Not a bad present just one I'd never use.

Im guessing that the OP makes a lot of noise late at night playing folk metal. Hence someone he is living with giving him these.

Are they actually headphones? People under the age of about 30 seem to have no idea what headphones are. The ones that go over your head are headphones. The crappy ones you stick in your ears that keep falling out are earphones.

Why anyone wouldn't want a pair of decent headphones is beyond me.

I really don't understand why you're so horrified at the thought of owning a pair of nice headphones?! If I was the friend who gave them to you and you told me you wouldn't use them I'd never buy you a present again. You seem to be really ungrateful. Sure we all get presents that we have no intention of using, it happens.
Keep them in your room or whatever. If your friend asks you how they are, say they're great and then talk about something else. It's not an inconvenience to you to own a pair of headphones, get over it!

Just don't use them, it's not as if you'd be expected to walk around the house with headphones on.

My current Sennheisers are 6 years old, have seen me through a degree in college in Music Technology and are hanging in there with the expertly applied duct tape by my father. D'ya wanna send yours on to me?

Why the mystery about why you wouldn't use them ?

It's because you've no head, isn't it.

You should try them out. Go for a walk with the headphones on and some music playing on your phone or whatever. You might enjoy it

Sennheiser make great (and kind of expensive) headphones. You might not be thrilled but I would be very grateful to your housemate, OP.

Personally, I think you can never have too many good-quality headphones and I would consider them a "safe" gift in that most people would have cause to use headphones at some stage.

It'd be a pity if they were never used so I would either try them yourself or give them/sell them to someone who will appreciate them.

Whats this dudes buzz

Why doesnt he want these headphones

No ears?
Allergic to plastic?
Is his ears his bum?

Im just confused

I wouldn't wear them either so I can see why the OP has a problem with them. Walking around with those massive ear-muff type headphones ya just look like a tool and ya cant wear a hat or glasses. The small neat earphones are way better.

The idea is comfort and sound quality. Not to look cool...I think that's it anyways. They aren't Beats

I actually love using my Sony studio headphones. I got used to them when I was sharing the huge living room (penthouse apartment) with my 2 kids and wife, 2 computers and tv in one room. Noise cancelling headphones were the only way to go. Now I like the sense of isolation and ease to wind down listening to music etc.

I'd be glad to get such a present and shows your gf has a good taste and did a good research.

Tell them you have a really really weak skull and they would be likely to crush it causing huge brain injury, apologise and start crying instantly....no one would ever challenge s crying person.

Larianne

Are they the massive headphones?

Just say you have a delicate head, suffer from migraines, so can't use them due to same.

Cr4pSnip3r

Store them or wear them to bed "to listen to music" and wake up with them broken because you accidentally fell asleep wearing them.

Throw the headphone part out the window then strangle your housemate with the cord.

Then strangle yourself a bit for being such a mongoloid

Hrududu

Just lie?

Housemate: How are the headphones?
Op: Great thanks

End of saga

OP, if you don't like wearing headphones because you're afraid Teddy is going to come along and take them off your head to talk to you, it's a fear we all understand.

We can help you if you just tell us.

cos they're a gowl?

i think this is viral marketing as i now want sennheiser headphones

bodhrandude

Maybe you play your music too loud and its their way to subtly hint that you should use the headphones when you're playing sounds not to their liking.

Only gowls start these threads as well

The OP has already said they would not use them due to a mixture of opportunity and practicality.

The best I can come up with out of that mixture of letters is Corrupt Politician.

I think the housemate/gf has seen this thread and strangled him with the headphones cable for being an ungrateful plank.

I wouldn't use them either, never use headphones or earphones. I'm clearly mental.

This has turned into one of those threads where I wish I hadn't opened. Come on OP why can't you use the freakin headphones? And give 'em to someone who will appreciate such an awesome gift.
