I have to tell you all, the dollar store is not the best place to get electronics. That is an established fact, we all know. But the other day, I decided just as a lark, to get some headphones there. You see my new computer does not have speakers. You have to attach them, or listen with headphones. I do already have headphones with some old Walkmans I have. But as I said, I figured still, what the heck. I was almost afraid to try them, due to my past experiences. But you know, these headphones arenโ€™t half bad. They work beautifully. I kid you not. And at the Dollar Tree. Write it down. I might as well tell you what it says on the back: > [@](#): > > PRODUCT SPEC: > > \*SENSITIVITY: 90DB > \*IMPEDANCE: 320HM > \*POWER CAPABILITY: 180MW > \*FREQUENCY RANGE: 20-20000HZ > \*PLUG: 3.5MM > \*STEREO > > CORD LENGTH: 48 IN Well, has the dollar store been vindicated, or is this just an isolated incident? ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Is it [these](https://www.dollartree.com/E-Circuit-Round-Over-Ear-Headphones/p414085/index.pro)? Because you could get a couple of dozen spares without having to go back to the store. ---

But now that you have provided an accurate picture, that is unnecessary. ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

You know whatโ€™s good at the dollar store? Greeting cards. Even at Target, greeting cards cost 5 - 6 bucks and more. So they have these large stocks of cards from a few, heh, years back. You can tell theyโ€™re old cuz the price on the back is like $2.25. The same mooshy sentiments and jokes they sell now. They recycle all the old material anyway. But you get them for a dollar, or even fifty cents. ---

Speaking of electronics, I got a powerstrip at the Tree one time. My family made sooooo much fun of me. But the thing was damn good. I have used it for 3 years, never a problem. So, to get back at my family everyone got one for Christmas that year. Cause I am revengful that way.๐Ÿ™‚
