R.I.P - Sony Headphones 2005-2008
May 27, 2008 Technology, me
Several years ago, a friend turned me on to some of the best headphones I have ever used. The Sony MDR-J10 headphones are the kind that has a “back part” that goes around the back of your ears. This is important because it prevents them from falling out of your ears while jogging. The sound quality is pretty good, and they are some of some of the sturdiest headphones I have used.
Well, I went to work out this morning, and the “left ear” was not working. If I moved the wire around, it would cut in and out, but even that eventually stopped working.
Keep in mind, these headphones have gotten a LOT of use over the last 3 years. A lot of sweat has run down the side of my head into the ear piece of them, and I am shocked they have lasted this long. It really saddens me to have to lay them to rest. O, the memories…
Anyway, if you want some good headphones for only $10, check out the Sony MDR-J10.

Awwhhhh……you look so sad. Maybe you should say some nice words over them before you chunk them into the garbage. Oh, wait; you did that already. I was paying attention, really. Hope your next pair give you just as much enjoyment.

I had my own private memorial service for them before burying them in the trash can under a banana peel. It’s a sad day around here.

As awesome as that would be, I think there is a company policy against putting electrical items in the microwave. I’m not sure, but I’ll check.

I break headphones alot, and I have gone through alot. I would have to recommend some skull candy replacements or sony earbuds.. they were cheap and they are still used on my ipod.
For home entertainment.. try razr barracuda 5.1 headphones.. I love them.
