    How much money should I spend on cheap or expensive headphones for music and for listening to videos and even for cell phone conversations, which may include a microphone, as well?

    Head phones can be as cheap as $1 USD, that is 20.000 VND, and some can be $400 USD, as in 8.000.000 VND, and the rest all between that. Some head phones are wireless and some have wires. Some have a microphone included while others do not. Some have a volume control while others do not. More expensive head phones are sometimes given the same exact cheap cord. Often times, the cord is the first to break. You may have seen this happen with your headphones. Joey Arnold

    • Nguyen Hong Ha headphone of hTC & Apple is the best , i work for a company assemble headphone , i know it very well
    • Original Oatmeal how are the wires?
    • Nguyen Hong Ha hTC is black , Apple is white , ask the phone shop , they will show you
    • Joey Arnold I am asking about the quality of the wires. This is a crucial question because I have bought all kinds of headphones in my life and I know what I am talking about. I have years of experience with headphones. When you pay more money for headphones, you sometimes get the same exact weak cord to go with it that will break soon.
    • Jen-jen Pableo i think you should choose the cables which are really flexible or soft ...i cannot explain much joey but it is closer to that
    • Original Oatmeal Jen, it is not that simple. I understand what you are saying but there is more to it than simply that. The cables are still cheap, even when the headphones cost more money. Cheap headphones come with cheap cables and expensive headphones often come with the same cheap cables that the cheap headphones come with.

      Unfortunately, people do not know this. They are unaware of this. People spend more money on more expensive headphones but they still get the same exact cables or cords or wires to go with the headphones.

      Fortunately for the headphone makers, they are able to sell more expensive headphones and make a profit because they are NOT giving you a stronger cord to go with the stronger headphones. If people knew this then people would stop buying the more expensive headphones because it lacks the proper integrity needed for keeping the headphones durable for generations to come.
    • Jen-jen Pableo ok no comments about that joey because i don't know much about electronics and i haven't use my headset , i preferred myself not to use headset 
    • Original Oatmeal Jen, do not worry. But you do not need to know about something to read about it. You can always learn about things you do not know by reading about it. If you knew everything then you wouldn't need to read anything at all because you would already know all about it. The same goes with meeting people. Sometimes I meet people and they ask me if I know them and I reply, "Do you want to?"
    • Jen-jen Pableo eheh yes,joey you are right
    • Jen-jen Pableo i learned or i knew something that i haven't wanted to know or to learn yet
    • Original Oatmeal You should always want to know.
    • Jen-jen Pableo i read,watched or heared things and then i knew without really asking myself first but they just suddenly came and so i knew 
    • Joey Arnold You have to anticipate it before it comes.
    • Jen-jen Pableo ahah but not really often joey 
    • Jen-jen Pableo for now,I am interested to improve my english because my english isn't good enough..
    • Jen-jen Pableo wanna learn to bake cakes after I get back home to Phils.this year joey...
    • Joey Arnold I want to improve my English as well.
    • Jen-jen Pableo oh,are you ??
    • Original Oatmeal that other man just blocked me on facebook
    • Nguyen Hong Ha you mean the copper wire or the outer sheath was broken ?
    • Original Oatmeal I am talking about the cord that goes from the headphones to the computer or phone or music player. Most headphones are built with the same exact cord. If you buy cheap headphones, you get the same exact cord to go with it. You plug in the cord into your phone, laptop, computer, music player, MP3, iPod, etc. If you buy expensive headphones, you may get the same exact cheap cord that also are in cheap headphones as well.
    • Jen-jen Pableo joey,let that man bkocked you. He is not your problem at all and that is his problem.
    • Nguyen Hong Ha I know apple headphone model B60 is very good , high quality , it was designed to use for iphone 5 , cord is aslo higher quality than others
    • Original Oatmeal I am trying to say that most people do this. When I talk to people, they usually say that they block people on Facebook whenever they feel like it. This is a general mindset that millions of people do in this world. I really do not care about just this one individual. I write so that everybody can see because other people block people all of the time. Many people block me all of the time. That is fine. However, those same people may also block others as well, people who may need their friendship. That may result in suicides, deaths, problems, because when you block somebody then that person may lose their will to survive like Padme did when Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, opps, SPOLIER ALERT.
    • Original Oatmeal I really hope that the cord really does have a higher quality. Some cords are made stronger and better and some are not. Sometimes it will cost more money but it will still not be a higher quality. Sometimes they lie to you. So we all have to be careful. How much money is the Apple B60 headphones?
    • Nguyen Hong Ha I dont know much about price, may be 30 usd
    • Original Oatmeal I need to go read internet articles and talk to more people first because I am still majorly and fundamentally skeptical and critical and uncertain about the quality of the cords. I will need to see more and read more about the facts about why some cords are made weaker while others are made stronger and why. I am always a man of research. 

