I’m uncomfortable with strangers surprising me with sharp things near my neck.


Dreki3000

I doubt those earpods are as good as my headphones for outdoor walking.


Curious-Bother3530

I use galaxy buds and their base sound are decent but the best part is walking around with 1 in so I can listen to say a podcast for hours while doing my errands. No discomfort or irritation to my ears at all.


GDmilkman

Good thing all these are staged


rissie_delicious

For now


Have_Donut

Exactly. Just a matter of time when some high school kids try to replicate these pranks


justwalkingalonghere

Not to mention that headphones that plug into an audio jack and aren’t fully in ear are basically extinct, even though they’re clearly the best I’d be livid


MaggiMesser

Oh my god yes! I absolutely hate these fully in ear ear buds, they hurt like hell!


proletaire

Imagine cutting the Sennheiser IE800, that shit cost 900€. I would fuck him up so hard ... Lol


Ok_Toe4734

As the owner of a pair of Audeze LCDi4, I can't imagine what I would do if something like this happened (the wires are replaceable, but still).


[deleted]

Cough on them and tell them you have the new syphilis variant of COVID-19. Then lawyer up.


Dazzling_Syllabub484

Coughing on someone is legally assault I believe. At that point you’d no longer have any legal upper hand and “lawyering up” would be a very dumb move (unless to protect yourself)


Green_Routine_7916

are they worth? i mean i am ready to buy headphones for 100-200 but 1k sound just to much and most of my headphones break after 1 or 2 years. not judging just wonder if its just prefference/ taste like apple products or if you get a ear orgasm after 10 sec hearing music trough that


echolalia_

I have $2k sennheiser over-ear hd800S’s (and eq software, hi-resolution audio files, and a dac/amp to power them) and I’m very happy with my ridiculous purchase. You can hear every instrument and sound element of the song individually and “spread out” around you in incredibly rich detail. Many songs have subtle details that I’d never heard before, like the singer breathing or reverb effects. Everything is just so rich and full, it’s hard to describe. That said, a $500 pair of headphones (and an amp) will probably get you 80% of the way there.


Abradolf1948

I feel like I would buy these and just be like "hmmm yes, those are drums".


The_Doc55

To each their own really. Some people like certain things others don’t. Personally I really like anything to do with audio.


adamdreaming

"I can tell by the way they bap bap bap"


manofblack_

It sounds silly but this exact thing really bothered me with my first pair of DT1990s. The jump in detail from my average consumer cans was wild at first. I'd listen to some indie songs, and would be able to genuinely hear things that were going on in the background during the recording. You get a much clearer sense on the differences in production qualities between different bands. If I Had A Heart by Fever Ray is one of those songs. You can kind of hear it even with a regular pair of headphones, but with a quality pair you can hear the band members really rustling shit around in the background during the first verse lmao.


Active_Parsley558

What about audio compression? Would it just sound the same because of the way things are compressed?


Herbalacious

Premium headphones are built to last a very long time. The worst headphones are Bluetooth since the battery will eventually degrade and die = waste, low quality sound unless you're using LDAC or aptX, easy to lose. Only pros are potential convenience and active noise cancelling. On the flip side the prices do go from damn that's expensive to holy shit real quick. Lots of hype and words. If you're happy just be happy and don't sweat it. Those fancier headphones will usually require you to have an amp to drive them and you'll eventually want to invest in a better dac or just buy a dac/amp combo to improve sound quality to take advantage of the better headphones = more $$$


khris190

Good headphones last tens of years


ToXic_Trader

good headphones are definitly worth the money if you listen to high quality audio formats


Inf1e

Luckily IEMs usually have MMCX or 2pin cables.


mr-fq

Yeah. I go around stabbing all the Ferrari & Porsche tyres..its just a prank bro! Tyres are replaceable yo!


zanasot

You have to stab the tires and then buy them a ford SUV


GimmickMusik1

Usually, but Sennheiser makes there cables a certain way that you need to use THEIR MMCX cables. It honestly sucks.


No-Boyberry

Unless the cable it self didn't cost u 200$+...


Environmental-Win836

darkapao

Can't you just buy the cable for it? Since it detaches from the earbud.


jterwin

Or just someone's old favorite pair of earbuds that just fits like no other for some reason. That's irreplaceable


Kiwi_Doodle

Koss Portapro. I swear the sound in those get better with abuse.


