@YourLazyButt like 2 buttons on each one so 4 buttons? or just 1 on each for 2 total buttons? And then you say “about” 2 buttons, so who even knows? WHAT IS YOUR SIGMA OF CERTAINTY!?!?! THIS IS WAY TOO COMPLICATED!
Hyperbole aside, I do get annoyed with bluetooth connections. Even today, new cars are not consistent in their bluetooth behavior, requiring you to disable and re-enable bluetooth on the device in order for it to pair, although all along it’ll say “pairing…” and then you’re like, “okay cool, I’ll just wait” and then 20 minutes later you’re at your destination and you’re like “where’s mah tunez?”
They* also say “wooder” for “water” and “nem” do “them” and “yous” for “you” and “SEAR up” for “syrup” and “iggles” for “eagles.” And “hoagie” for “hoagie.”
(*They are my parents and me before college, when I realized I had an accent and no one knew what jawn meant.)
@00 I grew up in northern NJ, and I’m guilty of wud-er and Are-ang (for the fruit that’s also a color). Also I didn’t know there was another way of pronouncing sear-up. My wife tells me I say “how’s you” a lot, but I don’t really notice that other people don’t also say it.
Where in philly are you from? My family is from there, lots still living there.
@PantHeist@00 I make a conscientious effort to say ‘water’ correctly, I pronounce it ‘Eagles’ and I’ve never actually used ‘jawn’ as a spoken word. Then again, I’m from the suburbs (minus the miserable 3 years I lived in NE Philly) so I think I’m excused. Yet I’ve still had people on the phone from other parts of the country ask if I’m from Philly. Makes me wonder what it is they’re hearing.
@00 Omigosh! I’m dating someone originally from philly right now and they make a conscious effort to not say things in stereotypical inner city philly dialect. I tried to say “jawn” and was told my pronunciation was still off
@hpph haha. My wife can’t say “jawn” right either. It needs to be said with the least effort possible. Like you’re stifling a yawn when you say it. But it doesn’t quite rhyme with “yawn.”
My impulse is always to get the cheap headphones. But then I remember that, in part thanks to Meh, I already have every kind of headphone I could possibly want. And a dozen headphones I don’t want.
That might be the one gas station in Bethesda that I have never bought gas in. Then again, the number of gas stations in Bethesda seems to have dropped by half in the last couple of years so I might end up there after all.
Wow, another mealy-arsed no name junkfest on Meh. So meh. You can find these at places like Marshalls for $20 closeout. Not worth that, honestly.
The only people who will be sucked in by the appeal of this set will be people who want a big box to give someone as a present and aren’t concerned whether what’s inside has any real value. Or if you’re going to give them to a non-discerning little kid or your dad who’s hard of hearing.
@TAsunder Nope, I’m saying that Marshalls sells it for $20 and it’s not worth that. Honestly, it’s a box of crap, the real one, not the Woot one. But maybe “worth” $9 for gift exchanges.
The text alert from my credit card getting hit is still ringing and already I have buyer’s remorse.
There’s no way in hell I’d buy this crap if I weren’t caught up in this legacy VMP thing. But it’s the first thing in a couple months that even crept up to the line of buy/no-buy. (Members of household believe headphone/earbud cords are designed to be wrapped up around vacuum cleaner rollers.)
Do you think there’s a chance in hell these headphones could be a pleasant surprise like those 8 buck 808 headphones? (Could it be karma that those 808’s were sold almost exactly to the day, two years ago)
But when I do, it is about the craziest drivers in the US. And that includes NYC. In NYC, you assume everybody drives insanely aggressively. In Boston they’re simply crazy inconsistent-unpredictable.
In for 3 for presents for the gf’s nieces/nephew. They don’t give a shit about quality and I don’t give a shit about giving them quality.

