Holy Crap!

Postby Qwedgeonline » Thu Jan 01, 2009 7:22 pm

From Apple.com
The new Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic are engineered for superior acoustic accuracy, balance, and clarity. So you hear details you’ve been missing with other, lesser headphones. And the biggest breakthrough? They’re just $79.


Only $79?!?!? Thats friggin' expensive!!! The old ear buds that they make were only $29! I'm pretty sure the only difference is the sound quality and look. now.... DISCUSS!!
Can we get this forum going again?

Yeah, $79. And you have to buy a $100 one-year subscription to something, more likely than not.

One of my friends got a pair of those. The Zune Premium Headphones sound better IMO. And they're only $40.00

Those big headphones beat any earbuds. Cheap $15 ones sound better than any earbud I've used.

That's nothing. I got a pair of $120 headphones for my birthday once. You know what was wrong with them? Solid gold contacts.

And lost in a week.

I've bought 3 headphones, 30€ squeeze-this-huge-thing-in-your-ear -things, which are awful, some basic 20€ headphones which were okay until they broke and some cheap copy crap 10€ headphones which are great, the wire is just a bit too short. Conclusion: Buy cheap headphones.
