Wait ketchup is a vegetable now? Fuck yes, that means I had so many vegetables on my french fries the other day! I like vegetables on hot dogs, burgers, they're great spread over a meatloaf, as a kid I would even put vegetables on my baked beans (I still do it sometimes as an adult). Can't forget about special sauce/1k island: mix together some mayo, mustard, a little relish, some vegetables. Mmm mmm, living healthy never tasted so good!
yeah.. I don't even understand the post. They say that being able to shower with a headphone (wtf) would be as perfect has this shit show of a burger? These people are sick.
Doesn't even need to be a Bluetooth speaker. If you turn the volume up enough you can use the wired speakers on your stereo system or home theatre system
Jesus, i really didn't get any of what this was trying to say. Showering with headphones is perfection? A burger is perfection? This burger is perfection?
There are two memes here. The first is the image of a "perfect" burger (I prefer mine with lettuce and sesame seeds on the bread, but whatever) and the second is a joke about Americans needing burgers to be able to understand something.
Not every shower is a hair wash. Especially if you have long hair and shower daily it might be say a 1:4 ratio.
I advocate for headphones in those 75% of showers. Can be very nice.
I don't even have good speakers, so this ensures best sound quality. It also skips the setup steps, if you then proceed to commute to work say. Just a continuous music experience, and you'd have had to put them on later anyway.
Very fitting for the olde 5min shower out the door maneuver.
It really isn't a problem. Even wired ones don't get in the way as long as the hair is over them. My hair is almost down to my ass, and the first headphones I ever used in the shower were cheap skull candy ones that were wired Bluetooth. No issues at all hair wise. No issues at all tbh, other than sounding like crap because they were cheap skull candy buds.
"Better" is always situational as well. Better for one person in their situation can change in a different place or time. You get two different people in different places with different needs, and "Better" is so subjective as to be useless as a term.
As an example: quality of sound. The portable speaker is going to vary massively by price when it comes to being clear in sound once loud enough to counter the water noises. Even cheap ear buds don't have to go as loud to bypass water noise because they at least partly block the sound from reaching the ear in the first place. Which means the sound can be better, and less likely to be uncomfortable due to volume.
Neighbors in close quarters, housemates and timing, personal preferences regarding controlling playback, hearing acuity, etc. There's a ton of variables in what's going to be a desirable condition for enjoying music while bathing/showering. So, no, a portable speaker isn't inherently better. It's a choice for sure, but just because one person finds it preferable doesn't make it superior
sigh, okay foot fella, I guess I can buy in to your fucked up evocation of perfection, but only for all of the other parts of the image you've painted in my head.
Some of the cheap ones aren't real bone conduction. After a fake pair I bought a pair of Shokz, wear them in the shower all the time, usually after getting them (and myself) sweaty.
Yeah, I got a pair that claimed bone conduction, but just has little speakers that play into the air. Can hear them just as well holding them next to your head as wearing them. Didn't try them under water, they have little speaker holes. They work as emergency backups.
Beware of poor fitment though. I got some cheap wired ones years ago (from Amazon), didn't work so well because they had bad contact and no mechanism for adjustment. Kinda also needed a preamp, though if contact were perfect maybe that'd matter less.
I also am not so sure I'd trust them to be waterproof, and anything that is would likely have a heftier pricetag. That, and I'm pretty tired of everything having batteries.
OMG, I never noticed that he had bags over his headphones. That scene was the first thing I thought of when I saw OP though, so thanks for showing me that extra detail.
Bose quiet comfort. I dont put my ears in the water when I do this. They have capacitive touch controls so they will start cycling through the different noise canceling modes if they get even a few drops of water.
This works great in the bath, and fine in the shower if I'm not washing my hair.
I used to have some beats that had a mechanical button and they did even better because the little bit of moisture wouldn't start activating the mode swapping or volume changes.
not op but if you want decent ones, skullcandy push active. i have had a couple pairs make it thru a washer/dryer cycle (inside their case) and they dont quit lol. other comments mentioned touch controls being a problem in the mist, these ones only have physical buttons so no issue there
Not OP, but I've been wearing any of the IP68 Sony earbuds in the shower for many years. Currently WF-1000XM5 for at home and a pair of the LinkBud S for on-the-go. They fritz a bit sometimes if the mist from the shower hits just right but you can literally wipe them with your wet hand and it goes back to normal. I even put them away damp when I'm lazy...
I mean I just have a shelf high up in the shower that I put my phone on and play music out of the speaker. The acoustics are great in the shower, why would you want earbuds?
It works for me. Go for a run, hop in the shower. Earbuds stay in from the run. Nobody else listening to my phone. Dont have to worry about a phone shelf in the shower.
The trick is to be able to have flagship level anc, waterproof, Bluetooth earbuds, that have great sound, are comfortable, and have good controls, and perhaps have selective passthrough, all in realtime, that are also durable, good battery life, look good, and have repairability, all while not impacting the shower process and motions.
Like... These things are all basically the holy grail.
Edit: bonus points for being able to also wash your ears magically somehow.
Edit 2: or just make a silent shower with very good acoustic properties.
Why would you wanna wear headphones in the shower? I just bring my phone in and listen to podcasts. There’s a little hook on my shower shelf that holds my phone so I can listen to it. It’s great!
Yeah, like what is this even about? You can get a waterproof Bluetooth speaker with pause/play, volume, and sometimes even forward and back skip buttons for pretty cheap.

That burger is a horrorshow. Who the hell wants un-melted cheese? The bun isn't toasted either.

Also, seems to be missing the rest of the toppings. No way there's any lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, or any combination of the above, on there.

There is most likely chopped onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard. I’m 99% sure it’s a double cheeseburger from McDonald’s.

It’s hard to melt the cheese when the patty is so thin that a 3kmph wind for 8 seconds at 22C is sufficient airflow to cool it.