Boston proper is the size of a postage stamp. Greater Boston, which Stretches north to Cambridge and south to Hyde Park, and west to Waltham, is still tiny, but has a population of four and a half million, something like the sixth largest metro area in the USA.
I’m in. I go through ear buds at the gym like crazy, so the price is right. I need headphones at work that I don’t care if they get stolen. 70+% of the Amazon reviews were 4 star or above for this product at $25, and the bad reviews seemed focused on the blue tooth speaker which I don’t care about as I don’t use the better ones I have.
Boston is outsized because of first mover effect. Think Jamestown, Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts Bay Company, Harvard, Tea Party, Lexington and Concord, Shay’s Rebellion, Adams 1, Adams 2, Women’s Sufferage, Basketball, Subways, Motorized Fire Engines, MIT, The Kennedys, etc.
Totally on the fence about this. I tend not to use headphones or even the Bluetooth speakers I have. But the price is amazing. Worse yet, not even sure I could successfully give them as a gift. Hmmmm

I am such a sucker for cheap stuff , (divine-ecstatic-vacation).I have so many boxes of your phone/headphones that I’ve never opened and yet I still continue to buy. So who said A fool and his money Will soon part ways??? I think the only way to break this hellish vicious cycle is for two things to happen #1 it’s for me to run out of money #2 is for me to keep on buying at such a pace that I will eventually run out of room in my house and there will be an intervention and I will be on The TV On a future hoarders episode…anyway I remember the first day I ever found out about his little site ( January 23, 2016 the day after my birthday ) I was in Hawaii vacationing with my buddies that have a house on the North Shore of Ohua Hawaii and instead of getting some sleep like everybody else was for the next day of surfing really big waves at Waimea I started surfing on my laptop ( The wrong kind of surfing when you’re in Hawaii ) and came across this strange little site and they were already sold out I think it was a laptop bag so I started reading, fast forward a year and a month or so later and look at the predicament I’m in now…
@bigtom67
Its better to b a sucker for cheap sh*

Just try 2 give urself limits to ur cheapchit binges…
I do this it the dollar stores.
Such as no buying nore than 2 of one thing (unless 4 predetermined gifts…)
or no more than 35 things… Including multiples. U c where im going w it?
Im trying to graduate kinderhoarding
Then every so often buy an apple product to confuse the watching labelers of society. Ha
Bought it. Might as well. The earbuds I have at work right now literally shock me every time I stand up with them in. I try not to, but sometimes I just need to grab something out of reach. Hopefully these ones don’t have the same effect.
Got mine today. The over the ear headphones aren’t great, but not too bad for the price point, especially if you consider each item 1/3 of the price. The speaker is shit though, even at 1/3, or $3, but maybe I’ve been spoiled by the many X-Minis I’ve got from Meh for a similar item.
Did not find this kit to be a pleasant surprise. It is crap. It goes into the “not worried about it getting abused” box.
Headphones - muddy sound even if they do have some bass capability.
Ear buds - not a fan of putting objects in my ears, but these at least exhibit some crisp notes relative to the headphones even if the sound still isn’t great.
The wired speaker lump - pretty much total crap in every way, especially the oddball propietary mini USB connector cable that is required even to connect the sound source.
@RedOak
I came back to see if others agreed that these are shit.
The buds aren’t too bad. They don’t fit well if the wire is hanging down, but if I put the wire behind my ear, they seal nicely. I tested them with some Black Keys.
What I want to do is put the speaker from the lump into the headset…

