Open-backed headphones in public will have everyone around you hearing your music no? Doesn’t seem suitable for public transport for example.
And I just don’t like in-ear anymore… Used them for about a decade but it’s always discomfort and trying to get them in just right, and I tried so many models. Not to mention you need to clean your ears all the time or risk pushing the wax deeper into your ear canal each time (or getting it all over the ear bud)
For me personally, the sweat is a small price to pay for the comfort and sound quality of over-ear headphones. Plus they’re harder to lose!
I’m not sure this is an ADHD nod, just poking fun at the irony of conflicting urges.
I’ve definitely felt this kinda weird urge, although once I get started and get the “fuck” and “no” urges I’m usually too invested and stubborn and stupid to actually stop.
