I think those "earbuds" are war crimes under the Geneva Convention.
$20 says the buttons and D-pad are non-functional as well.
That's the thing that annoys me the most about kitsch stuff: the fake buttons and knobs.
Of course they're non-functional. It's a cheap transistor radio. It's got a wheel switch for on/off/volume and a wheel for tuning. What would the buttons and d-pad even do?
That's what I'm saying! You can clearly see the real controls off to the side of the device. No effort was put into this thing. It was literally slapped together using off the shelf parts and a simple mold.
Would it have killed them to have used a basic digital tuner, and made the D-Pad function as tuning and volume at the very least? At least then they could have misleadingly marketed it has having an LCD display. But they couldn't even bother to do that.
- Digital was expensive.
They had cheap digital radios in the 90s. I was there. I remember them.
That's true for all earbuds, as far as I'm concerned.
They are supposed to have soft foam.
Doesn't fit even more.
But they wre so low quality by then, that they are ruined
