I feel like I just went from driving a loaded Rolls Royce to driving a Yugo

So I invested in this nice pair of earbuds for my iphone. Great sound quality, kept the outside noise away and was a reasonable price. A week later, while getting out of my car they fell out of my bag and into the street. I tried to stop the oncoming car but no luck - the car ran over them and smashed a bud.

The only thing I have now are these cheapy things my work gave away a few months ago that were tossed to the bottom of my desk drawer.

Oh the HORRORS

I'm trying to listen to a live version of "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails and poor Trent sounds like he's playing in a tiny tin can.

1. My dear LynneSin!

There's only one thing you can do:

Buy another good pair!

And maybe a carrying case so they don't fall out of your purse!

I'm sorry, sweetie...

2. Bad things happen in threes.

What the hell is next, LynneSin? Monday sucked. Did you at least get the Rolling Stone in the mail? Today you posted about black cats. I'm worried about you! Love Trent, btw.

4. Oh gawd maybe I should call a sick day tomorrow

Although technically the buds were busted on a Monday so maybe it was just a bad Monday

3. Get a good pair and listen to some GOOD music for a change

May I suggest today's DU Album of the Day?

5. What kind were the fancy ones?

I'd like to replace the cheap ones I have, but can't figure out which of the brazillion different brands are actually good.

6. MEElectronics makes a line of

good low priced headsets.

Just bought their Aif-Fi AF-32, very comfortable bluetooth/cord headphones. But their inner ear models are nice also.

I'll definitely check them out.

9. Were the earbuds for listening?

Or did they have a microphone for phone calls as well?

Anyway, you have my sympathy. I've had a favorite headset go bad, though not as dramatically as yours.
