@vinuash- Wha, Wha, Wha, What? ‘of things you would put in your butt’? What Other things do you even Put in you butt? I ask this seriously, and candidly because as I’m a man, I’m not that sure what women privately & commonly do.
@Bayamonprieto77@Kidsandliz I am truly shocked at how generous some people are with stars when they were going to return the item. Why would you give a three star review if you weren’t going to keep it?
@Kidsandliz And still selling there for over 4x the price! Very meh reviews there though the default sorting of reviews from high to low rather than most helpful first is quite disingenuous on HSN’s part.
Quick summary of reviews. They’re pretty. Sound reasonably good if they work, and if they will stay in your ears. buuuut they are fairly heavy, tend to fall out of people’s ears, charge doesn’t last very long, can be difficult to pair, build quality is substandard: most common complaint is that the charging port doesn’t line up well with case, not at all waterproof, one or both buds stop working within a couple weeks. May have difficulty controlling volume, though that could be user error more than the fault of the device. (Use your phone to adjust the volume!)

@katbyter@RiotDemon Actually, I take that back, these here are only 2 hours play time? No, I’ll pay less and get 6 hours play time elsewhere. Too bad, I’ll miss out on the Irises. They are my favorite Van Gogh.
Kind of like if you repeat something often enough, people will believe it – if you sell something often enough, I’ll eventually buy one. minor-pumped-crow
Reviews on link above are kinda ambivalent: either they are great or they don’t pair well. Guess I’ll find out (hopefully within Meh’s 90 warranty period).

@shahnm The only anagram I see is 3141604040 GRNWYMNN which isn’t too terrible an approximation of pi, plus a decent onomatopoeia of the sound one makes while scarfing down a huge slice of pie.
Most of the bad reviews on HSN all sound batery related. And the item being severely discounted.would suggest that you have new.oldstock so maybe the batterys are stagnant and their at a point of diminished return and they will be unsellable. In the near
Future …just sayin. .i’m gonna ride the shit out of these for 3 months and hope I never have to return them.Gonna go buy a pair because team Meh does not let their vmps get fucked. Nice job team Meh!!!
I can wear these in my job as a human bidet! They keep the pressure in my ears down. When I blow warm water up these obese elderly people’s cornholes…Life is moist!
Passing on these. I have a pair of Soundpeats that are truly wireless that I bought on A to the Ma to the Zon that are fantastic. With tax they were $23. Much better battery life and each earbud can be used for calls.
Just saying, don’t waste your money on today’s meh deal.
@hurtsdonut Wow, I just looked em up. They have great reviews and are listed at $24. So they must have gone up in price a bit, however, no issues with discons while moving…someone even said he runs in these!?!
Holy crap, they just went up a dollar from when I started writing this to when I finished…they’re now at $25. Creepy ass greedy Bezos.
@RedOak My only gripe with the Soundpeats I bought is that the case doesn’t have a cover. The buds and case are magnetic so it hasn’t been an issue but I would definitely prefer a cover. I think the $32 set has a longer battery life. I listen to mine a few hours daily and have to recharge the case about 1/week.
Hope that helps!! And no, I do not get compensated for posting this, I just like the earbuds for the price (and I don’t want to see my fellow mediocre friends buy some random meh junk just because the price looks appealing at first glance).
Sorry meh, I already tried the rowkins and have got use to movement making them cut out. Time to upgrade so I can get my fatass off my computer and move to another location on this planet…you know, eventually.
Also…it took me 3 months before losing a bud. How long did your rowkins last before losing a bud or two? Everyone else still going strong or is it just me?
@goldnectar I still have both of mine but the fit is a bit snug so they don’t see very much use. I keep them in the charging case most of the time anyway.
Got my earbuds a couple of days ago and have noticed a few things.
If I shake the charger with the earbuds still firmly attached, the charge LED on one or both buds will light up along with the blue LED on the charger. I don’t know if there is supposed a motion sensor or if there’s just a loose connection somewhere, but this does not bode well for carrying around long term and still expecting it to have a charge when I need to use it.
There are no hooks on these, so they stay in purely by friction from the ear canal, which unfortunately for me with even the smallest cover is slightly too large, thus the buds are prone to fall out with much movement.
The volume is adequate, but the less than stellar fit means most of the low and high range is lost. This is fine for most calls and audio books, but not so good for music.
The mic being so far away means you’ll sound somewhat muffled to callers unless you speak really loudly or are in a very quite environment.
It isn’t a great or completely useless headset, but definitely earns its MEH status. I just hope it doesn’t migrate toward the useless direction with the random activation due to movement killing the batteries.
Received today the left side connected almost instantly on my Samsung, the right side is not charging, the red light goes out to show its fully charged but the minute I take it off the charger i get nothing, very disappointed here was hoping these were good quality and would show up as advertised, i contacted team Meh they always make it right just hate waiting another cpl weeks.
These are junk. I just got mine and they appear as 2 separate devices to my iPhone which will only play sound from one, or the other but not both. The manual is no help, there is no info online. These are utter trash.
So after buying these, I could only get a connection on one bud. I had an older S5… I bought a new phone and now, the battery won’t even charge! Junk!!!

