:-D

it's funny, too, because on Sunday I was considering going out to buy an air fryer to cook pierogies, with the express intent of having less cleanup. But turns out I would've had to sautee the onions in butter anyway, so why not just fry them in that pan....

:lol:

That's a nice deal but I think Bucky was more interested in something that can be handheld like a dust buster.

azrider did his research on this one. it's a two in one!

Designed for the way you live! This innovative stick vac is perfect for rugs and hard floors, and it converts easily to a hand vac. Just detach the nozzle & handle tube from the hand vac and you are ready for dust, dirt and crumbs on furniture, counters, shelves, upholstery and drapes. An on-board crevice tools allows you to reach around furniture, in tight spaces in corners, and along the edges. The lightweight design lets you move the vacuum from room to room and up and down stairs. It's smart, bagless design is easy to empty.

don't know if this belongs in the bitchin' gadgets thread tho.

Anyone have a recommendation for some blue tooth over ear headphones? I don’t need noise cancelling just looking for something a little more immersive than AirPods.

i've had really, really good luck with JBL's through their factory outlet on ebay.

bought everything from bt speakers to bt headphones. they got refurbs but most are new and less than 50% off.

https://www.ebay.com/str/Harman-Audio?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

didn't see any great deals for what you're looking for there... but if you check back frequently something pops up that's too good to pass up in a few weeks.

i've used these for the last few years. not sure if that's what you mean for over ear though. use them probably 15-20 hours a week for the last three years and they've held up no problem.

bill, you are looking for over the ear headphones and not around the ear earphones?

This is what I was looking at. Something similar to this Over Ear Headphones, Soundcore Vortex Wireless Headset by Anker, 20H Playtime, Deep Bass, Hi-Fi Stereo Earphones for PC/Phones/TV, Soft Memory-Foam Ear Cups, w/Mic and Wired Mode https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BKN8Q79/re ... QEb5T2DT4M
Full over ear not on ear.

ok, yeah... not a huge fan of those off brands, tried a few and didn't work well despite good reviews. if you are able to sit tight and don't need them right away, that jbl/harman site always has some great deal in a few weeks if you keep checking back. their shit is pretty solid.

Do you have these? I know the article says over ear, but these look like on ear in the pictures so I’m curious if they really are over ear.
