No joke, reach out to their customer support and see about getting them replaced. I got a pair that was defective (to replace a pair on warranty) and sent it back and got a working one.

Yeah, Sennheiser is usually quite generous with their warranties, one of the better companies in the audio space for it.
This would be my suggestion as well. Sennheiser should take care of you.
New rule: you don't get to fucking police someone's spending habits if you haven't fucking given them any money.
Nor if you have, for that matter. Fuck off with that moralism. Even having been homeless yourself does not give you the right to tell people how to live, you sanctimonious fucking pricks.
As far as I'm concerned every single homeless person on Earth has the God given right to beg everybody for all of the money and then piss it away on gambling, booze and drugs.
You often say, “I would give, but only to the deserving.”
The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights, is worthy of all else from you.
...
And who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed?
See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
Trees give fruits so they can nut in your mouth. Or reproduce wherever you take your next dump.
You're technically correct, but it doesn't mean these words aren't upsetting me on a core level.
But yes, they give that they may live (by means of nutting in your mouth).
were people doing that? 
oh yeah they were
I hardly even noticed. 💅
Queen.
heard this once in either a book or sermon but it's always stuck with me as I undo my own bootstrap brainworms
i've read plenty of different sacred texts in my life and not one says "give alms but only if you can get a full accounting of how it was spent"
If someone asks for a cloak, give them the shirt on your back also and a QuickBooks invoice to create a paper trail
yeah you're going to want a donation receipt so you can apply for a tax deduction, that's just how you incentivize the giving of means-tested alms
What's this from?
I had that screenshot and didn't have context, so I googled and it's from Craddock Stories by Fred Craddock. I knew the name because Jeremiah Wright once mentioned him as a preaching giant. Here's a profile from CNN.
slightly unrelated but I had to listen to my coworker complain about a homeless person he saw who was on his smartphone and smoking a cigarette yesterday. It wasn't enough to be homeless, you had to be a monk and a saint to garner his sympathy.
Ah rip. I hate Mercari. I tried to buy off there before for nice headphones and also got scammed but at least in this case the order fell thru and I got a refund. Only thing that confuses me, $300 for hd450bt? Those are like $180 new? Maybe Canada?
they said they were given $300 and bought the headphones, that doesn't mean the headphones were $300
Yeah, I paid $89 for them.
They are $151 CAD new on Amazon.
Found them for 135 on Amazon. And they obviously got them for cheaper on Mercari.
What model Sennheiser?
HD 450BT
Do you have the cable and dongle to plug them in at least?
:this: might be fixable
Addendum: I fully charged them and they’re still fucking off.
Any chance they just need a harder reset of some kind? Bluetooth stuff has annoying interfaces like "tap three times and hold" and things like that.
okay bear with me but you could, MAYBE, buy an identical pair on Amazon, and then when they arrive return the broken pair for a refund? idk if Amazon is smart enough to ever refuse shit like that, they seemed not to be
yes obviously this would require you to have the $$$ to make it happen, but, it might be an option rather than having some dud headphones
if you do that make sure it says it's sold/shipped by amazon and eligible for free returns or it might be a pain in the ass
If I were gonna spend money on another pair it would be a different model I think.
I mean the idea would be to replace the ones you got that are broken for free
