My Earbuds Case Got Stolen So I Switched Back To The iPod

 

 

And so today I was walking on the street when a friend of mine saw that my bus was coming, so I naturally start running to it without noticing that I was missing something.

I bought this pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for 20 euros only about 5 months ago. They were used, but original of course. They looked so mint that I am not even sure if they had ever got used any time before.

Anyway, today I was wearing them like I always do, but this time (and for the first time ever too) I put the case inside of my hoodie pocket instead of the denim one. When the bus was coming, I naturally ran to catch it, but after a kilometer or so, I noticed that something was missing inside of my pocket: it was the case.

I started panicking so hard because I cared a lot about them. A pair of Buds 2 Pro in mint condition for just 20 euros isn't something you see every day.

I immediately called my friend, and when I told her that my earbuds case was white rectangular shaped, she immediately understood everything. She then started telling me exactly how it went.

She did not notice at first that the Buds case fell out of my pocket, but she spotted a white rectangular thing in the middle of the road after a minute or so. She told me that a car had ran over it, and that the protective case had like exploded, making a massively loud crackling sound. Immediately after, a delivery guy showed up, he looked at her strangely, then he picked up the case and flee on his electric bike.

If she only knew that they were mine, she would have definitely picked them up. She did not even had the time to understand that it was an earbuds case, that they were already gone.

I luckily still have the Buds as I was wearing them when the accident happened, so all I need to do is finding a replacement case for a decent price. I am currently looking on the used market to find original ones but I highly doubt I will find any in such a good condition. As I said, mine looked like new.

In the meantime, I decided to start using an iPod again. Before getting the buds I already used one so it won't certainly be hard for me. I still used it at home paired with a pair of Fiio JD10 which sound great for the price.

Since in my collection there's more than one iPod, I luckily can choose every morning which one to take. I am gonna take the 1st gen Mini tomorrow because of its clear and sharp sound. When I am looking for something more relaxing, I usually take a 5th Gen (Video) which thanks to its Wolfson DAC, it can deliver a deeply warm sound. The Mini has a Wolfson too but it sound very differently. Even better for my preference as the 5th Gen tends to clip when a lot of bass comes in.
