fuckin headphones

god damn speaker in my 40 dollar headphones blew out after 4 months, and of course the warranty only covers 3 months. the exchange price for a refurbished model is 24 bucks and the repair cost is 45$.

i hate sony and i aint got no money to buy new ones

right now the left earbud just makes a heavy thumping noise, anyone have experience with trying to fix something like that?

werd i fucking hate disposable electronic garbage, never buying headphones that cost more than 15 bucks again because they always break

i googled it a bit and it said you can suck on it to pull back the speaker. it makes sense and after trying a few things i think it actually did help a little bit.

a wire got ripped out from my stanton head phones.
take them apart and open them up, the wire may be loose or completely ripped out (like in my case) you need to spot weld that wire back to its connector if this is the case. if not you need to find the same size speaker and swap out the old for the new (or used).

those big, sexy, amazing headphones are just that, but they're rather unwieldy to wear in public. not many chicks are gonna take you seriously if you're wearing those around your neck.

so I'm just trying to find something to blame my problems on.

Speaking of which, I don't get the rage among people I know with Skullcandy brand headphones. They willingly dish out like 40 for a pair of those.

They think they look cool. They also sound like shit from what I understand. AT's not so much so yours is kinda warranted hype.

Anyone that wouldn't talk or date me cause I had big headphones around my neck probably isn't anyone I'd be into anyway slap.

Ted. Koss KSC75's sound as good as waaay more expensive headphones and are no more than $15 at best. Sounds good and it's cheap enough it won't matter when and if they break, had mine for forever and no problems.

thats a good point. I had a boatload of skullcandies back in the day. pieces of shit. the left headphone would always go dead after the warranty ended.
