Cell Phone Producers and Missed Opportunities

As many of you, I depend a lot on my cell phone! Without it, I have no idea how to get in touch with friends and family because since the address book, I stopped learning phone numbers by heart. So if I carry it around and buy a nice one which can successfully replace a laptop for some tasks, I’d love to listen to music on it!

headphonesAnd here comes my problem! The standard headphones such devices come with. I hate them! My ears are a bit too small for them. So if they don’t fall out every 2 minutes, listening to my favorite songs becomes this painful experience making me switch back to my mp3 player that I can use custom headphones on!

I am not saying they should come with three different types of headphones in the standard package. But I’d love to see other options on their site, or at least a referral link to those producing them. But no! Luckily for me, when I want something, I’m pretty good at googling it. And I of course found an adapter for my new phone, which I will order after my vacation. Still, why loose the opportunity or, when a customer calls, say you have no solution for them when it’s actually very, very simple?

    Alina, I have the same problem with music devices, especially with the iPod. Recently I discovered Shure ear plugs, which come with foam plugs you can get in a variety of sizes. Sound quality is amazing. I don’t know why they don’t do some cross marketing with the cell phone/music player manufacturers.

    Hi Brad,

    Cross marketing would be really wise, as the big and strong phone producers would at least keep the customers happy, and that’s a good result for a marketing action :)

    Alina, I’ve had great problems with the ear pieces, especially with my Blue Tooth device that goes with my cell phone. I love it because it is hands off, so to speak. But, every now and then I have to retrieve it because it falls off.

    Not sure if they have foam for this, Brad.

    Hi Robyn! I had to be pretty careful when selecting my ear piece. But at least there are several compatible models you can choose from. Thank God we know how to google stuff:)

    Alina, next time I won’t make the decision when I buy a phone. ;-)

    Robyn, that would be a great idea, but a bit unlikely to happen. You need accessories right away, so most of us just buy everything we find on the spot. But if you manage to do it, I’ll join the club :)
