    Right here. I love my wired headphones.

    There’s kind of a catch here that explains why wireless has taken off. A lot of people do not, for whatever reason, respect the integrity of the cable and the strain relief at either end. Wires are this artificial abomination, a means to an end, and something to be contended with rather than cared for. They’re stored as a tangled mess, and recovered and un-tangled in a stream of stressed movements and much swearing. The result is broken, bent, crimped, strained, and ultimately broken wires.

    Instead, wires must be cared for in specific ways and that is a skill that just isn’t taught to everyone. It hurts my soul every time I notice this.
