I think Amazon is losing the plot.

Hello [REDACTED], Looking for something in Webcam & Headset Bundles? We have some suggestions for you.
Then the message body is offering me these: "HP LaserJet M209dwe Wireless Black & White Printer" and "HP LaserJet MFP M234sdwe Wireless All in One Mono Printer" Pretty sure those won't sound good strapped to my head ... :-D

Well, I just bought an Anker Soundcore Q20i wireless headphone and was pretty amazed by what it offered at less than 40 Euros, it even has ANC. A bit too much bass for my taste though, but with the equalizer in the app you can normalize that.

I think this is how marketing works: 1. get your attention with one thing 2. change your attention to another thing 3. confuse you so you are thinking about both things. 4. YOU WILL BUY BOTH THINGS NOW!!!! YOU'RE MIND IS CONTROLLED BY OUR ALGORITHNMSS!!! 5. Resistance is futile!!! 6. Logic is illogic and illogic is logic!!! 7. You will buy what we want you to buy. 8. All your base are belong to us :rolleyes:

I've never seen it laid out quite like that, but I agree!
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm still fine with my Sennheiser HD<can'trememberthenumberandhaveLawOfTheCat> - they are 20 odd years old, on their second set of foam and wiring, still are comfortable and excellent sounding. They are however completely useless and printing stuff ...

Also the curiosity poking email with the obscure item in the image with the unrecognised name at the top of the email. The thing is always the last in a list of other mundane objects they are really trying to push onto you. So I now start at the bottom find out what it is, and it's alway something that I have not the remote interest in, but I gain a little more knowledge so I think it might actually be from Amazon Education :)

All I can imagine is, Amazone recognized you run a 3D printer and you recently googled for a headset. And finally they mixed all that up with their AI algorithm. Now it is up to you to order a black&white headset ;P :laugh:
Start to worry when they offer you an Smith & Wesson headset. :sigh:
