No! The horror!

Posted by WadeFulp - September 27th, 2008


Well, the other day it happened, my big dorky wireless headphones broken beyond repair. Well, at least beyond my repair, or beyond what I'm willing to try and fix. If anyone has seen me on cam on Paltalk you may have seen me wearing these giant cans on my ears. I've had them for years now, use them pretty much everyday. They allow me to listen to all the horrid things on Newgrounds, Opie and Anthony, XBL, etc, while not allowing my family (kids) to hear. I patch my XM radio into them, my computer's output, my TV's output, XBOX output, etc. Over the years they have broken from time to time and I have been able to super glue the broken plastic parts back together. The other day however they broke again, but this time the wires got snapped. I was rushing to the phone and sat them down. Probably when I tore them off my head I cracked them where they were previously broken and killed them. At first I was going to solder the wires back together, but soon realized there were very thin individual wires inside the casing of what I thought was a single wire. These wires are so fine and thinly shielded I didn't bother trying to repair them.

Considering I use these on a daily basis I needed to replace them, even though right now money is tight. So I went looking for the same pair, but Best Buy no longer carried them, even though I saw them still there within the past year. So I found a pair of Sony's that are similar, hopefully they'll work out as well or better.

RIP giant dorkey wireless headphones.

No! The horror!

I'm sorry for your loss.

I have the sony ones. I like them.

You should have better luck with the Sony ones cause they're newer but new stuff these days are cheap and crappy so who knows?

The Sony's I got suck, compare to the Acoustic Research ones I had. I'm having trouble finding the pair I had new, but found what looks like a newer version for a pretty decent price, cheaper than these Sonys. I ordered them and hope they are better than these Sony's. The Sony's sound like crap and have a lot of hiss.

Heh,I could fix that for ya'

NO NOT THE HEADPHONES!!!!

I have those exact same headphones and they are great. I can walk to the otherside of my house and they still get great reception.

sorry, wade :C

I had a large pair of headphones much like those which I used often because of their excellent quality. Then they were left on the ground and my rabbit chewed through the wires... now I have crappy earbuds. I ought to buy a new pair of those, they were fantastic

may we mourn for the lost souls of head phones that every newgrounder had
especially wadey's headphones
in tradition of mourning we must do something special
to the pub to get drunk

NOW YOUR KIDS HAVE TO HEAR THE GAYNESS IN THE PALTALK CHATROOM! :C

Ohes Noes! Get New ones.

My sympathies dude...but have patients

A replacement might not come right away.

But

"though what you previously held dear might be gone forever...material things can ALWAYS be replaced. There may always be a 'pot of gold' around the next courner of the years to make up for the 'single' shilling you once held dear."

I'm sure you'll get your Headphones again...even though money may be tight NOW...I'm sure something will come up later ^^

Suck it up man! Life goes on so stop being a little bitch about it! (I did not mean to be so crule but really get over it)

Giant headphones are definately not dorky. I just keep the one pair plugged to my computer all the time (exception: road trips) and I've just got normal earbud ones for transportation. But they're good quality, durable, and excellent for making musics. I'd be sad if my headphones died, but I've got some speakers waiting for me a few months down the track.

thats bad!

bummer

OMG!
New headphones will cost much less . . .

those look like they were so comfortable.
RIP :(

R.I.P
Wade's Headset... :'(

In that case I also use my nokia headphones, and then, when I get money, I just buy new...
btw: don't waste ur money on an expensive headphones, using cheap headphones normally will get them to live as long as expensive does.
sry for mistakes :P but I hope U understood what I meaned

lets have a moment of silence for wade's busted headphones.