Excuse me, but Boston (the conurbation) is #6 and ahead of anywhere in (ahem) Texas.
@njd But what state is that in? Since the pop of greater DFW (not including the Okla parts) is more than the state of Mass.
Oh, you say it actually takes 4 states to make up that total. Well… OK, then.
@2many2no Come on, you can cross three state boundaries within New England and be under the distance DFW people will drive to try a new burrito place
@njd But they do manage to pass 6 other burrito places on the way.
Awww man! Name of tonight’s item led me to believe that there would be songs by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth.
Wow, that sounds like a mess.
I got this because it has been far too long for me to be outraged by the crappy ear buds sold by meh.
/image poochie
Meh, but need over-the-ear headphones for open-office distraction. I like the cheap price so I don’t care if they get wrecked or stolen.
Waiting for refurb oldymium version.
Dropped a deuce earlier today. I’m good.
@mike808 ummm… thanks for sharing. Did this help?
Here’s a corny-ass review on YouTube:
@fakhourydn I don’t want to live in this world.
@fakhourydn Wow. I did not realize the box was so big.
@fakhourydn “Bluetooth is too complicated for me”. Really? How hard is it to press about two buttons on two devices?
@fakhourydn Why do I want to punch this guy so bad?!!!
@YourLazyButt like 2 buttons on each one so 4 buttons? or just 1 on each for 2 total buttons? And then you say “about” 2 buttons, so who even knows? WHAT IS YOUR SIGMA OF CERTAINTY!?!?! THIS IS WAY TOO COMPLICATED!

@Pamela It’s a trick of perspective.
Actually, the people are very small.
@fakhourydn
So there’s that.
@westownsend Stop buy cheaply made cars
This deal is pissah.
@curtisl42 Agree. This deal sucks wicked hard. Like your mom.
Hear meh hear meh–
What is even shitter than a bluetooth speaker? A proprietary audio jack speaker with no bluetooth.
Mini? What year was this made?!?
@narfcake
Bought a Bluetooth speaker Nov 13, 2014. First thing I noticed was that it uses a Mini USB.
I got a different Bluetooth speaker which uses Micro USB. However, I barely use it compared to the first one I mentioned.
@narfcake we always have a mini USB cable plugged into our photo PC. (Not so new) Canon T2i DSLR camera.

In Philly, they say “jawn,” which means “thing.”
They* also say “wooder” for “water” and “nem” do “them” and “yous” for “you” and “SEAR up” for “syrup” and “iggles” for “eagles.” And “hoagie” for “hoagie.”
(*They are my parents and me before college, when I realized I had an accent and no one knew what jawn meant.)

@PantHeist I grew up in Ambler, in the suburbs to the north.
@hpph haha. My wife can’t say “jawn” right either. It needs to be said with the least effort possible. Like you’re stifling a yawn when you say it. But it doesn’t quite rhyme with “yawn.”
@00 Ah cool- my mom’s side is from havertown, but they’ve all moved at this point. Most of my dad’s side is still in west philly.
How about a nice treatment center there bub? And I hate that word bub. The 12 year old that shovels my sidewalk would even roll his eyes.
Maybe I’ll give it to a brother for a birthday or white elephant is in 9 months or… aw whatever it’s $9 for 5 things and a cool box.

I’m running low on earbuds. I’m in.
As someone with firsthand knowledge, let me tell you that the Sunoco station in Bethesda doesn’t deserve an homage. That kills this deal for me.
Where’s the baby arm?? We demand a baby arm!
That might be the one gas station in Bethesda that I have never bought gas in. Then again, the number of gas stations in Bethesda seems to have dropped by half in the last couple of years so I might end up there after all.
@cf1 I lived in Bethesda for a year and bought gas at that gas station multiple times.
Wicked? nah, These are queer
@Bumplepimp wired audio equipment is still used by people with headphones jacks. Not weird at all.
At first I thought this was Wylde audio which is owned by zakk Wylde.
So…No thanks, maybe if it was zakks company but definitely not a knockoff one

@KwadGuy So you are saying this $9 box is worth as much as $20? What a deal!
@TAsunder Nope, I’m saying that Marshalls sells it for $20 and it’s not worth that. Honestly, it’s a box of crap, the real one, not the Woot one. But maybe “worth” $9 for gift exchanges.
@KwadGuy Lots of opinion there. So you’re saying you have seen and heard these?
They might be crap but how would you personally know Meh sells crap since you’ve bought nothing in the hundred days you’ve been here?
