So in my daily search through online articles, I came across this gem:
http://shopping.yahoo.com/articles/yshoppingarticles/609/dual-driver-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/
The article features four headphones that it claims are within a reasonable price range. I wholly disagree. The lowest price for one of their headphones is $80, which to any normal person, on a normal budget, is outrageous!! I paid maybe $10 for mine, and they offer AMAZING sound quality. They aren't great for running with, but hey, they sound good so I'm not complaining. What astounds me even more is that Yahoo featured this article alongside the struggling economy article:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Gas-tanks-are-draining-family-apf-1869403252.html?x=0
about the seemingly ever rising gas prices. So it seems there are two categories of people being targeted: techies, or music buffs, or others with large amounts of disposable income, and the average American. Let's be real here, most of us fall into the second category.
In other news this weekend is Memorial Day. The day is meant to serve for remembrance of fallen American soldiers. It started back after the Civil War (no I didn't know this, I had to look it up), and expanded to the point of national holiday in 1971.The other great thing about Memorial Day? It marks the unofficial beginning to SUMMER! Break out your white pants and beach blankets, it's bound to be a good one (I say as it's overcast where I am...)
Anyways, enjoy the weekend celebrations :)
