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.

ARGH I HATED IT WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
i still cant be bothered to buy new ones because im not paying loads of money for a piece of white plastic, a bit of wire and an AppleMac logo. i went to the local musicstore and got some pink jellies for £3, and they work just as well. i dont understand why apple think they are superior enough to charge loads for everything, when it just breaks five minutes later. anyway, i also took my little brother's iPod headphones for a while anyway, he didn't notice. but then he did
