Please god give me some ipod facts i NEED this

ok admittedly im not THAT insane abt ipods yet (but give me a month or two and i might be) but im kindasorta getting into collecting them so i wanna talk abt the little bit ive learned from that

i started out looking for gen 4 nanos bc i had an orange one as a kid (which i tried to get back from my parents but apparently they threw it away. rip) i wound up getting this listing for two ipods- one silver nano and one pink shuffle, bc they were dirt cheap overall BUT the seller v clearly didnt know anything abt ipods so it was a gamble

the nano worked! but only when plugged in cuz i guess the battery's too old. which is a shame bc it's otherwise in perfect condition, it's not even scratched anywhere. the shuffle worked even better, but it was pink and that's like the one color i didnt want an ipod in lmao. i named it breakfast bc it's pink and then i immediately got attached to it lmao

i wound up sending breakfast to packtion since they wanted to try an ipod too, and also bc i had ordered a second nano already dkfghk. this one works near perfectly (the hold switch is kinda busted but whatever) AND it's purple. which is my favorite color but it's also specifically my favorite ipod nano color bc depending on the lighting it can often look more blue than purple and i think that's a sick optical illusion. this one is named nova, and it's become my go-to for music listening now. i havent named the silver one bc im hoping i can sell it but nobody seems interested in my broken ass son sadly lol

anyway here's all 3 of them. family photo

ok now here's a fun fact for you since you read this far. apparently the ipod nano is like The Worst ipod to collect, especially gen 4 dkfhgk it's mostly because nanos are extremely hard to mod/repair given how small they are, so a lot of issues that can spring up w age aren't considered worth the effort to fix. this means if you have an ipod that's busted, it's an uphill battle to get it fixed, and also if you're searching for one online you have to keep an eye out for signs it might be broken. also since theyre so tiny if the battery inside swells even a tiny bit the screen starts getting fucked up bc it's already pressing against it lmao. sickly ass devices but theyre adorable so im gonna buy 80 more of them

Wireless headphones are a fucking joke.

I have wireless headphones. But I specifically looked for ones that could be plugged in (no thanks to the dumbass sales person who said they don't have them in the store cause they're rare. when they literally did and they're not).

And you think they sound good. Until you plug them in and suddenly you're like 'oh'. Fucking night and day difference. Don't give into the anti wire propaganda.

How does Bluetooth Work

A ton of your devices use Bluetooth to communicate wirelessly. But how does Bluetooth work? In this video, we'll dive into the details of how your smartphone sends audio to your wireless headphones. Bluetooth is rather complicated and thus we're going to use a number of analogies and tools to explain it fully.

Like the most annoying thing about "wireless" headphones is that you can't even use them while they're charging in most cases????

[gayjermamexico]

why is bluetooth the most inconvenient and annoying thing in existence like ok heres a product that will give a hard time no matter what company you purchase from and also we added a bunch of little buttons and functions that will just irritate you bc they’ll activate when you dont want them to and when u do wanna use them they just wont work yaaayyy❤️❤️❤️

"use these wireless bluetooth headphones"

i like wired because theres no lag. also i always lose small objects. also i dont want to charge my headphones

"use these wireless headphones with a transmitter! there is virtually no lag"

i always lose small objects. also i dont want to charge my headphones

"these headphones with a transmitter are HUGE! youd never lose it"

i can still lose the transmitter. also I DON'T WANT TO CHARGE MY HEADPHONES...

look how future these earbuds are

[ryanthedemiboy]

I genuinely think if the teens and young adults of today listened to music with high-quality wired headphones directly into a headphone jack, they'd be appalled that that's not an option on most devices anymore.

Bluetooth is fine, but wired? Different experience.
