Toot

I’ve been on the hunt for an easy way to carry my iPod around. I found this grave grenade pouch at the army surplus. It works, but looks a little silly.

@mntyfrsh oh geez! I’m sure I can find a cheaper one on eBay or Etsy, but I’d love to try and find one locally first. Maybe in a pawn shop or something.

@jlog these are Linsoul brand headphones. For the price, I think they are fantastic. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C73X3P8B?ie=butts

@docpop

I didn't know that anyone still used an iPod! Which model do you have?

@godzero this is my 5th gen iPod. It has 30 gigs and is also running #Rockbox. It also has a new battery, but the original drive.

I also have a first gen iPod Mini that I freaking love, but wish it had more than 8 gigs.

@docpop

Cool! I never had one myself as I had a player from before iPod times. I bought one each for my 2 kids in 2008, whatever that model was. I've been using my phone as a music player for at least 10 years but it might be fun to find one of the later iPods.

@tomjennings @godzero Tangaras look awesome. I'd buy one if I had the extra cash. A few thoughts:

@docpop @godzero

Oh yeah, iPods were/are one of those sweet comings together of tech and culture. They do one thing, very well.

@noathetoa they are Linsoul SIMGOT EW200, are you familiar with them?

I found them through a reddit post about good in-ear headphones. Maybe this post https://www.reddit.com/r/iems/comments/1bpwhy4/best_budget_iems/

I also have some over the ear headphones that I picked up at yardsales that I really love. Especially the Plantronic Voyager which can have a wire or use bluetooth and has noise cancelling.
