    Default Earphones

    I just some new earbuds after reading on the packaging that they are "revolutionarily excellent in their sound producing endeavours" (may not be an accurate quotation) and they are a ****ing pile of gob shite. They don't even nearly fit into my normal sized ears.

    They're by Philips and I'm never going to touch another ****ing Philips product again - even if it means not getting in that CT scan that'll take a comprehensive image of my insides next time I die of cancer or get smushed by a train.

    They're not traditionally shaped and have a sort of rubbery funnel thing that's supposed to go inside your earholes, but they don't fit and so after a few minutes of pushing, forcing and generally abusing my aural organs the earbuds managaed to feel pretty secure. Of course by now my ear were bright red and sore.

    Switched on my trusty cheap pile of shit mp3 player and in the process of moving a few millimeters the earbuds fell out. Pushed them back in, this time with the mp3 player already switched on (trick me once shame on me, trick me twice ...). A few songs later and the rubbery funnels had managed to squeeze their way out and the left bud actually popped out of my ear.

    You'd of thought that Philips would have ****ing tested the earphones on people with real freaking ears - animal testing is useless. Even condoms are tested for the right fit, what's stopping Philips from ****ing about with product testing?

    £15.99 down the shitter, along with my DVD player and CT scanner ...

    :annoyed:

    Inner ear ones are all shite. Get yourself some decent Sony ones like these

    really comfortable and they won't fall out

    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