      I do not really trust anybody in some ways. Even if my own mother says something, I will still want to do my own homework. I am not going to just trust my mother or wife or best friend or anyone. I will have to do my own independent studies and research on the subjects at hand and truly scrutinize it to death before making any kind of action one way or another.
    • Jen-jen Pableo ya joey as long as you had never ever done blocking people. it's in their conscience
    • Original Oatmeal Blocking people is not always a bad thing.
    • Jen-jen Pableo ya it depends on the situation... i mean that man who blocked you here on fb,
    • Original Oatmeal He blocked me because he thought I was yelling and stuff.
    • Jen-jen Pableo and so he misunderstood.
    • Original Oatmeal He made a premature assumption based off the pattern he sees from other people. For example, if you see a tree, then you know it is a tree if it looks like a tree and smells like a tree and barks like a tree. But then I come along and people think I am...See More
    • Jen-jen Pableo ya i can feel it too joey.. some people were just looking at a person's personal appearance without realizing the goodness of that person has inside and they are 'judgmental' in one word....
    • Jen-jen Pableo others may underestimate you but don't underestimate yourself and think you are greater and blessed than them.God is with you joey.God give you trials such as these because He wanted you to be strong no matter what. though you've been miles apart from your family but you still have them unlike others who had really or totally lost their love ones... have courage joey ! and scream I WILL SURVIVE !! eheheh

    Should I buy my own furniture? The less an apartment room has the less money the room cost per month. I could save money if I go with the cheapest rent. How much money would you spend on a fridge? I want a house key. I want over-night guests. I want a microwave. I want a washer. I want a TV. I want wifi internet. I want a bed and desk. I want drinking water. I want hot water for showers.

    How much money would you spend on these things? I would like to have my own room. It could be in a shared house. It does depend on the price. I will think about it. The less money the room cost per month then the less the room could have. The more money the room cost per month then the more the room should have. Joey Arnold. Joey Arnold. Here is a list of things I want in a room as follows:

    What I want in a room:

    1. House Key

    2. Fridge

    3. Washer (do dryers exist in Asia?)

    4. Microwave or stove, oven, for cooking

    5. Over Night Guests Allowed

    6. Fast wifi and wired internet

    7. TV with cable, bed, desk, chair

    8. hot water for showers and/or bath tub

    9. close to a basketball court

    10. less than $4.000.000 VND for the room for rent with everything included in that price. That means free electricity, water, monthly maintenance fees, secret costs, the cost for the fridge, washer, hot water, oven, TV, wifi, and anything else.

    I may not need all those things.

    I am not a tourist of Vietnam. I have been in Vietnam since Thursday, the 29th of November, 2012, that is the last 5 months. Why do foreign travelers come and tour Vietnam? What are they expecting to see that I do not see. What do they see that I do not see?

    I am not a tourist. I am a local Vietnamese American in Vietnam. I am not really Vietnamese but I kind of reject my United States citizenship. I do not hate the USA. At the same time, I do not see Vietnam as a different country. I am so serious. Why do people spend so money to go to other countries? They spend so much money to stay in really nice hotels. They waste their money just to travel the world.

    I lived in Hawaii for 9 months. People dream of living in Hawaii. I was not a tourist. I was a missionary there. I made friends with the children, the poor, the homeless. That is who I am. I am not just a tourist with a camera. Because I do not see other places as different than anywhere else. It is different in a way, but not in the same exact way. I am trying to say that while people go half way around the world to see new places, in doing so, they neglect and forget about their own home town and the people and places and things from where they are from. Being a tourist is fine as long as it does not corrupt your spirit like money does.

    I have wanted to travel the world since I was 8 years old, but I never wanted to travel the world as a tourist. When I go around Saigon, Vietnam, I look at the foreign tourists like I look at animals at the zoo. I look at them and I contemplate what they are doing in Vietnam.

    Because what does Vietnam have that other countries do not have? Is Vietnam the only country in the world with trees and bikes and streets and people and beaches and animals and rivers and bridges and hotels and people with brown skin and rice and flowers and tall buildings and clouds and rain and love and pain and crime and music and food and excitement and danger and families and grass and sports and boats and children? Joey Arnold. Marilyn Mitchell. Maria Arnold. Jen-jen Pableo. Rob Ngo

    What do the tourists see that I am not seeing?

    • Jen-jen Pableo and 5 others like this.
    • Jen-jen Pableo I have never been in Vietnam yet 
    • Marilyn Mitchell the culture is different, though, and that is important. I don't have a desire to stay in nice hotels and travel everywhere. I would like to see my relatives in Ireland and Scotland.
    • Original Oatmeal The cultures are exactly the same in Vietnam as it is in the United States and the rest of the world. I do not see any differences. Can you tell me the differences? I dare you to tell me the differences between the cultures. I double dog dare you.
    • Jen-jen Pableo I don't really know much Joey but for me,I'm not in my own country the Philippines because I am here in Malaysia for work and seeing this place at the same time though I'm not a tourist here. I still loved to go to another country to find higher salary than what I got here. I ain't really that sarcastic to take a tour in other countries but because I am aftering for work that has higher salary as I've mentioned. It doesn't mean that I'm rejecting my own hometown but just wanna see my life staying in other places and see what I can really get after all. But I'm still hoping for you to able to get the best thing you wanted to do for yourself and continue making things get better. I'm looking forward to read a book titled "joey arnold's journey ",one day. Wish you all the best joey and remember life isn't easy all the time. If you remember what I've said to you few months ago and don't lose faith joey. I believe you can make it through ...

