So my Ipod earphones, the one that comes originally when you buy a brand new Ipod, stopped working. So I decided to go to the Apple Store to replace my earphones. I asked the salesman there where can I get Ipod earphones, and he directed me to it. I saw it and grabbed a box of the Ipod earphones. To my surprise, I saw the price on it at $29.99. I mean seriously? I mean $30 ain't nothing to me, but for some cheap Ipod earphones to be charged that much is beyond ridiculous. I mean they don't even last long, and they fall off your ears easily. So I said f**k it, and decided to go to Best Buys, and I bought a pair of Phillips earphones which was half as expensive, and worked 5 times better than the Ipod earphones.

lol I'm using phillips earphones and they work so much better with my iPod. I lost my ipod earphones (which I fucked up anyway) a while ago, so yea I resorted to these. I actually had a pair of sony ones, but I think I lost that one too, so the phillips one I'm using right now are Tony's.
Apple usually overcharges anyways. I mean, seriously, the plastic film cover for the iPhone is overpriced, considering my boyfriend got a better quality one which I think he got for either the same price or less (with shipping). I even bought my macbook at my college because they had a better deal than the one at the apple store, and that's INCLUDING student discounts. |
