time I thought meh was just another fn Headphone dealer!! I got a few earplugs & one pair very similar to these, AND I’ve not worn any of them,…I mean, why do I need earplugs, or bulky ass headphone’s in my house. I have been quarantined forever, so as long as my dog & kitten don’t complain, then I’m good! BTW, I even have hearing-aids & don’t wear them either, so!!
@chienfou OK, looked at the Morningsave ones again just now. They sell the exact same ones but
they are $15 each (but you only have to buy one) and
they only come with a 90 day warranty (1 yr for these)
Not sure why the difference in the warranty…
BTW, I even have hearing-aids & don’t wear them either, so!!
yeah, I know that you mean (and it totally pisses off the missus!) I lost one of my HAs a while back (as in several months ago) and still haven’t gone in to replace it/them yet.
@chienfou@Trinityscrew, my full- grown black cat, 1Eyed Jack, wondered off about a year ago & never returned. Since he was a Tom Cat he enjoyed having kids. Well, during one sexual encounter he got my neighbor’s cat pregnant & she recently had two chillin, aka children, or rather kittens. Anyway my friend knew I wanting a kitten, so he gave me one. I’ve had her, Spookie, about a week now & she is a fuckin mess, but I like her,… so far!! I just hope her & my dog, Quasimodo, can get along!!
I’m interested in these, but I’m still using these Wicked Audio headphones I bought on meh awhile back. At $12, they were easily one of the best purchases I ever made on meh (almost makes up for all the garbage). If these rubbery blue bitches are even half as good they’re still worth it.
@dvermilion
I have been pretty happy with the Wicked stuff i have bought over the years. OTOH those look much more like “over-the-ear” cans (my preference) where this offering looks like “on-the-ear”. Still, as you say, may make good mowing accessories. (I usually use earbuds under hearing protectors so I don’t have to crank them up so loud.) I have some (cheap) headphones that are supposed to be noise cancelling but I haven’t tried to see if they will block out the mower yet. Still recovering from Achilles tendon surgery so haven’t been able to get on the mower quite yet…
@fring the sound is decent but people complain they can’t hear me so I think the mic is crap. The other ones I got here started with an A. I forget the name right now. They don’t sound as good but they work better for phone calls. They also have active noise cancellation but I really don’t like it.
@fring@tweezak I definitely don’t like the mic, but I also didn’t buy them for that purpose (I prefer earbuds with an in-line mic for calls, it’s easier to control the mic audio).
@chienfou In my admittedly limited experience, active noise-canceling tends to be better at filtering out higher frequencies, so if they’re actively powered it could definitely take the edge off the mower (which makes it much easier to hear the music), but if ear protection is the concern your current solution is probably better. I actually had a friend who did the same thing–and for the same reason! Great minds think alike. Hope your recovery goes well, man. I hear that one’s a real bitch.
Welp, I have started Christmas shopping so I can add these to the kids stuffs and then use them while mowing once they continue to leave them laying around with dead batteries.
@JvB@radi0j0hn
any idea how you can control the data on the card? does it have to be one ginormous folder that plays in order? Does it start back where you left off? Can you play individual folders (ie albums) and how do you know which one you picked? how do you select an FM station? Does it establish presets based on signal strength?
…So many questions
Has Pitney Bowes heard our anguishing cries and improved themselves in a matter of months? My package was not stuck in Grapevine, TX for a whole two weeks! A most joyous day!
@jmagg11861
Thanks. I had tried to hunt it down but wasn’t successful (and was at work) so gave up.
Unfortunately it doesn’t answer my TF questions. I just have trouble wrapping my head around how you would possibly control your media…
These are actually decent for a “cheap” set of headphones. My 9 year-old loves them; especially because he can load music onto a microSD card and wear them on the bus (bypassing the “No Phones” rule).
Ok y’all I need your help! Am I confused or should I contact CS?
This deal was 2 sets of headphones for $12 correct? So if I added another for a total of $24 I should have received 4 sets correct? Paid $24 and only got 2 sets…
@jimeezlady I have a key holder disguised as dog poop that I bought in the middle of the night. I keep it by my bed as a reminder of midnight regret purchasing but it doesn’t always work.
A “2 pack” indicates that an order of 1 will be 2 items in a pack. If you place an order of 2, you should receive 2 packs of 2 for a total of 4 items. What the hell am I missing?
You Must Select 2 Colors To Complete Your Order: Pink/White, Red/Black, Black/Gold, White/Rose Gold
So unless you added four individual items to your cart, you got a two pack. If you look at price paid, they split it in half for each item so you can choose your colors.
@RiotDemon From meh it says, “October 4, 2020

@sbchapm yeah, that’s a pretty long time without an update. I’d contact meh at this point. If you go to the order find the “I need help with this” button. Copy the tracking info to them in your message.
Only 4 hour life? — Passssssssss

@chienfou @decoratedwarvet Kitten? Where’d you get a kitten? Anything you got before this madness would be a full grown cat by now.
@chienfou @decoratedwarvet @Trinityscrew from a mommy cat

@chienfou @Trinityscrew, a shorter answer is,…what Mr. Alcoholic said!!
Meh = MorningSave. MorningSave = Meh.
@chienfou isn’t Morning Save a Meh site?
@jpr9845 @akooyer
technically they both fall under the mercatalyst banner. They are sister sites, not the same site.
@chienfou @decoratedwarvet Condoms, Charlie. She wants to know if you brought any condoms.
@chienfou @hutchnow, nah, it’s like takin a shower with your clothes on!!
Ah, fond memories of youth … “Flexi Rubber Finish”.
@mike808 Which is great until that day you pick them up and it’s turned into adhesive…
Sure, why not? Throw aways for the kids.

Totally agree. Been really happy with that purchase as well.

what pray tell does that mean?
@chienfou It means it support TF memory cards.
/giphy dont kill me
@Fodder650
/giphy sigh
@chienfou well, you could google it…
Or I could just tell you it means trans flash.
Also known as a micro sd memory card.
@eVil
nice try, but not really. There are subtle differences.
FM and /i/ can listen to mp3s on a card! Perfect for lawn mowing!
@radi0j0hn I don’t see a dial for the radio. Am I missing something?
@radi0j0hn FM radio…makes me almost wanna bite. I agree they’d be good for lawn mowing…8+ months from now

The last Bluetooth ear buds I bought here had a dead battery, too risky to chance it again even at this price.
@Stallion same here. Even the replacement was dead
Now if only I had two heads.
Anybody found a link to the manual by any chance? That would be most helpful.
@chienfou Here ya go, but it’s not that helpful.

High quality cans! Two sets!! Just like the ones these professional DJs are wearing!!!
@MrNews with optional wires even!
@chienfou That’s not for the cans; it’s continuous electroconvulsive shock therapy for Ren & Stimpy.
@MrNews makes sense! I’m such an EE-Di-Ot!

@jimeezlady 2 for $24. It’s $12 per but you have to add two to the cart to get the deal.
From above:
Also:
@sammydog01 Thank-you for your help!
I shouldn’t shop when it’s past my bedtime.
@jimeezlady I have a key holder disguised as dog poop that I bought in the middle of the night. I keep it by my bed as a reminder of midnight regret purchasing but it doesn’t always work.
@sammydog01
@jimeezlady That was my understanding and I’m in the same boat as you. I hope they make it right.
Got mine. Like em a lot, even the TF card MP3 player.
Got these for my daughter, she really likes them so far! good buy.
Anyone have issues with the microphone not working?
Garbage