Oh bud dy
They’re like butt plugs for your ears with the quality of things you’d put in your butt!
/giphy nice visual
@vinuash you should only put high quality things in your butt…
Like genuine pearl, Gucci leather handbags, and ming dynasty vases.

@vinuash Are you saying that these are shitty quality?
Nope nope and nope
No reviews on Amazon? Scary

Appreciate the effort of finding a link, @Kidsandliz. But those 5-star reviews read fake as hell. (But I’ll cop to being a cynic.)
@haydesigner I was more looking at all the negative reviews that are pretty consistent about the same kinds of problems.
@Bayamonprieto77 @Kidsandliz I am truly shocked at how generous some people are with stars when they were going to return the item. Why would you give a three star review if you weren’t going to keep it?
uh-oh. these look bad
Does it have a vibrating alert? Because it, um, looks like it should
Starry Night, damn you!
I thought Ideation meant something smart. Proves how Meh I am.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
OK why not,
/giphy dangling-blase-afternoon
Can I use just one for phone call? I don’t like plugging both ears while I’m driving. Do they both have microphone?
@katbyter intelligent questions are out of place here
@katbyter I’m guessing no. After looking through some reviews on HSN, a customer said only the left one can be used by itself.
@katbyter @RiotDemon I am left handed, so yeah for me.
@katbyter @RiotDemon That’s cool. I have hearing loss in my right ear, so I would only wear the left one. I’ve actually been looking at this one below, but I like the Iris case, so I might get these at Meh.

@walarney I’d have bought the kids one each…
But I’ve already overspent this pay period.
@OnionSoup @walarney One earbud each?

Thank me later
@galo4o I will thank you now and you will like it!
@galo4o @hurtsdonut that is later…
@galo4o Anyone else notice the pairing issues seem to be with iphones? If so, that wouldn’t be an issue for me.
Model: 34R-1-G0-4641N-0N-MY-0WN
A pun, a throwback to Whitesnake, and one muthafucka of an anagram… That’s a winner model number.
@shahnm The only anagram I see is 3141604040 GRNWYMNN which isn’t too terrible an approximation of pi, plus a decent onomatopoeia of the sound one makes while scarfing down a huge slice of pie.
@shahnm That’s also a winner of a song. One of my favorites from the 80’s. And a winner of a video, especially at 2:19.

@mellowirishgent
Most of the reviews I read point to two problems:
I took the plunge anyway. Battery seemed to be ok tbh.
@mellowirishgent
Is that a good thing?
OK, got it.
Meeeeehhhh huh

@hurtsdonut
Wow 2. And those positive ratings are spread across almost 1,200 reviews.
Just a few more referrals and the price will go up again from $25.
Wonder if the new model for $32 is a smart consider.
@RedOak My only gripe with the Soundpeats I bought is that the case doesn’t have a cover. The buds and case are magnetic so it hasn’t been an issue but I would definitely prefer a cover.

@splynncryth I had a pair like that before. You had to pair to a specific one and the second one would pair to the first.
These are not good. Charge does not last as long as advertised.
So after buying these, I could only get a connection on one bud. I had an older S5… I bought a new phone and now, the battery won’t even charge! Junk!!!