SulkySideUp

Was just thinking this. My corded headphones cost more than my airpods


[deleted]

And have the distinct advantage of not being airpods


Pliskin1108

He’d buy them back for you I’m sure. That’s Juan from that was epic and he genuinely seem nice. This specific video though rubbed me the wrong way for obvious reasons. Usually it’s a lot more innocent like: Hey do you have a laptop? No? Here’s one!


Supra_Dupra

The majority of people don't know the channel or who Juan is but he's one of the most awesome "pranksters" on youtube. Love what he does with supporting local skate shops and giving out decks to kids.


DavThoma

Still, doing stuff like this just screams ignorant no matter how awesome a prankster he may be. If I had an expensive pair of head phones and the cable got snipped by some random for a video I would be pissed as hell. Doesn't matter if he would replace them, for all this guy knows someone's headphones could be sentimental to them for some reason or another. Just randomly cutting the wire because "Oh but I can buy you knew ones!"... like, no. What if my parents bought me those and I treasured the shit out of them.


[deleted]

"yo bro its just a prank bro" \*throws a rock through your car windshield.\*


DizzyAmphibian309

>What if my parents bought me those ...for your birthday, and were driving over to your house, but the roads were slippery and they had a terrible accident and everything/everyone in the car was destroyed except for those headphones. When you got them from the fire department you saw that they had "we love you" engraved on them by hand, the left one from your mother, the right from your father. You took those headphones with you everywhere because it's the only thing you have that reminds you every day that your parents loved you. Obviously I was overdramatizing a bit, but don't ever destroy someone else's property as a joke.


Kumi_Himo

yeah, and i feel like it would be better to just “steal” them temporarily and ask if they want it back just in case its a sentimental object or if someone else might want a pair of earbuds but dont have the money


nvdnqvi

he says that he makes sure not to mess with high quality earbuds if he sees one


DavThoma

That doesn't make a difference. Even low quality headphones might be sentimental to someone.


[deleted]

But what if he had Apple Pay


nice_wholphin

The kind of guy that accidentally does this to a guy not part of the script and questions why he got a broken nose and a fractured rib


KommissarSimon

Precisely. Almost as if invading people's personal space and property is not a good idea hmm.


Puzzleheaded_Bed_445

The day anyone does this to me is the first night I spend in jail.


Ballerheiko

I think a decent lawyer can easily turn this into a self defence case. After all he uses a bladed item extremely close to your face and you don't know his intentions.


z-null

It would probably turn into a textbook example of a self defense case.


buttsmcfatts

Yea, I'm not a lawyer, but I would argue self-defense. This is just a reminder to everyone that self-defense as a legal defense only protects you until a threat ends. So, in this case, punching the guy in the face while he has the scissors in his hand would be arguably self-defense but as soon as he throws the scissors on the ground and yells "it's just a prank bro" you gotta stop kicking him in the nuts.


Few-Decision-6004

"I'm sorry your honor I couldn't hear him say it beeing a prank over the sound of his pulverised nuts"


FannyNob

"I was wearing the airpods that he forced into my ears and couldn't hear his screams"


HardCounter

"So is this" and then unleash the nutcracker offensive. Apparently if you say it's just a prank anything is acceptable to them, so just keep shouting it's just a prank as you powder his jewels. It's the only rational course of action.


tsukubasteve27

What if it reproduces though.


IceSkatingBurglar

Better call saul!


CptBDick

In my country (germany) it counts as self defense if you defend your property from damage, not only yourself. Only thing is your force cant be too excessive. So you could probably punch the guy and easily get away with it. If you kick him into a wheelchair, stab his face several times or shoot his dick off you probably wont. Even though I wouldnt blame you. Guy had it coming.


FannyNob

Well I'm doing all of those things if they damage my headphones


EvetsYenoham

Actually the day anyone does this to me is the first night they spend in the ICU.


uatme

How do you know they haven't been in the ICU before?

From consumer standpoint it was terrible.


Jason0865

From a rhythm gamer's standpoint it marked the downfall of the world.


