I hate modern product quality!

Beware, long rant...

I bought my headphones about two and a half years ago because they were the only ones to convince me regarding sound balance and quality by not being bass-centered with poor heights - and I could afford them (especially because they stopped producing them and the store put them on discount)!
It was a dream come true. Ironically, even very expensive ones didn't have the balance I would have expected and felt off.
These have a good scale of frequencies covered and are from a company I have made good experiences with throughout my life, so basically childhood years and teens.

Well, the emphasis is on made.
All this ended with these headphones. The casing is a catastrophy. They seemed solid and comfortable at first, but it turns out a fair share of it was just glued. They are supposedly suited and made for outdoor use - I only use them indoors for my PC and literally often just touched them with my finger tips. I didn't throw them around, I didn't do anything odd with them either. Yet they started falling apart revealing the padding inside. What. The. Heck.
On top of that, it turns out my TV (same brand, but a bit older by now) has some HDMI issues that (when connecting my PC to it) causes short screen blackouts and sometimes also audio stops for a second up to a few. This is an issue that is not being addressed and fixed with software updates, it's an issue with HDCP as far as I can tell and some quick internet research revealed that many other TVs by them have the same problem. The whole point in connecting my PC to the TV was so I could enjoy some gaming or online videos or tv media centers on it, it basically defeats that purpose.

My trust in this company is forever broken and I doubt I will buy something with their brand on it again, just like I will never buy a Microsoft input device anymore after this wireless Xbox360 gamepad (also under the assumption "because the product quality was superb in the past"). I'm angered because I know that I can't tape these headphones forever and the increasing amount of bad experiences with products on the market don't make me want to go out and search for years for new headphones. Yes. I was searching for ones I would be happy with for years.

If they break for good and can't fix them, I'll just go back to those rock hard soviet headphones we have - they might not have the same scale of frequencies, but they have a proper balance and still work flawlessly! :x

Why must it be so hard to find a product that will last and have good quality? I hate this money-making trend... :(

It's cliche to say, but they don't make things like they used to. Consumer goods, and consumer electronics in particular, are so disposable nowadays it's appalling. They may claim to make things more eco-friendly or whatever, but in all actuality constantly producing goods that will wear out and be thrown out in a few years is much worse for the environment than just building something that can and will last for decades. I understand that the march of technological progress is partly to blame for this, but so are the motives of coroporate executives. Companies nowadays WANT you to constantly be throwing out old devices and buying new ones so that they can have a steady source of revenue.

Maybe once some global catastrophe happens, people will once again understand why it's good to have things that are built to last. I bet you're still going to be seeing cars from the 50s in working condition 20 years from now, even if we're out of fossil fuels to power them with. Cars from the 2000s or 2010s on the other hand, probably not.


So damn true.

Headphones in particular constantly break.

Even the $300 ones that came with my DJ Set ended up damaged after just a few (careful) weeks of usage.

Toy army mans couldn't be any more plastic, breakable and thinly made. Very pathetic.

I've used older skateboards and felt the sturdyness and bulk of them and modern ones tend to be thin and less sturdy.

Heck, plenty of modern skateboard's are made of plastic nowadays!

TVs were big and bulky, now they're thinly framed. The glass is weaker than it's ever been.

Modern phones break in one drop.

Gaming consoles are poorer quality.

I could drop a PS2 controller and it's fine, drop an Xbox-360 or PS3 and it risks breaking.

Pisses ya off so much.

This goddamn paradox is killing me.

I have no friends here, but want to meet new people, but there's nothing to do here solo. At least if i was 18 i could barhop.

I have agoraphobia, fear of the outdoors and can't leave the house alone without feeling uncomfortable. I can do it, but don't enjoy it.

To cure my agoraphobia, either I have to leave the house with a friend or family member until I get comfortable going on my own, or start going out more on my own anyway.

But there's NOTHING to ever do here for fun solo, and like I said i have no friends to go anywhere with anyway!