    • Ngan Nguyen You just lived in Vietnam for 5 months. Original Oatmeal .Many different points about culture ex: In relationship family: You'll live alone when you're an adult in US. But you still live with my parent until you marry. About Freedom : Vietnam is less popular than US. You can do every thing for your self when adult But The adults in Vietnam still need their parent's agreement to do something.... Of course, It's used for 100% Vietnamese, only 70% or more . You can see the same same because you live in HCMC which is the most developing city in Vietnam.
    • Original Oatmeal Ngan Nguyen, I have been through the villages in Vietnam. I have been in Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hoa Binh, Saigon, and in smaller villages around these cities. I have seen many different things in Vietnam. In Saigon, there are many different districts. In a way, the different districts are almost like different countries from each other. The different Vietnamese people in Vietnam are sometimes like totally and severely different from each other like as if they are from different countries. They are sometimes so different from their own Vietnamese brothers and sisters and relatives and friends and father and mother.

      It really depends on how you look at things in life. I see things both ways. I see the differences and similarities in everything.

      I would do my best to discover the differences between 2 identical snow flakes or 2 identical twin babies or 2 identical water drops.

      At the same time, I would do my best to find the similarities between 2 totally opposite things that share nothing in common with each other, like the similarities between a car and a pen.

      Vietnam and the USA both have the same ingredients.

      Vietnam and the USA are contaminated with many cultures.

      That is what I see. I see a mix of cultures.

      Asian culture influences the USA. We have China Town in some of the larger cities in the USA. We have Chinese restaurants in the USA. I have met Asians growing up. I have learned about taking off my shoes, about kung fu, about bowing, about respect, honor, and the ways of Asian culture from when I was very young.

      I have always been aware of the differences that the world has to offer, which stems from the 3 sons of Noah, after the International Flood. Europeans stem from Noah's oldest son, Japeth. Asians stem from the middle son, Shem. Africans are the descendants of the youngest son, Ham.

      We are all related to each other.

      That is why we should overlook the differences.

      We use the so-called "Differences" as excuses for certain things.

      In the USA, every family is different.

      Every state and country and place and house is different.

      Every child is different.

      Each situation is different, as in not predictable.

      Some will live with their parents until they get married in their late 30's. Not everybody moves out of their parents house when they turn 18 years old in the USA or other countries.

      Some families in the USA are exactly the same as the families in Vietnam and other Asian countries, and never mind that some of those families that are the same in the USA are in fact Asians from Asia, but still, they are in the USA and that is part of why Asia and the USA are the same, because Asians live in the USA.

      The USA are losing their freedoms and rights.

      Vietnam are losing their freedoms and rights as well.

      The government in Vietnam is becoming more communistic and socialistic.

      The government in the USA is becoming more communistic and socialistic.

      Parts of Vietnam are developing.

      Parts of the USA are developing.

      Vietnam is becoming more poor each year.

      The USA is becoming more poor each year.

      People die in Vietnam.

      People die in the USA.

      People murder and steal and lie in Vietnam.

      People murder and steal and lie in the USA.

      I see the same in Saigon and in the villages as well.
    • Thien An Should we talk much about the Difference if it is not important for you? I just wonder what you will do for VN, for poor street children, for my country in case that you want to do some things here, not just talk about your seeing. I dont see you as American if you can enjoy yourself as Vietnamese, We can go outside, eat Vietnamese street food, talk about how beautiful the countries are, how kind people is and what should we do for our life.
    • Thien An people around the world have just shape different but the mind, the spirit, the human, the kindness...as you seeing
    • Original Oatmeal Improvement matters to me. It depends on the differences. But differences and similarities both mean the world to me because they both tip scales and balances in this universe. How we balance them determines the tides of the waves and the tides of our own hearts. 

      I am only in the business of innovation and improvement. It is about efficiency and effectiveness and quality. 

      On one hand, I hate tradition when there are better ways of doing something.

      But on the other hand, I am in love with certain traditions which can enhance our character and perspective and the way we live our lives, if the tradition and long preserved culture has the potential of doing eternal damage upon depravity in transcending the fads of the generations that come and go that are almost totally long forgotten.

      There are more individual universal-culture traditions than there are regional traditions. These universal traditions came from the dawn of time and they are still embedded inside each one of us. This is what makes us all more common with each other than we are different.

      We all share a common heritage that goes deeper and wider and better than mere blood.
    • Duy Nguyên you say a lot, but i think it's really meaningful ^^! !
    • Marilyn Mitchell SUMMARY IS: think for yourself, discover the truth, traditions can be good OR stifling, ALSO, we have basically the same needs and wants because we have the same creator.