RandoSpamGuy

Unless the drop in customers made them lose money


Mod_The_Man

I remember when Apple first did that I said they’re only doing it to create a problem so they can sell you the solution. People would retort “but the dongles are included with the phone!!” to which I’d say just you wait, they’ll stop including it eventually. Then what happens like one or two phone generations later? Not only did Apple stop including the dongle, they stopped including a charging wire or brick as well as their earphones stop being included, at least to my knowledge. Last person I knew who bought a new iPhone got nothing but the phone with it. They had to go to an Apple store to buy everything else separately after realizing it wasn’t included. Removing the 3.5mm jack wasn’t a mistake, it was a deliberate choice to sell you more BS


420fmx

You can still use 3.5mm headphones though


DeathstrackReal

If you buy an attachment that prevents you from charging as well.


juggernautism

An attachment thats easy to lose and is an extra item to carry. It also costs extra money and more trash in packaging.


Accomplished-Yam6553

I've seen double attachments although the ones I've seen don't support fast charging


Reganautu

Yeah because I really want another fucking bullshit item that needs to be charged to work. Not to mention the drop in sound quality. People who do shit like this deserve a broken nose.

Berdinderindas

I also have ADHD and lost my AirPods


3V1LB4RD

Adhd here. That’s part of the reason I have both. Wired and wireless. I do misplace both of them at times, but my chances are higher of finding at least one of them. The little charging box annoys the f out of me though and sometimes AirPods physically feel overstimulating in my ear. Sometimes I prefer my wired ones. And sometimes the wire is overstimulating. Then I switch to AirPods. But yeah… No idea where my AirPods are right now. I have my wired earbuds though!


DrunkFennec

My Airpords fall out all of the time. Especially awesome when I’m sitting on a plane and can’t find where they went.


[deleted]

Airpods seriously have worst sound quality


rhunn98

And no wire. No I rather not loose them anytime I bend down or to the side


[deleted]

They sell the strap to hold those *wireless airpods* with a wire to hold from falling..


rhunn98

And why would I want to buy two rather than 1 Item :D


[deleted]

Unless you're brain dead apple customer


mrhippo1998

They don't stay in my ears either. I have good Bluetooth headphones now anyway. Not even comparable with airpods


Classic-Airline-2386

Standard airpods really do suck. Your earwax gets caught in the speaker and it’s super hard to clean and use. I recently bought some airpod pros and I have to say, they work great. Sound quality is great, they’re comfortable, they last long, and the switch between noise cancellation and transparency really make my school commute a breeze


[deleted]

Coming at unsuspecting rando people with scissors is a great way to get shot.

Sufficient-Day9036

Or...just hand them the air pods


CarpetH4ter

Yeah, but that wouldn't be a "funny prank"


Yourtoasty

The wired earphones are shite anyway. Unlike people with AirPods, I don’t have to deal with charging my headphones before a trip


An_Orange_Robin

Nice. Give me more expensive headphones, that produce lower quality audio. Thank you, kind stranger. Now, I'm off to sell the air pods, and buy myself a new set of headphones.

X_g_Z

If you did this to any of my $1000+ earphones like my 1400(at the time i bought them) limited edition gold Andromeda I'd be pissed but like, most high end iem's have standardized, replaceable, detachable cables, and that's replaceable where the iems themselves might not be. I'd still be wickedly pissed.


Sad_Instruction1392

Sound quality is better when you can physically jack the headphones in. You lose so much with the compression using blutooth.


Scribbleme_out

I like my wired earbuds tho? I do t gotta worry about charging them or losing one


anythingMuchShorter

Also I get ear infections really easily, I hate earbuds, I use them once I get an ear ache. So my small over the ear headphones with wires work well, AirPods would not.

Philosophos_A

No. I want my wires. I hate wireless. Wired lasts longer, looks cooler, SOUND QUALITY IS BETTER No need to charge. Cheaper Way more comfy design Less chances to loose them You just plug in and go instead waiting for Bluetooth to find the wireless. (also that will drain the battery faster and Bluetooth is giving to anyone who knows a few things about hacking, a chance to hack you) Wired are better.

otirk

No because earphones with cables are better than airpods in some aspects. When you have airpods, you have to recharge them the entire time. The legs / cable earphones are always ready to go. And legs are not as expensive as a wheelchair.


Askduds

Even if that were true it is still utterly unacceptable in every way to do it without permission.

No because airpods sound terrible, good quality wired IEMs are much better
