a luxury earphones set

  I have used earphones frequently in this year during commuting and doing housework. The earphones set was a gift from my father-in-law. It came with a Samsung smartphone he has bought last year. He gave it to me after I lost my own one. I admitted I did not treat the gift very well. Although I used it every day, I always squeezed it into my trousers' pocket. Last week, one side of the earphones could not speak. I concluded that earphones were vulnerable and I should not invest an expensive one.

  I went through the shopping malls and visited many shops selling digital accessories. I found that earphones with hand-free were mostly expensive. The earphones set given by father-in-law was sold at $130 HKD. As I didn't want to invest in stuff which will damage in half years, I chose a $68 one. I worn the new earphones quickly and walked to home happily. When I played a song and started to enjoy, I was shocked! The earphone speakers were very loud. But loud didn't mean clear. I immediately turned down the volume. I then switched to a speech that I was familiar with. The speech was very blur, the sound quality was terrible! I could not believe I was so picky on the sound quality of earphones. When I passed through a crowded street, noise passed through the earphones mixed with the voice from the speakers. It was so annoying and I failed to endure even for one minute.

  After I went home, I listened with the earphone again and again in compare with the Samsung one. I discovered my ears have been pampered by the old earphones for half years!. The old earphones set was from father-in law. He seldom used it and therefore gave it to me. Same as many human being, I took that gift for granted and did not notice how wonderful it was. Looking at that new earphones set, I shouted in my mind :"This is rubbish. The sound is terrible. It cannot block any noise but instead amplify it! I make no bones about it! I have to replace another one!" I talked to my wife furiously that I wanted to replace that crap. My wife stayed calm and said:"Well. You used earphones everyday. Why not buy a good one?".

  I sprinted to the shop and told the shopkeeper that I want to replace an excellent earphones set no matter how expensive it will be! I was back. I came and took revenge! The shopkeeper was kind of patient and introduced an excellent earphones set to me. He said :"This is an earphones set with "Dual Dynamic Driver". The sound is excellent and it can impede most of the noice outside. Let try!" I don't know what "Dual Dynamic Driver" was. I took out $220 HKD accompanied with the $68 crap in replace of this great earphones set. I wore it at once and my life resumed to normal with clear sound, negligible noise and with fantastic bass added.

  When I went home and calmed down, I suddenly remembered a statement from Warren Buffett: "I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me." Was Warren Buffett so arrogant? No. First, expensive goods always came with good quality. Second, we will use it with care. Therefore it can be used for many years and become cheap in term of usable hours. I hope this "Bonnaire MX-320 pro" luxury earphones set will be finally cheap on me.
