thats a nice price. All I really need them to do is play sound and block outside noises. Wireless might be nice but I don't care too much. And I really don't care about or want them to make phone calls.

I don’t even remember the last time I was in a Best Buy.

I bought these for my brother for Christmas last year. Have no idea how they sound but he uses them every day and says they're really really comfortable. I think they look pretty neat.

At work. Not sure if I’ll stay the full day. Stomach still isn’t 100%. Barely ate any of the Greek yogurt I bought yesterday. Finally said fuck it at the end of the day and grabbed a few burgers from in n out. Couldn’t even finish two double doubles and a thing of fries. :sad:

I just bought a new, unlocked phone from their website. that's about the only interaction I've had with them for a couple of years now, though I did briefly pop into a store last month to check out the phone in person but they didn't have one on display so I left.

Hang in there and try the yogurt again today.

I like Best Buy because I can see/feel items in person that they usually sell for cheaper elsewhere. But, Best Buy is also great at price matching amazon (as long as it’s sold and shipped by amazon).

I used to pop in to them on Tuesdays when new music was released and grab whatever CDs I was looking for. The one back home cut their music section down to like 1/8 of what it was like 10 years ago and so I stopped going in for that. Been in a few randomly here and there since then, but it’s seldom.

I'm trying to remember the last time I was in a Best Buy...

I think it was 6 years ago when I needed a cable modem for out house and they just started price matching Amazon.

Still have that cable modem, haven't been back to Best Buy since.

unless you are a complete audiophile and noise canceling snob, the mid to high $100 will get you a nice pair that is 5/7 noise canceling and maybe 3-4/7 audio.
I wouldn't necessarily call myself an audiophile but I can't stand shitty sounding audio. I can tell the difference between my old $20 Sony ear buds and my Shures, I vastly prefer the sound reproduction of the Shures. I don't mind spending a bit more to get something that is really good. It does look like the range will be $150-250 ish just from what I saw in bestbuy.

Also. Bestbuy fucking blows now. Littered with sales reps trying to get you to subscribe to shit. Nobody helpful.

weird, I just avoid the phone part but all other areas have been really helpful in my recent run ins. Ive actaully started buying more than ever there when they have some good sales + rewards.

I mean I’d buy a TV there. But nobody knew where anything was and couldn’t really help me because they were only there to sell internet subscriptions and cell phone plans.

Yeah the see and feel is why I stopped in.

Active shooter exercise. Nothing like being trapped in the office with the lights off and DFD.

Question for frequent business travelers....

Do you guys bring anything special with you on trips? I'm going to be bored out of my fucking mind for 2 weeks staying at a Best Western with a shared car with my boss that I probably won't be able to take anywhere on my own. Suggestions on things to bring?

I finally downloaded all my audio off my busted MacBook, and I'm bringing it with me.
Maybe bring a bluetooth speaker?
Wondering if a TV stick thing makes sense for Prime video / Netflix.
Pics of wife and doggie.

Anything else you'd recommend to make a shitty hotel feel more like home?
