How did we live without these?

I bought my husband a pair of wireless headphones and he won't take them off.



You see when he works on countertops in his "shop" he normally has ear buds attached to his phone to listen to music while he works. One day as I walked out there to tell him something I saw him put down his router and turn to walk to reach for another tool and he forgot he had a cord. Of course, he went boing and they ripped out of his ears. I was there just in time to laugh. Yes, I'm the Good Wife.

I thought for fathers day I would buy him a pair of wireless headphones. No, he's not my dad. No, we don't have kids together. But he is a dad. So I bought them. I wanted to get white or a light color because when he is fabrication it makes a real white dust over everything. I figured black ones would look awful in no time. Silver was the lightest.

This began my research. 
Everyone said to buy Dr. Dre's headphones. I saw the cost and about died.
So I went online and did my homework. I found videos of people doing comparisons. I went with the ones that not only cost hundreds of dollars less but that the best rankings and affordable. 
 I bought him SMS Audio SYNC wireless headphones by 50cent. These are nice! They do the trick for what he needs. Because they are blue tooth Rick paired them with the TV, his tablet, his phone etc.  On our DVR, we have a Sammy Hagar show that we turn to every now and then.
I told Rick I wanted to hear the TV with them so he hit the Sammy show and viola. Man, these are nice.
Now I remember why I am losing my hearing. I used to listen to music through headphones for years when I was young  - and listened loudly!  He is thrilled with them. He spent the day wearing them. When I went out to his shop to speak with him he was singing - loudly and off key. It was a hoot. I should have recorded that for facebook and blogger. Not so good wife.

I love that you can pair them with the TV. Now  I can watch TV with the volume completely off on the TV when Rick is sleeping and I can still hear the TV and watch my shows.  How did we live without wireless everything for Petes sake?  Also helps for a person who's hearing is a bit impaired to not have the TV at a high volume. (just read that on someone's blog and it's also my issue) 

This is what he got for fathers day from his daughter. The apron and the Koozie.
See that koozie? It's called a boobzie. Guess she knows her dad huh?  But really that can't be used anywhere. At least Rick would never use it. The apron, he'll wear. Again it won't let me rotate. The photo is not like this until we get it on blogger. WTH?  any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have no idea why the photo is rotating like that, how weird! Could it be it's too big?

I know all about my hearing being damaged with headphones! I'm a dj! My ears ring most of the time, and unless I give up my job it's not gonna get better!

I can't say I'd use the Koozie either!

I have trouble listening to music and working because I'd rather listen to the music than work.

LL, I don't know anyone who would use that koozie! Ooh, ringing in your ears. You will end up like me with my tv too loud or using closed captions.

Mike, really? It doesn't help you work? It makes the time fly for us.

I wish I knew about these before I ordered my tv wireless headphones. I don't know if they link up to everything bluetooth. In fact I don't even know what I've got beside my laptop with bluetooth. Gosh darn it all, I really need to get in the know about these things.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Barbara, you make the coffee and I'll show you all your Bluetooth things.
And if you don't how accurate I am, I'll bring the wine.:-)

Now you can both be hearing impaired and buy a second set!

Cora, ricks hearing is every bit as bad as mine already. That ship sailed long ago. He can also answer the phone whole wearing these. The music stops and he answers his phone by tapping the side. And buying 2 is not in the cards. These aren't cheap. Only one of us gets toys. :-) he'll share though.

I hate when it does that to my pictures. I've actually deleted them, turned them and re-uploaded them and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't lol

I bought my step dad a gift card for Subway. Called my real dad and didn't buy Scott anything since that's what I got for Mother's Day ;)

For some reason it looks like I can't comment on your next post. My daughter is gay so although I don't really want her to marry her current partner (like it's up to me lol) it's nice to know that she CAN and that she would have all the same rights that my husband and I have.
