Inferior technologies that just work better than the new stuff

Earbuds - As it stands at the moment, if I want anything resembling quality sound, I have to take massive headphones or one of those noise cancelling shits that go right into my brain. All I want is a pair of plain black Sony earbuds. They were cheap, durable and had solid sound quality. Sadly, they aren't being manufactured anymore.

All hail Sennheiser bro. [http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/sennheiser/mx_471/346451/] They're cheap, durable and sound amazeballs. Screw those weird earplug-like buds.

this isn't wuite the same thing...but reading off a scren is seriously inferior to print, not to mention you would NOT want to read on your ipad before going to sleep

all that said I'm probably cheating here because I have e-reader and e-ink is almost indestinguishable from print...but the same principle applies

I find that to, I got a tablet but reading from it well. It has ebooks for on the road but I rather read the actual book. Secondly when writing materials and having to edit it I can see grammatical mistakes and spelling errors much easier on paper.

Haven't tried an e-ink reader yet but maybe that feels more natural. For writing documents, editing it and making final prints nothing beats print.
