Where the expensive cable would probably have broken off the HDMI connector from the inside of the TV due to it’s heavy plastic and rigidity. The extra benefit was that this cheap cable was thinner and allowed it to be bend nicely at the back of the TV. Then went to the store across the street and bought the cheapest HDMI cable I could find and it served me well for many years. HDMI, digital signals?!?! “Yes, but these are specially gas filled cables to reduce cable losses…” I never laughed so hard. “You see the difference” he said, “no more noisy pictures” he said.
Because the packaging and the salesman in the shop told you that these cables are really the best. We all know about super expensive HDMI cables, costing more then 30 times the cheapest cable. Now there is also another kind of people that pay about anything as long as the story (or commercial “wrapping”) is good. However… the main problem lies in the denial, because you can’t say you’ve just bought an overpriced headphone, so they only thing you can do to save your “reputation” is to state that it is excellent, works like a charm and sounds wayyyyyyy better then anything you’ve had before. And if that makes them feel good, then what’s the problem? It’s some form of admittance to a club of millions of “individuals” who all want to be unique by having the same overpriced gadget. However, many people don’t care about the quality, they care about the brand.
#Knock off airpods Bluetooth#
Posted in Cellphone Hacks, digital audio hacks Tagged AirPod, apple, audio, bluetooth Post navigationĭo you mean that when something is cheap is automatically means it has to be crap?ĭo you mean that when something is expensive that is automatically is very good?īoth are sometimes right but most of the time both are wrong. The last time we saw a hack related to the Apple AirPod, it was when somebody threw them out the window, so one might presume most hackers prefer their iDevice tethered. But what do you expect for something that’s nearly a 20th the price of the original? Even still, mentions that occasionally they don’t come on at the same time. While he was at it, he also wired the individual buttons on each headphone to a center button on the PCB which would allow him to physically synchronize them. What realized was that he could put together a little PCB that combines the two audio channels back into a regular stereo 3.5 mm audio jack. That also means that each receiver is only playing one channel, making them useless individually.
It has to, as they have no physical connection to each other. It probably doesn’t meet the classical definition of a “good” use of time and/or money, but at least he got some entertainment out of a product that was otherwise destined for the trash.Īs you might imagine, the left and right “AirPod” each has its own battery, Bluetooth receiver, and speaker. Instead, he took the two poor Bluetooth audio receivers and combined them into one slightly less poor Bluetooth audio receiver. So much so that he didn’t even bother putting the things back together. took apart a pair of fake AirPods and was predictably underwhelmed. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do something interesting with them. That also means that plenty of overseas manufacturers are pumping out janky clones for a fraction of the price for those who are more about the Apple look than the Apple price tag. Whether or not you personally like the concept of the AirPod Bluetooth headphones is irrelevant, as an Apple product one thing is certain: all the cool kids want them.
