What should I buy? ($40)

Okay well I've got $40's worth of certificates on my Reward Zone at BestBuy.
What should I spend it on?
I've got a backpack and logitech G5 Mouse, and I've got a keyboard, any thing else you guys can think of in that price range?

 

*resisting the hundred answers that would get me banned for certain* XD

Since you're overclocking... laptop cooler?

 

Some headphones/speakers?
An external hard drive?
A bluetooth headset for your cell phone?
A game?

 

I had a $30 bestbuy certificate but it expired before any of my parents went over near the mall
I wanted to get a pack of dvd's or cd's

 

@Dragunov-21. Thanks fellow CoD4 player (Judging from your name). But my temps are good without one till summer

@Avanish: Headphones sound pretty good, any one know of good IN-EAR headphones? Since I'm laying on my side most of the time over-the-head headphones normally don't work for me for obvious reasons
Suggest the best in-ear headphones I can get from bestbuy for $40?

@erwallie: Ouch, I'm sorry man. I've got dvd-r's and cd-r's right now though

 

Headphones?
Gamepad?
Game?
Monitor? ($40!)
Hard Drive?

Anyone heard/tried/know the quality of those?

lol monitor for 40$

 

If only that day was now.

 

One day man... One day..

 

HORRIBLE. My friend bought those from staples for $50. No bass, they fall out of your ears, and I thought they were pretty uncomfortable.

I have those. The bass is AMAZING, and they seal out any outside noise. The only bad thing about them is the crappy build quality. I'm on my third pair of those.
The part that attaches to the silicone ear insert just snapped off on the first pair.
The second pair's wire broke where it connected to the plug. I had to jiggle it around and find a place where the wires could touch to get it working.
The third pair seems to be made of a different material than the first 2, so hopefully they're made of higher quality.

If they break, just go back to bestbuy and exchange them. That's what I did the past 2 times.

 

Thanks man, do you think they'll be good for gaming sounds?
Also how loud are they? Like when I'm on yahoo I use the "Call" feature and so I listen to people talking through their mics alot with earphones, Think they'll be loud enough to hear the people talking and have my TV on?
Also if I opted for over-the-eat headphones, which would be the best ones of those as well?
Thanks for the help.

 

$40 should get you a better laptop than the one you have in your sig.


>ducks<

But seriously, maybe a game? Or a lock?

 

I've got 4GB and only use 2.3GB max.

Really? Dang, maybe I should donate the money to you, if I could get a better laptop than in my sig for $40, what you could get would be a dream machine compared to yours.
Kidding

I'm good on games right now, have like 5 to beat still haha.
Not sure If I need a lock really.

Really interested in good earphones. Might go with those skull-candies

 

flash drive?

 

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8978403&type=product&id=1218004379967

Think those are any good if I opted for over-the-head ?

 

Hmmmmmmmm I would probably buy a flash drive. Personally I like to use my flash drive as my backup device. They are fast, store alot of data, and best of all, you can ge them for pretty darn cheap nowadays!

I picked up a 16gb PNY "attache" jump drive for $35, brand new!

Just a suggestion!

 

Hmm I usually like to use CD-R's for my backups. So not really in need of a flash drive at the moment

 

get a game or some music you would really like.

I'd say go with headphones
My brother has a pair of skullcandy in-ear headphones and they sound good

They are quite comfy as well

 

I've definitely heard good things (pun!) about Skullcandy earphones, though I've never used them. My roommate seems quite satisfied with his.

If you're looking for over-the-ear headphones with good volume and bass, I recommend Koss. I have a pair right now that are over a year and a half old, and they still sound as good as new. I even managed to accidentally strip some of the wire insulation about 4 months ago, and they still perform as well as the day I bought them. That's durability!

I got this particular pair at Wal-Mart for around $30, so I imagine Best Buy would have something similar, in a similar price range.

I also like Sony headphones, but their good models tend to run a bit more expensive.

 

They're good for just about everything in my opinion. In CoD4, the AK-47 sounds like a freaking Jackhammer with those in

They're very loud. I put the volume to the max it can go on my laptop, and they could be heard about 8-9 feet away.

