Living in a world full of options for literally everything, it is advantageous to have a preference. It’s a great way to filter through thousands of options while saving you time and energy. When it comes to personal listening devices, I prefer headphones. They are safer and provide a great deal of noise cancellation. I’m also not mad at earphones, mostly because they have saved my phone from smashing into the ground countless times.
I’ve never really considered getting pods. I really was indifferent to Earpods as they are just wireless earphones, which means they will not be able to save my phone from potential doom. It was only after getting my smartwatch that Earpods started to appeal to me. With a smartwatch, they make sense. I am better able to utilize all features with Earpods connected to my watch.
Que in my brand new Earpods that I purchased from For Real Deals. It is an online store that sells a variety of products from furniture to baby items.
The EarPods I bought came in its charging case along with a very (very) short charging cable and a mini manual.
Keep in my mind these are my first ever pods. The manual wasn’t much help on how to switch them on or any lights that might go on. Dololo. So I was basically alone in figuring this initial part out. Cool. When you charge these pods for the first time, be sure to push the charging tip all the way in. There was resistance and I had to use a bit more force than I would have liked to.
The Earpods were charged for the one-hour duration that is suggested on the mini-manual. They, unfortunately, did not switch on. Continued to charge further in vain, unfortunately.
What a shame. And they are so cute in their yellow shade.
I will be in touch with For Real Deals and hopefully, they can turn this unpleasant experience around.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, they didn’t take this opportunity to rectify anything. Moving forward, I hope they will check their products for quality assurance.
