My broken earphones (just
the ones I have not dumped)
|
How many of your electronic devices or apps have broken lately?
Were they broken because of your fault or was there something to do with the
brand? Of course user’s fault is a primary factor. But, they may also be broken
because of horrible low quality. I had fifteen earphones gone in two years.
That means roughly eight each year, or four each semester. I could have got
purchasing prizes more than somebody else. It sounds like I am a rich guy, no,
not at all.
I have a made-in-chinaphobia now, in the US. It is not because I
am rich or do not buy made-in-china products, it is because I could not parry
them in the US markets. I have tried to buy each of them from a different brand
with variety of prices, company, made manual and online purchases. I have
pretty much bought almost all brands that currently exist in the market, since
each of them came from a different brand, but the results were still the
same; they are everywhere.
At least, one of an earphone’s components must come from China,
either the box, cord, or other! I should recognize that China is invading the
US markets like it does elsewhere; the demand for such low quality products
over here is also increasing. Probably, low income people in the US is rising?
It is not exactly known, but really, the market allows them to be here. I do
not say that all made-in-china products are bad, some do have incredible long
life span. But, not earphone. Now, I have the fifteenth gone. Only my
left ear can hear sounds. I am looking forward to buy a new one. I will come to
buy the same thing; I hope not.
I would not be surprised at all if I were currently in my home
country. I would purchase a made-in-china thing consciously because there is no
other option, they are pretty much everywhere. We are just end users, so that's
all we can do. But, it seems like same thing happens in the US as well.
** Hope this gives you an inspiration
