Title: I'm sad. :<

I'm pretty sure I need new headphones now. The bass just completely disappeared from the right side of the ones I've got and now everything sounds unbalanced and generally terrible. I can't afford new headphones right now, having just spent over $70 on the Collector's Edition of Fallout: New Vegas, even if another pair like I've got would only cost $30. And all I can use in their place are the earbuds I got with my iPod Nano back in 2006, and those are crap. Sound quality is noticeably inferior, bass is poor, and they make a constant hissing sound just being plugged in, plus they're not that comfortable.

Hugs? ;_;

I feel your pain, my headphones died pretty recently too.  They were only, like, $35, but they're still awesome and I miss them terribly.

I've been playing with my iPod earbuds for the past few hours now and I already miss my PortaPros. The difference is astounding -- these earbuds are TERRIBLE. Like, imagine watching a Blu-Ray disc on a big ol' 52" 1080p HDTV. Now imagine watching the same movie on a 17" CRT from 1976. That's how big of a difference there is.

This couldn't have happened at a much worse time. I'm pretty deeply in debt as it is, I have other things I still need to pay for, I just spent a bit over $70 on the New Vegas collector's edition, and now this? Ugh. /wrists

*hug* It's okay, man. You'll get new ones later. =3 And then you can enjoy the highest sound quality all you want!

Yeah, every headphones I come into contact with suck as well.  They just don't like me.  I try not to use them.
