Sennheiser for Midget

E

in sympathetic view of Günter's eye - a good old friend - I slipped when he bought my very inexpensive MP3 player out of the hand laid. "Well," he said slowly, "nice toy ... But the sound quality is ... appalling." I quickly grabbed my player and grabbed him, because I was unwilling under any circumstances, give away him again. "So I think it's good," I said defiantly. Gunter raised his hand reassuringly. "Okay, okay. I say yes, very nice. But you should definitely build your clever earpiece. Earphones for an MP3 player, what are boxes for a stereo system! "Gunter was a career school teacher and loved comparisons. And I was thinking. Because what was in it. Although I really happy with the earphones was present. They adapted, and it came out music. Cautiously, I asked, "What do you mean now just" Gunter looked me straight in the eyes, was silent for a few seconds and then came triumphantly out of a single word: "Sennheiser" I leaned back, shrugged his shoulders and asked in return obtuse "Sennheiser" "Yep," said Gunter. "There is only one manufacturer who really understands what the sound. And the Sennheiser is. "We talked for a few minutes here and there, but I did finally convince me. A few extra Kophörerchen - why not the 2 € I had always desired.
Together we went to the Radio Department of Galeria Kaufhof. Günter beckoned one of the sellers themselves and announced that we wanted to buy headphones for an MP3 player. The salesman pointed to a shelf and started to turn away, as Gunter said the magic word: "... Sennheiser Headphones" "We are looking for a ...", again a little dramatic pause, the seller was right there and saw Gunter from one moment to the other with completely different eyes. "Ah," he said with an appreciative glance and then condescended to lead us to a special shelf. I saw the shelves already from five feet away, that I would not come to my scheduled 2 € wide.
The salesman shows Günter one piece after another, they immersed themselves in any technical details, which I did not understand much. But I knew something about money and pushed all copies beyond the 20 € limit on the page. This was clearly too much to me. At best, this MX500 for 17,50 € was acceptable. Reluctantly, Gunter said that although it was only mid-range, but at least it was a Sennheiser. Then they exchanged even over the fact that it was the model in black and white and the new series for all the poor white guys would be wanting to look like iPod, but most could afford a Lidl player. Bucky, I took the white, because I liked the way things are. Gunter sighed, pressed her lips together, the seller, I paid.
Direct outside in the pedestrian zone forced me Guenter, try out the earphones. He probably wanted to see my absolutely radiant face. Well, I like him and so did the favor. The sound was really good (even though - soooo big prior to my headphones, the difference was not back then), I beamed, so Gunter had his joy and had my MP3 as usual stick fall into my pocket. At that moment it flashed in my ears and my darkened mine.
I said accusingly to Günter: "The cable is too short!" Gunter shook his head in disbelief. "You must be mistaken - on the package was., Cable length 1.20 m ', that's enough" also important to say that Gunter is with his dwarfish stature of 1.69 rather - while I bring almost to the 1.87 meter rule (morning - evening it is rather 1.86). Therefore, it did absolutely nothing, that he was now himself the instrument in hand, the earphones einstöpselte and proved to me that for him the cable even schlackerte. That made him too, and he urged me to repeat the procedure. The MP3 player floated freely in my pocket and put it on my ears. Now I Günter reached into his pocket to check to see if I was not lying about the player unfavorable. I tried to push away him, because I was very embarrassed when I reached the middle of the pedestrian zone, a male person in the pants pocket. Günter thought after a few seconds, then his face lit up and he jumped up short against the pharmacy. After 2 minutes, came in, he dances with a pack of pace, pulled out all this from the shell, making a bigger ball and tried to push this to me in the pocket under the player. At that moment, came by my colleague Heidrun, which I called out, it was not so, it would look like. She waved a hand, said that she was tolerant and that I should bring my "sweet little friend," quietly to the next company party.
Now it gave me, I was at a distance of Günter and also removed the tempo.
Gunter looked at me thoughtfully and said, "Bend your head slightly forward yet." In fact, if my head at an angle of 30 degrees and then leaned forward took a slightly stooped posture, everything worked perfectly. Now it was also Günter happy again and he said, "You see, with good intentions but is everything," Luckily Günter lived far away and had to go back. After he was gone, I put the Sennheiser headphones in a drawer, dug out my old headphones again and was happy.

(PS: I've really gained the MX500 you really know you are really too short...)
