So, I’ve been thinking about picking up some noise cancelling headphones since I work from time to time in coffee shops and other places that aren’t necessarily too quiet. I decided to look at some reviews of some of the less-expensive models to see if they were at all effective.
I found the following statement in a review of one particular model:
… there was absolutely no ambiant noise reduction at all if the NC was in “off” mode.
Hmmm … you think?
No wonder the bulk of our nation votes Republican or Democrat.
I mean … is the person in question so mind-numblingly stupid that they would make statements like the following?
… my TV won’t show any channel at all, cable or broadcast, if I have the power turned off!!!
My car won’t move with the ignition off!!!
I tried to bake a cake with my oven off to save energy, and even after 48 hours it still wasn’t done!!!
When I close my eyes I can’t see any more!!!
I hope not, but expecting the headphones to cancel noise with the noise cancellation circuitry turned off … well, it boggles the mind.
The best is still the manual I read that made the point that common sense was needed to run the machine and repair it. The manufacturer, however, could not provide that common sense, the repairman and operator for the machine would have to provide their own. Beautiful.
