Ok ok but look at the cheese!

Imagine a hunk of plastic in the shape of a burger

Jesus, i really didn't get any of what this was trying to say. Showering with headphones is perfection? A burger is perfection? This burger is perfection?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 0 points 5 hours ago

There are two memes here. The first is the image of a "perfect" burger (I prefer mine with lettuce and sesame seeds on the bread, but whatever) and the second is a joke about Americans needing burgers to be able to understand something.

It has a very round puffy top so it looks impressive

You can shower with headphones

Yeah, waterproof headphones exist ... but washing your hair is going to be a pain.

Better to just have a portable speaker outside the shower.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

It really isn't a problem. Even wired ones don't get in the way as long as the hair is over them. My hair is almost down to my ass, and the first headphones I ever used in the shower were cheap skull candy ones that were wired Bluetooth. No issues at all hair wise. No issues at all tbh, other than sounding like crap because they were cheap skull candy buds.

"Better" is always situational as well. Better for one person in their situation can change in a different place or time. You get two different people in different places with different needs, and "Better" is so subjective as to be useless as a term.

As an example: quality of sound. The portable speaker is going to vary massively by price when it comes to being clear in sound once loud enough to counter the water noises. Even cheap ear buds don't have to go as loud to bypass water noise because they at least partly block the sound from reaching the ear in the first place. Which means the sound can be better, and less likely to be uncomfortable due to volume.

Neighbors in close quarters, housemates and timing, personal preferences regarding controlling playback, hearing acuity, etc. There's a ton of variables in what's going to be a desirable condition for enjoying music while bathing/showering. So, no, a portable speaker isn't inherently better. It's a choice for sure, but just because one person finds it preferable doesn't make it superior

Not every shower is a hair wash. Especially if you have long hair and shower daily it might be say a 1:4 ratio.
I advocate for headphones in those 75% of showers. Can be very nice.

I don't even have good speakers, so this ensures best sound quality. It also skips the setup steps, if you then proceed to commute to work say. Just a continuous music experience, and you'd have had to put them on later anyway.
Very fitting for the olde 5min shower out the door maneuver.

Life, if people actually bought and used headphones in public instead of being fuckin shitstains.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 12 points 22 hours ago

It does not even look good. It looks like a toy and if you managed to swallow it whole it would likely come out of you looking the same.

Really how is that thing someones version of greatness?

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 79 points 1 day ago (4 children)

That burger is a horrorshow. Who the hell wants un-melted cheese? The bun isn't toasted either.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Also, seems to be missing the rest of the toppings. No way there's any lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, or any combination of the above, on there.

It’s hard to melt the cheese when the patty is so thin that a 3kmph wind for 8 seconds at 22C is sufficient airflow to cool it.

I always use a Bluetooth speaker.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

ditto. my aomais go has really good battery life has decent fidelity and can withstand an occasional droplet

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

i just prop my phone on the top shelf of my shower caddy and hope for the best

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Put it in the sink, the sound will amplify.

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Playing with water, I see.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

The trick is to be able to have flagship level anc, waterproof, Bluetooth earbuds, that have great sound, are comfortable, and have good controls, and perhaps have selective passthrough, all in realtime, that are also durable, good battery life, look good, and have repairability, all while not impacting the shower process and motions.

Like... These things are all basically the holy grail.

Edit: bonus points for being able to also wash your ears magically somehow.

Edit 2: or just make a silent shower with very good acoustic properties.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, but companies want you to buy new ones every year or two.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Instead of a burger it should be a pic of a goth girl with big titties and her feet and toes with black nail polish.

[–] orenj@leminal.space 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

sigh, okay foot fella, I guess I can buy in to your fucked up evocation of perfection, but only for all of the other parts of the image you've painted in my head.

A fake, gross, plastic borger. Perfection.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The fuck do You need shower headphones for? Put a bluetooth speaker on the sink like a normal person. It doesn't even need to be waterproof.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or even make your own passive amp out of a few bucks' worth of PVC.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 11 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Yay. If you don't count your time making it, you'll save $10 and have slightly louder, shitty, distorted mono sound...

You guys don't just randomly start hearing music inside your head?

[–] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 2 points 18 hours ago

Something wrong?

"The guitarist in my head hit a shrill harmonic."

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

🎼"DO YOU REMEMBAH?"🎶

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Ever see Hackers?

Remember the scene before Joey gets arrested where he's taking a shower? He had ziplock bags over the cups of his head phones to keep them dry. 😌
