A while ago I bought the splicer cable from Startech to use with my PS4 and Xbox One controllers. Immidietly unusable. The headphones slip easily right in. Repeat for 2nd cup. Baer refers to things in the past (from the previous 2 books) and although you dont have to understand what he is referring to, it makes a more enjoyable read if you do. They still are comfortable in ear if you use them for that, but a little hard, so be careful not to press too hard if you are accustomed to a thicker cotton swab. Cute, but no guarantee theyre the real deal. The Phone Book: The Curious History of the Book That Everyone Uses But No One Reads by Ammon Shea was written in 2010 but even at seven years old I take issue with the statement that everyone uses it. I was not happy. A problem I never had with the previous version.
