Mission: The perfect headphones.
Finding headphones is a little frustrating.
The only comparison I can make between the number of headphones/earbuds I have been through is to boyfriends. Some relationships ended with an upgrade at the end, and others ended a bit more tragically (take for example the death of my SkullCandy TI’s on Friday).
As of late, the boyfriend side is going well (2/14 update), but the headphone side is lacking. Hopefully the past doesn’t dictate the future…
Therefore, I’ve been updating all of my communications outlets, looking for advice, as well as searching through bestseller lists and reviews on Amazon. It’s really frustrating, because where can you really “test drive” headphones (bose doesn’t count in this category).
Seriously though, I’ve been having trouble in this aspect of my techy life (see chart.)
| Headphone Type | Cause of Death |
| Bose In-Ear Headphones | Stolen via Syracuse Computer Lab. |
| Skullcandy In-Ear Headphones | Couldn’t handle my lifestyle. Died. |
| SkullCandy TI’s (Pink) | Same issue. Just couldn’t keep up. |
| Apple Earbuds (standard) | Washer/Dryer combo (no good!) |
| Cheap pink headphones from the airport. | Stable/Alive |
Why is it that the cheapest pair of headphones are the only ones surviving!?
So, what I’m really looking for is some help. I’m evaluating Shure’s headphone options, but can’t seem to decide on anything yet. So, this mission, should (I) choose to accept it, is to find a pair of headphones.