I was listening to music a couple of days ago during study hall. People were talking, and it was very loud. I couldn't hear anything with these headphones on. I actually didn't hear the bell ring when class was over. I realized it when everyone started to leave

I'm worthless when it comes to over the ear Headphones, so I can't help you there lol.

 

Thanks guys, I think I've come up with this idea:

Get these with my certificates:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8483697&type=product&id=1186003259156

My girlfriend has them and so I know their sound is outstanding.

And put some money out of my pocket and get these for when I'm working out and such:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8358234&type=product&id=1177112902751

Good or bad Idea?

 

If you're looking for in-ear headphones, I would recommend the Sony EX-85's. I have a pair that I got for a bit less than $40 during the holiday sales, and it's great - fits perfectly with the standard plugs (although they provide two other sizes) and has great sound. The bass is surprisingly good for such an affordable headphone. My only critique would be the excessively long cord, which I think should be more reinforced (thicker).

 

By the way Avanish:
When you said you returned them twice, is there a time limit you have to return them at the bestbuy?

Thanks Midnightsun, I don't have $60 to spend right now though :\

I'm going to get those over-the-head Skullcandy headphones for my gaming and stationary use.
So now I just need a good pair of in-ear buds for my working out and mobile use.
Are those Skullcandy Smokin' Buds the best for $30 and under? Thank you.

 

Buy Batteries!!! .

 

Yeah... I so need batteries for my rechargeable laptop and the wired keyboard and mouse I have.....

 

Never know when that laptop might need Double As

 

Haha unfortunately I don't think a double A in this huge thing would even power the media buttons lights
Wouldn't it be nice if we could use regular batteries to power our laptops when our batteries died when your mobile?

 

All of our energy crisis would be solved!

 

bank it!!!

every little helps

fattail95

 

I bet they'd raises the prices on batteries though just to screw us over

Its not cash, its bestbuy RewardZone certificates since I've spent $2000 over the past couple weeks there. So I've earned $40 worth of merchandise from them, which expires june 6th. So yeah.

 

Scalp it, then bank it! XD

 

I bought mine from Staples. I don't know if it's the same for both, but usually they let you exchange for the same product as many times as you need to within the specified warranty (usually 1 year or a lifetime warranty). Again, you might want to check if it's the same with best buy.

 

I just got a pair of them earlier, they're loud as heck
I'm liking the sound of them, cant talk about the durability for obvious reasons (Just got them)
I notice if I don't push them in deep in my ear they may fall out.
How do you wear yours? Pushed in like your holding your fingers in your ear ignoring someone, or flimsy in your ear? I notice when you push them in a bit they get lower because they close your ear. I find it best for me to push them in right where my earlobe holds it in place. Same as you?

 

Hahaha. I'm good

 

get a 32 gig jump drive

 

Congrats on the headphones man

Which ones did you get in the end???
Sorry, been outta touch last few days

 

Thanks bro.
I got the Smokin' Buds right now. Bestbuys return policy is 30days so I'm gonna give these 2 weeks trying them out than if I don't like them they're going back

 

LOL will they give you money or a new coupon ?

 

Nice
Not sure of the exact ones my bro has, but they seem to be good quality

Stress em to the max in these two weeks.

LOL
Imagine that
'Nother $40 coupon

 

I asked the same thing ! Haha.
They refund the certificate back to my account

 

Yeah I'm using them like crazy, so far they're pretty dang good if I might say so myself.
Though after using them a bit I might return them to test out other ones in their price range, if those are worse, return those, buy a new pair of these, and I'm good to go

 

I like your style my man
You should try a few out then choose

I can;t find any good ones here
My brother got his from england in the summer
Shoulda got a pair, oh well....

Happy listening

 

I shove them in as far as they can go. They make a noise kind of like a suction cup whenever I've gone far enough.

 

I've heard that sound too

Sort of Vacuums shut for the ultimate fit

 

Chyea man, only one way to find out whats best for you right lol

Which ones have you tried so far bro?

Alrighty, yeah I do the same thing, when I first put them in they're low because my ear is completely shut basically, 3seconds later they naturally back out of my ear just a tad bit and thats where they have the best sound.

 

Exactly what happens to me.
