Wrote them a shitty review then noticed there was an equalizer button, so pulled them out again and gave the three EQ modes a go. They were all shit. Like these were $20 headphones so I know not to expect miracles but fuck me they sounded Way Way Worse than I expected

different headphones showed up, they had FOUR BUTTONS for forward/back/volumeUp/volumeDown and unfortunately one capacitive sensor for pause/play, the closest I've found yet to sensible headphone controls, but the sound quality was absolutely appalling, worse than you'd get given for free on a […]

Perfect little three-act play that

@hannah Has he reached that interesting age yet where he forgets how to sleep and you have to teach him all over again how to sleep and he's not happy about it and neither are you

Boosting my own toots 'cause someone went through my back catalogue and boosted one I don't remember writing At All and I'm wondering what the hell else was going on that day that I wouldn't remember it

PUT A FUCKING VOLUME KNOB, a REAL VOLUME KNOB, let us hear it CRACKLE and POP until we TAKE IT APART and CLEAN it, we have a need to periodically maintain and care for things, maintenance-free switches ROB us of the opportunity to fulfil this basic human need in a newbie-friendly non-threatening […]

That's where the Gen Z Stare comes from, it's from shit headphones

@ifixcoinops.retro.social.ap.brid.gyOct 8, 2026, 10:24 PM

Also, you know what, my old headphones have a power switch. Off, on, on with noise cancelling. If someone comes up and does a friendly/solicitous upward head tilt, I reach up and flick the switch and hello at them, it's done before I'm even done with my own here's-my-chin headtilt. Some of […]

@ifixcoinops.retro.social.ap.brid.gyOct 8, 2026, 9:49 PM

Anyway I ended up reading a LOT of manuals for headphones and wtf is up with that bizarre button behaviour Volume up and skip 30 seconds of adverts being on the same button is already Dickensian street urchin levels of Please Sir May I Have One More Input but fuck me, lads, you OBVIOUSLY want […]

Remember I was bitching about my cheap headphones that work fine and are just kinda falling apart and ugly, well they started having charging problems so I was like YES FINALLY I CAN JUSTIFY BUYING A NEW PAIR and then I went all around trying to find a pair that had comparable features and […]

@tael I mean I for one would quite enjoy being able to post long threads that other people can read but you do you I guess

When your dad's had a spare couple of hours recently and you're bimbling along in the car and he theatrically wipes his brow and goes "Hmm, it's hot in here, think I'll wind the window down" and then he winds the window down ALL THE WAY and you sit there like 😮 and he looks over to you all 😉 and […]

[AI, grim] Not to mention the regrets these fathers are gonna have, like remember Elon's sockpuppet account on twitter telling himself what a great dad he was, that's these guys' future
