yeah, im going to buy a 150$ pair or earbuds..........every pair i ever owned lasted for 6-8 weeks, because at the gym the cable always gets looped over one of the machines and pulled pulled apart or crushed under a dumbell................. .......but i have no doubt i will see all the "ethnic" kids around where i live sporting them, as they walk back to their governmentpaid housing an d eat a meal purchased with food stamps.
