So, I am the destroyer of headphones. I am to headphones what might blind grandfather was to the road--a treacherous hazard. I've destroyed nearly every set of phones I've owned. About two years ago I decided to stop dropping good money and just go cheap. Anyway, last night, busted my last cheap set. Today, walked in to Fry's Electronics and purchased an LG Hbs 700 bluetooth set, 55 bucks out the door. Having went for the cheapest they had, I figured the sound would be **** and the distance would suck--to my surprise, they are actually pretty decent. Now, they obviously aren't for the finicky audiophile, but if you're like me, a death sentence to most things electronic, you might appreciate the exceptional price to quality ratio.
Note, they are ugly and a bit odd to get used too around the neck--but hey, cheap and functional trump odd and ugly.
As well, if you order them online they go for about 10 bucks cheaper--might be mitigated if you don't get free shipping.

Suggestion
I reccomend skull candy headphones, especially their titans. They are all metal and a have pretty good sound quality also they are quite cheap and plenty stylish. Enjoy those ones, but keep the titans in mind for next time!

i just got this phone used in immaculate condition just a few days ago.
i was browsing through its internet and i was mesmerized by how beautiful the screen was.
i didn't realize that time has passed by so fast that i am already late at school.
realizing i have to get in class on time. i am in a hurry--put the phone in my pocket and hop in my car.
i heard a crashing--shattering noise.
i realize something has gone missing, and something went horribly wrong.
i looked at the floor with a horror on my face. as the reality kicks in--with a sigh of disbelief, the phone meets the floor... :crying:

Ouch. This is why spending the extra $4 on a case from ebay is recommended. After dropping so many phones, I don't take the chance anymore. Also if you decide to sell it, it will look as good as the day you bought it. It sends chills down my spine thinking of putting a naked phone in my pocket.
Yeah, I always have a case on. I used to use tpu cases, I've come to like my otterbox commuter case. Sorry to the OP for sure though.
Case is good idea, along with insurance from carrier ..

I have never used a case in my life. I have a little dent on the bottom rear cover. I have dropped it dozens of times, it just never fell face down onto a point. I must have a horseshoe up my a** I dunno, lol. The build quality seems the same as the original EVO, atleast from my mishaps.
I got my bamboo case. REALLY love these cases. they are not the most durable.
if you drop the phone onto a hard surface it WILL break the case but it will also do its job and save your phone. the price you pay for gorgeous wood
this one ended up being fantastic. great quality finish and fit. I will probably order another as a spare.
Onto the pictures!

The PRICE
(how much?)
How much and where you bought it?
ahh. yes I mentioned in the video but not here.

141129682208
lowered it to $15. soon as I get paid ordering another as a spare. I really like this one. almost as much as I like my UAG.
$16 isn't so bad

Wow normally I hate wood cases but this one looks really good might have to pick one up for just 16 bux.
i think i'm gonna try this one... it's seems really cool...
Since my job is a bit more physical than most. One thing that I ran across is the occasional tap on the Original wrist band that just makes it come off.
Solving that is all of an $8 leather cuff from Amazon and 2 short cuts (from a $200 knife).

Guys with larger wrists, there's not much chance of this coming off. You can also always buy a strip of leather yourself and a few grommet/snaps and make one.
Hey, that thing cuts like butter and is 9 inches of OTF beauty!
As for the mod, this of course renders the heartrate sensor useless, but it looks much better anyway

thats actually a very smart idea for those who dont mind wearing cuffs, and have the same issue, may i ask you do you find that the screen gets scratched easy i just bought mine and im wondering if its worth me buying one of those screen protectors
I'd been contemplating the X-Z3TC-LTE as an upgrade from the X-Z-U, but it's so much bigger it just isn't pocketable in the same way; here's the XZU on top of the Z3TC:

p.s. apologies for the poor picture quality, a friend took the picture and we had to be quite stealthy as the shop probably wouldn't have approved of us taking pictures.
naaah...u got baby pockets or something? I would buy it! I want a bigger phone! :laugh:
Agree.. With superuser. Nothing is too big. Waiting to get myself one of those bad boy..
That... Too big? Nah... If you really need to, put it in a wheelbarrow or something, there's no such thing as too big!
Yeah, that's a proper tablet. It probably works fine as a tablet, but i doubt it'll work nicely as a phone. The Ultra is special since it's both a phone and a mini-tablet, but it leans more towards a phone (in size, that is), while this is a full blown tablet that you can call with if you want too, while the Ultra is mainly a big phone.
I was thinking that one of these tablets coupled with a smart watch and a collar style Bluetooth headset (LG Tone or Sony SBH80) might actually work quite well. No need to check the tablet for messages all the time, and no need to get it out to make or take phone calls.
I guess what I'm trying to say to myself is, "Way to fcuking go, dude! You saw right through history and knew that this little S6 honey was gonna get the shock treatment sooner or later, so why wait, right?"
And bonus points to me for having managed to do so in a year-end review winning style, no doubt in the ever popular, "Whaaa? Is that dude fcuking retarded?" category. Pros: duuuuude, you instantly made retarded look like "advanced clever."
Cons: you did so in a comically regressive mannner. While collecting local geo-data and sensing near-surface disturbances just below your public viewing area, you somehow were able to determine, unlike anyone post=hoc could, that ejecting the shiny new Samsung S6 past the mat and onto the nearby cement floor would be best for it, especially if done so screen down, as though continuing to rest upon your lap during a period of increased disturbances would be a big mistake though it had done so until then quite comfortably, much like a convenience store burrito an hour earlier was a big mistake that had rested in place quite comfortably until then.
Or as I believe I heard you prase yourself in a summary of events just after The Great Ejection, "Whaaa? Dude! Arrrrrrghhhhh! Are you fcuking retarded???"

Did you purchase with a credit card offering extended or no-fault warranty? If so, you might be in luck.
Can you retroactively purchase a service plan, and then make a claim say a week from now? If so, then you should be in good shape.
You have options -- investigate. I've availed myself of both these examples in the past.
