We've all been there. Lured in by an ad, fell for the impulse buy trap, didn't do enough research beforehand... all of these are common reasons we might buy something then regret it afterwards.

For this reward, we want you to show us a tech product you regret buying and tell us why you regret it via a verified social media post!

Suggested tags: #JustCreators, #tech, #technology. Tag our social accounts too (details below)!

This is a cellphone cooler that I bought 4 days ago. I really regret buying it. The advertisement said "it can cool the cellphone in less than 1 minute, and has a very cold temperature. In fact, when my cellphone was hot and I used the cooler for 5 minutes, it didn't even cool it down and the heat didn't even decrease.

Still remember the excitement when I bought that PSP, then fall to the edge. Can't turn it on! They said I need to charge it first. After a day long charging, it still dead. Can't return it for refund because no adults want to accompany, they're all busy. (It's Eid Mubarak Holiday, kinda complicated just to take care this thing. But still, it used my own money that I got from big family. Still want to play it for once 😭

Then that adaptor for my Iphone5. They said it's original one but I only used it once because the phone already dead for eternity and I'm not using iphone anymore. Also nobody wants to buy it 😮‍💨

Wireless phone charger stand I bought like a week ago, there were no instructions or a list of compatible sizes so I just prayed it could hold my iPhone 14 Pro Max...
it couldn't.
10$ well spent!!

I bought this cup warmer for coffee, given the many hours spent on the computer. Useless, it doesn't even keep it warm

I regret having bought this fan for my cell phone since the publication said that it cooled on very hot days and when I was playing, which was a lie since the cell phone remained just as hot in the processor part, it only cooled the bottom part which was not very important if not the processor is what mattered that it would cool, that is why I regret having bought it.

here is the deal, i want a headphone that i can use for working out... i just love a tech where they can do almost everything in one go like this thing having bluetooth and cable at the same time

anyway lemme share some exprienced with this wireless headphone...
this is called soundpeats space i buy this cuz it have an audio jack so i can use it using cable and for external mic extender

i mean the feature is all great, there is ANC, good foam, gaming mode, have like 120 hours of playtime on battery

i thought it was going to sound decent and the material is good so im guessing it will be comfy af using it a long time....

but the problem lie here....

im starting to feel a headache after 30 min using it, the sound is crappy and the ANC is not really that good, mic is ok i guess and it can be switch out using mic extender

but for the price it ain't cheap for me

this cost around 70$ so its something that i regret buying it and i dont have any other pair of headphone..... so just stick with it

Thankfully, it wasn't the most expensive purchase, but I still regretted it. I wanted to create a nice sky atmosphere for my parents when they watch movies at home with this LED light projector. Visually, it's not too shabby, but sadly it makes an annoying humming sound that just ruins everything...
