So I was in the mall and stopped in the Verizon store to ask about something and I went all bold and asked if I promised to wipe down his earbuds can I give his a listen. They were pretty nice! The only thing I'm skeptical on is that stupid neck piece and the wires are really quite thin. Almost like thread. That leaves me skeptical about durability if they get hung up on something, but the sound was Awesome.

Also, I'm not so sure the rubber gel pieces come small enough for me. Only two sizes come with the kit.

My son has a pair like this that they got from Verizon when his wife got her phone.  He loves them.  And he is WAY harder on his shit than anybody.  He even has dead spots on his indestructible phone screen...

I just ordered the ones that LK showed me from Amazon and well, since Amazon now no longer takes the TD Bank gift cards due to the restriction TD has on them for demanding the 3 digit code on the back, I had to put the order on hold. I'll be using the link LK gave me to reorder. The rest of the stuff I'll have to wait for.

I found these squish to fit ear bud replacement foam pieces that I added to the order too. They intrigued me. Those will have to wait.

Getting the Beyerdynamics?

Yes. What a fiasco! 3 hours later, two calls to TD, 2 calls to Amazon, 1 call to Sam Ash, I am waiting anxiously for my earbuds, my squishy covers, a shirt and other things from Amazon.

TIP: when using a TD Gift card, it is very important that you have the zip code correct on Amazon or it will generate a fail. Amazon generates automatically that 4 digit extension, where TD did not have it in their records. It had nothing to do with the 3 digit code on the back of the card. Second call to TD sorted that out and the girl on the TD end added the 4 digit code to the zip and so far so good. '

Sam Ash are useless idiots.

I never used any gift cards with Sam Ash so I wouldn't know about all that. I never had any problem just using a credit/debit card with them either online or standing in one of their brick and mortar locations.

Same goes for Guitar Center.

Nifty fact: If you order online from Guitar Center because they have a better price than MusiciansFriend.......it ships from MusiciansFriend anyway! MF is online only and GC has stores even though they are essentially the same company. It pays to check both out before buying.

Another little trick.......sometimes it pays to do ship to store from GC and just go pick it up if it's something they don't have in stock. Plus (more for Matt) they will do that for any used gear. Ships from the store it's at to your local one for pickup.

If you cruise their site you can occasionally stick your hand in the outhouse and come up with a bouquet of roses. LOL

I've never heard of a 'TD Bank' gift card.  Those four digits on the end of your zip are just you entire zip code as generated by the post office.  It's hit or miss for whoever uses them.  They are always the same of course.

I gather you don't have TD Bank out your way. I thought they were national. Anyway, I think they're the only bank now with these available. It's a "pre-paid" Visa card for lack of a better explanation. I use them all the time for Christmas gifts because you can use these like any kind of debit or credit card. Just go to the bank, tell them how much you want to put on one and viola! Gift card generated and the recipient can spend it anywhere they want.

Guess what didn't go through

OMG this is bullshit. I'm on the phone with Amazon now and have asked for a supervisor or manager of sales because this is bullshit.

Bose, is expensive but always solid in quality. There is a reason they can charge what they do, we have a bose outlet store here I have to check it out sometime.

Yeah I looked into those too.

Turns out that there is a security alert for all TD Gift cards and use of them online is suspended until further notice. It took me bitching at a TD manager while I had the lady from Amazon on the line listening to the conversation. Needless to say I pitched a fit but at least I got a legitimate reason. I was told to check back next week.

Anthony, I may go and have a run up to that store at some point this week.
