headphones

[ronnietoon]

i just broken my samsung earphones that i use on my laptop.the earphones came with a phone the right one works but not the left.

it was a drunken accident/laziness last night i stood on them both are cracked and opened,the left one will not work at all.

i tried using a pair a friend had bought from a pound shop and the volume was about 40% of just the samsung one's right(working side)

any tips to fix them?

if not where can i get some decent branded ones cheap?

without my mothers saying "you buy cheap you buy twice"

currys / wilkos deff:not £1 shop around £12 /£14 for a reasonable pair

[deggers316]

too fiddly to fix unless you got the right tools and know what your doing

[ronnietoon]

no deggers dont have the hands/know how to fix them,there's a wilkos and argos near me which i will look to as they have a good returns policy if they are not as good as the ones i have broken.

couldnt you get an identical pair if you do a search for the model name on ebay, if the p&p is not excessive you may be able to get them cheaper

OH just bought a pair of genuine Sennheiser CX200 off ebay for a lot less than retail. Surprisingly decent sound and cheap enough that if they break it's not the end of the world.

a quick search on ebay showed genuine samsung headphones starting from around £4-5 including p&p

snags and barney i've had problems buying things from ebay bought a hdmi cable for my tv for about £3 including postage from a reliable seller,all dispatched promptly etc but ended up having to buy one from a shop because of its performance.

amazing how i am now surrounded with offers on every site i go on including this for earphones :.)

a hdmi cable willwork ok if its cheap or expensive,
its for digital not analogue which needs a decent cable
dont be fooled by these silly claims about hdmi cables one costing £3 has same performance as a £80 one
