Shit...muh earphones

[Demosthenes]

Wait! ipod earphones cost $40? Here I thought I was an ass for dropping about $100 on AKG k240s Stereophones! Seriously $40 earbuds?

[Ramor]

I think the cheapies they come with are like 15$~, the 40$ are those in-ear gel ones (I think anyway)

[AoE]

The quality of the IPOD earbuds aren't even that good in my opinion. Not with the music I listen to anyway.

[Norelco]

I say that's what you get for being one of those annoying fucktards that have to wear their headphones everywhere they go.

does the music you listen to ejaculate gold into your ears with special earbuds?

[Rocl]

Am I the only one who can't stand ear buds? 10 min with a pair in my ears and they're aching like all hell.

This thread reminds me that I need a new PC headset though. The kind that wraps around the back of the head instead of over the top!

How can you not like earbuds and like headsets that go around the back of your head. SINNER

seriously, the ones that go around the back of your head fuck up the top of my ears.

lol why didn't you just take your earbuds out before you went to pee?

It ejaculates my opinion of good music into my ear which is worth more than gold (Well maybe not so much anymore with the way the economy's going). The ones that ejaculate gold are in some obscure African country where most of us'll never go just because it's Africa.

[Opie]

i'm curious, what does the chemical reaction do lol?

[Lliandra]

I don't know what its like where you are, but in the UK if your official ipod earphones go funny, you can apply for a free brand new pair from Apple themselves. Done it myself a few year back.

Might be worth registering your Ipod on their website and filing a malfunction. Can't hurt can it!

Just don't tell them they fell in piss...

[bebeci]

Same here. I got a new pair of iPod earbuds, and all I had to do was return my broken old ones.
Apple is really good in their customer services.

[Doofus]

Quit being cheap and get these

Ok so I was listening to my iPod and I have to go pee. So I go to the bathroom and as I'm peeing my iPod eardphone slips out of my ear pulling the other one out as it falls. One of them lands in the toilet bowl as I'm peeing. After cleaning it off, the sound still sounds fine. Other then the obvious "ewwwww urine on you earphone" problem can anything damaging of happened inside of it? I'm going to be pissed if I have to drop like $40 for a new pair...

Wait wait wait... let me get this straight. Your willing to drop $40.00 for some "trendy" earbuds from Apple when you can get a much higher quality pair for significantly less? Apple's business plan must be making them a fortune.

It releases Chlorine gas, basically the gas they used in the World Wars to wipe out huge amounts of soldiers... Its pretty dangerous stuff.

I wouldn't be worried about that reaction in this situation (Bleach + Ammonium) but it can be deadly in small quantities... That being said, the quantities here are still pretty small. More than once I've gone to take a piss as a kid when my mom had just cleaned the toilet bowl with bleach (and hadn't flushed it yet) and you see the bubbling / hear the fizzing / smell the smell that makes your nose burn, and you can pretty much finish up, flush, go on about your daily business and be fine... But if you were to hang around in a closed space like that, you could fuck up your lungs / your life. There's actually a book out there (A Man Named Dave, I believe) where the guy tells about his child abuse from his mother, and that was one of her tortures; she'd mix ammonia / bleach in the toilet bowl and lock him in the bathroom. Very not cool

peroxide or alcohol, bleach may have adverse effects.

For the most part, you can drench most anything in water and then flush it with alcohol and be safe, assuming it doesn't have power to it. The water will clean, the alcohol will wash the water off and alcohol evaporates pretty damn quick, leaving it clean and dry. People freak out when you mention dipping expensive electronics in water, but so long as its not plugged in / there's no capacitors etc inside that still provide power, you're good to go. Power can't jump circuits and screw stuff up if there's no power to it. This is your #1 option!

Elphaba, quite the captain negative aren't ya?

My point is, if hes at a loss anyway, why not give it a go? I didn't have to send mine back. I reported the fault, they said ok whatever and posted me a new pair. So no, he won't get charged for anything. Unless your nearest Apple repair center is full of jerks.

Give it a go m8. Free earphones are good!

[Ramor]

a lot can happen in a day?

[Jotaru]

Like breaking it. Most warranties don't cover 'being a dumbass and breaking yer shit'

[Norelco]

No, i work at an apple store, and the amount of shit people try to pull is astounding.

Kid comes in, says he got the ipodless than 24 hours ago, and the screen is completely fucked.

How is it fucked if he already loaded the music on it, and it's obviously been stepped on?

foo.

I guess the screen can't break after you load songs onto it. Only before, right?
