When DJ Octoon goes running, DJ Octoon listens to music.  And his headphones of choice are the Philips Earhook Headphones (known to inventory specialists and bar code scanners around the world as the SHS8000).

Philips Earhook Headphones

Or at least they were his headphones of choice.*

I’m not going to dwell here – nor continue writing in the third person – but I’ll just say this: I used to HATE running…that boring, monotonous, BS exercise.

Then, about four months ago on the recommendation of running guru/Twitter Queen @notorias I threw down $30 and bought a pair of these bad boys.

And now I don’t just like to run, I freakin’ look forward to it.  (WTF!?!)

I HATE stuff in my ears (INSERT dirty joke) but these fit perfectly, wrap around snugly, and let you run, box, jump, yoga (is that a verb?) and do ANY athletic activity wearing them.

And how do they sound?  Not to get too carried away, but it sounds like a goddamn rock concert in your head (But better, because speakers suck – headphones rule!)

But then a week ago they just stopped working.  Stopped!  Guaranteed for 12 months, I long ago threw away the package receipt and all that other bullshit.

Bad move.  Since I got them online, I have no way to return them or get a replacement pair.  And I just feel silly calling Philips up and saying, hey, I got your headphones on the Internets…*

So, if you hate running/working out, but, I don’t know, want to live a healthy life and look good and all that shit, pick up a pair of these suckers.  They’ll change your life.

But keep the receipt.

Seriously.

I don’t know if this is ethical, I just want a new pair of headphones.  Plus, I’m a goddamn radio DJ, not an ethics professor.  Seriously…
