Most who know me know that I love technology. iPods (hmm dating myself with that one huh?), tablets, PC's, Macs - I have been and still am on both sides of the Android/iPhone debate. Recently - well a little bit ago - I jumped over to the Apple world as far as phones. I had been rocking in the "Galaxy" for years...but suddenly things began changing. No, not with "Galaxy" but in my life (address, job...) so I figured this would be as good a time as any to make some more changes - changes that I implemented. So I switched to the iPhone. Took some getting used to but I'm pretty happy with my choice. Plus, now I could get my hands (ears) on the earpods. Now this was right at Black Friday so I'm like "SWEET"! New tech for me ANNNNDDDD holiday discounts!
Well apparently everybody - NO LITERALLY EVERYBODY - had the exact same idea. Black Friday came and went and I was still rocking the same wired headphones that came with my phone. Why? Because EVERYWHERE I went was sold out! Every tech store, phone distributor, gadget shop - not one set of earpods to be found. Ok fine...figured I'd ask Santa (don't judge me, LOL)
Christmas morning finally arrived annnnd nope. They were not under the tree that morning.I couldn't believe it! I'd been an especially good girl (LOL). The only thing that could have happened was they were still sold out. Those tiny while pieces of tech that I just couldn't wait to get my hands, I mean ears on were nowhere to be found. Santa? Oh he tried...he actually left ME a note explaining how he couldn't find any either and his workshop was out, too. He did promise that he would get me a pair next Christmas. Yeah, serious huh?
So I put a pin in the hunt for the illusive and super popular headphones but I still wanted a set of wireless earbuds. i did some researching, asking opinions, taking surveys - (hey it was THAT serious) and decided on the Jlab earbuds. One great thing about them is that they are not super pricey. Plus, they have great packaging, instructions on use, pairing, charging and came with this sleek charging case. The earbuds charge in the case! Nice! The case itself also has a built in charging port that you can plug into your PC. I'm thinking I'm winning! I can shop, walk around, run on the treadmill (yeah right) without being entangled in headphone wires. It's wonderful, freeing...well it was...until they stopped working.
Not both of them just one stopped working...well not completely. It no longer pairs to the other earbud and I get no sound out of it when used by itself...except to say "GOODBYE" for some reason. UGH! Frustrated to say the least. Good thing I purchased the protection/replacement plan for these earbuds. Otherwise, I might have to find Santa and have him make good on his promise for a set of airpods a bit earlier than next Christmas.