Screw trying to learn to be happy being alone. I AM!

I spend every day on my hobbies and interests, work hard to be healthy, volunteer 1-2 days a week, go to a social group for disabled people.

But have no friends or relationship outside of that.

And don't even think about telling me I have the opportunity to really 'know myself'.

I know myself like a book. Every nuance, every detail. I have searched, discovered and mapped and recorded nearly every fibre of my being and understand myself more than I ever have before last year and this year due to my extensive time in solitary and isolation.

Who the f*ck wants to know themselves anymore? i want to know OTHERS. i want to get to know new people and discover new people.

I can discern every thought, every action I carry out.

I have mastered my metacognition. I know why I might think a certain thought or think the way I do, in a few minutes of sitting down I can analyse, discern and extract all motivations concious or sub-concious behind each and every thought or action and find my logic or rationale for such actions and what possible biological or psychological factors may have influenced such a descision.

My mind is riddled with logical fallacies and other errors of calculation but I am AWARE of when I do them.

I know when I'm resorting to a logical fallacy or when my mind tries to justify me not doing something.

So yeah. I f*cking know myself.

I'm getting really sick of the way people are treating Mikie1091. This whole thing is making me really nervous. I guess it's just in my nature, to want to stick up for "low-functioning" or "weird" people. But all he did was ask some innocent questions, accusing him of spamming and whatnot. And I realize that it's against the "rules" to create multiple threads. But I wish people would just leave him alone, and realize that it's NOT SO BIG OF A DEAL. He only comes once in a while. And I just think it's so unfair that innocent people who never meant to do any harm get reported 1000 times, while people can say the most horrible things and not have anything done. But I guess the way of the world. What you say can be as offensive as anything, but if it's not against the "rules", nothing can be done. Also, I wish that on an autism forum people would be more accepting of members who are not like them, and perhaps communicate differently, or lack awareness of social cues. It seems like some people are accepting of people with autism or intellectual disabilities, but only if they do everything the right way and are enough like them. Which really isn't accepting them at all.

You're right, AP. Absolutely right.

I'm just trying to get him to go beyond the zone where he has to post identical threads.

Don't want to spend my whole life working my ass off just for the pleasure of living a long and comfortable life being completely miserable and lonely. There's no future for someone like me. There's only one logical option but I'm too scared to do it yet.

Who the F*CK swears under their goddamn breath in anger just because you knocked on the bathroom door and I said I was in there multiple times and stopped them when they tried to open the door?! !! !

I dont care if you just woke up in the morning, I spoke at a reasonable volume level and if you didnt hear me thats your own damn responsibility, and if you get so pissed about something so trivial, you are a motherf*cking a55h*le!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

You never take responsibility for yourself, not just in this situation but in all areas of life in general you hypocritical piece of sh*t...

bet its my fault if i dont speak loud enough and you dont hear, bey its my own fault if i dont hear you if its the other way round??

I hate it when someone shares a bunch of depressing stuff in a message while they're just still getting to know me. I am not heartless and I feel so much but I think it's inconsiderate to just do that to someone they don't know well. I do care but I wasn't ready. I don't know how to respond to that s**t. It's awkward.

I SWEAR TO MYSELF :x

If I ever own things, it wouldn't be more of an annoyance than it's usage. :x Slow booting, frequently hanging, virus filled gadgets and computers. Then those cabinets with little or no support that only allows light objects, or practically NOTHING. Or a box with holes and a semi broken lock. Or I hope not a vehicle with tons of maintenance and easily runs out of gas on a full tank on a less than a mile journey.


I don't just dislike needy people huh? Or having needs itself. I guess I also dislike needy OBJECTS. :x

Thanks for being such a crap mother.

Your neglect taught me to be independent and your abuse taught me to be strong.
What I endured taught me to put my mind in another place entirely.
You tortured me and I survived.

So don't bother telling me I'm going to hell.
I've already been there a thousand times.
