One night I was up late practicing my hip hop dance skills with my Roxy/ JBL earbuds (more like a goofy attempt to recreate what my dance instructor showed me the day before) and all the sudden one side of the earbuds went out. At first I thought; “oh no after several years of listening to music on full blast (plus being in a mosh pit at some major concerts) I have blown one ear drum out.” EEK!
In a Zoolander attempt (the sound is IN the earbuds?!) I took them out and somewhat ”tapped” them a couple times to see if maybe my attempt would in fact make the earbuds work. I also did the classic reboot of my shuffle and worked with the cable to see if it was a “Nina” error.
It didn’t work. To be fair I did accidentally immerse the poor ear buds in “water” a couple months before and they still did work…and for a while I might add. The night they went out I shuffled (get it?!) for my IPod earbuds and became even more disappointed. On top of the fact the IPod earbuds are ill fitting (they may be stretching my ears out); I actually have to switch the right and the left to get mediocre noise quality and bass at a decent (not great) level.
I quit my dance routine that night perturbed and sad. I loved my Pink Roxy/ JBLs earbuds plus they were the perfect fashion accessory! I know I am wreck-less but I truly hoped I had saved them…which I didn’t. The bass and sound quality were amazing on them but alas I found a way to break them…damn! Apparently the fact I am a clumsey does not uphold to technology and neither does immersing technology in “water”.
I am particular with my earbuds. They need to be small, fit comfortably and have superior noise quality (especially great bass). I am not a huge fan of the silicon ear pads however I am going to test some out again; two times a charm? They just honestly remind me of getting a wet willy and frankly I was a bully’s dream when I was younger (flashbacks of recess come to mind).
I have contacted some industry folks and they are sending me a few new earbuds to test out. Stay tuned for my review cutegeek fans! I will find my perfect earbuds!
Now when you put quotes around water several times, do you really mean it wasn’t water but something MUCH MUCH worse? Now you have to tell the whole, real story.
LOL we are a family website so I shall stick with the quotes:-)! Lets just say it had a high amount of sugar! Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for the review Maya!!!
