Title: SATURDAY What Did You BUY
Post by: FatalT on December 02, 2007, 12:01:23 AM
I bought quite a bit today. I got massive deals on all these using my employee discount at work. If you want to know exactly how much I paid for these compared to the actual prices, just say something. I'm too lazy to go look at the receipt and compare everything right now, though.

Dynex sucks.  I bought their 25-pk dual layered discs and 1/3 of them became coasters.

They were only $10. That's like, $1 for 10 CD's.

Is Dynex the generic brand of Best Buy?  Like Kirland for Costco?

Yeah, you're right.
I have a Costco near me, and one of the things I want to do before I die is to go into a Costco and buy a big-ass jar of mayo. Just because I can.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to taking some pics with it.

I don't really like the Virtual Surround Sound ear phones because music sounds muffled and weird (probably because the earplugs are jammed into my ears) but I've actually never liked ear bud-type head phones. I really like the Ear Hook headphones though, they sound great and you don't have to worry about them coming out because they hook behind your ears. Could someone recommend me the best quality ear bud-type head phones from www.bestbuy.com ? I know the Bose are supposed to be amazing but those are like $100, however they'd probably be only $60 or so with the discount. I'm just not sure I'd like them, though. I want good sound quality (no muffled blah-ness) and I want them to stay in my ears.

That's probably actually too much to ask of an ear bud headphone and I should probably just stick with the ear hook ones because they're fine, but eh, y'never know.

I want to pick up some earphones that remove outside noise for when I go on the plane ride home this month.  Any recommendations?

I've got these, and they're pretty good. Sennheiser CX300:

Are those earbud-type headphones?  I can't wear earbuds. :/

Yeah, but they have three different size attachments and are not uncomfortable. They shove right into the canal and block out outside noise.
