Best headphones you'll ever own I promise, I got them on eBay for $50!!! There's plenty available on there so don't buy the garbage Best Buy carries ever again. They're from '82 btw and unlike the Sonys I bought last year I can hear out of both sides! I use them for everything: CDs, video-games, etc

Totally. I know what you mean about the crap that Best Buy (Wurst Buy) has- I wear headphones a lot when on the computer and have gone through several purported 'quality' sets which were nothing but cheaply made and EXPENSIVE. My best set is a set of studio earcups from the late 70s (the ones that look like huge half orbs on the sides of your head, my god they sound fucking fantastic; more so than than the Bose (Blatantly Overpriced Sound Equipment) headphones.

Technics CD player from '87, mostly metal, kicks the shit out of any other CD player I've ever owned. Oh and btw it's MADE IN JAPAN and that's why it still works and always will better than ANYTHING China or India can ever build.

The old Cd players were built like tanks. I have one from circa 85 in my living room that still works great... that is, the times I actually use it since I don't listen to a lot of CDs. The weak point in modern CD/DVD readers are cheap lasers that burn out after a while. Mine's a Teac.

I have a TV purchased in 1988 (give or take a year). To this day it works like a charm. Not a room away is an HDTV, my dad's. The difference in picture quality is slight, and there's nothing wrong with my vision either. HDTV makes things sharper, admittedly, but the difference in overall quality isn't steep enough for me to spend the extra money. Maybe I just got lucky and got a really nice TV.

I lost count of the number of customers who, when dropping off their NEW HDTV for repair, would bring up in some fashion their 25-year old set that's still running in the kids room/family room/kitchen. I can personally vouch for the quality of the electronics from the era The late 90s is when stuff started getting crap.
...dare I mention once more the 1959 RCA color tv I use in my living room daily?
