I work in a place that sells headphones and earphones, amongst other things. It boggles me that at least 10 times a day (calculate that figure per month), I get asked this question:
"Will these work with my iPod?"
I mean, how many types of mini-phono jacks do earphones come with?!
Have people not seen 3.5mm jacks before? Have they not noticed that Apple has used 3.5mm jacks on all generations of the iPod from the beginning 'til now?
The earphones we sell will not turn into C4 and explode if plugged into an Apple device, nor will their iPods go into nuclear meltdown when paired with a non-toiletbowl-white set of earphones. Which part of the earphone exactly do people think isn't compatible????
Why don't I get this question from Samsung MP3 owners? Cowon owners? Creative owners? Meizu owners??? Why only iPod owners???
Sorry, I'm just exasperated.
I love Apple so much. Especially their interface and design. But I. Can't. Stand. Some. Of. Their. Users.
