Weean Oct 2013 8:09am, 15 Oct 2013 176 posts	0 Weean I still wear the original headphones that came with my iPod Nano in 2008. All the rubber's worn off and they've gone a rather unattractive colour, but they are just the right size for me for running (they're my dedicated running headphones - I use a decent pair for actually listening to stuff). Unfortunately they were redesigned a year or two back, so I don't know what I'm going to replace them with when they do finally shuffle off their mortal electromagnetic coil.

Spleen Oct 2013 10:49am, 15 Oct 2013 483 posts	0 Spleen I was watching a mixed martial arts title fight yesterday, and after the match was over the defending champion, in addition to the usual branded T-shirt pulled over his head, had a set of Beatz placed round his neck. He looked like an utter pillock. If footballers wear them in the tunnel so they can psyche themselves up, that's fine. But he's not about to start listening to tunes when the MC is announcing the result of the match, is he? Were they even plugged in to anything? Certainly didn't make me want to rush out and buy a pair. If I see a pair of Beatz on the street I used to automatically think "wannabe footballer", now I will think "pillock".
Wobbling Oct 2013 10:54am, 15 Oct 2013 2,961 posts	0 Wobbling About 18 months ago, I was having dinner in a reasonably nice restaurant in central Manchester. At a table of three, (two chaps, one woman), one of the chaps was wearing Beats headphones round his neck, as an accessory. I had to bite my fist to stop myself laughing out loud at him, pillock.
