Jamie had been dreaming of owning a pair of XenoBlast headphones for months. Every YouTuber he followed swore they were "next-level sound," and the neon blue glow they pulsed with made them look like they came from the future. But at $299, they were way out of his budget—until he found a listing on an obscure site called TechSavvyDeals.
"Only $49.99! Limited Stock!" the ad screamed. Jamie didn’t think twice.
Three days later, a crumpled package arrived. Inside was a flimsy pair of headphones that looked like they’d been painted with nail polish and reeked of plastic. No neon glow. No noise cancellation. And when he plugged them in, they played audio—barely—through only one ear.
Jamie stared at them in disbelief, then laughed bitterly.
"Well," he muttered, tossing them onto his desk, "guess I learned what a rip-off really feels like."
He left a review, short and sharp: “Sound quality: 1/10. Life lesson: 10/10.”
