Literally wiredhead/earphones are kind of the most beautiful analogue technology still relevant and accessible available to us today. I personally have earphones and it brings me such joy to just take a second to untangle them before popping them in like I think it's important to wait a couple seconds before receiving exactly what you want, no? Also it just adds a certain materialness to the listening experience that's very satiating. Getting to press buttons for the volume that click, getting to hold the wire that delivers my music to me, getting to wrap it around my phone or crumple it in my hand when I'm done makes it feel like a part of the musical experience, ritualises my music time no matter where I'm doing it, on the bus, in the grocery store, or even my parents' basement. I just love my earphones and I think everyone should feel like this picture of Sonam Kapoor in Delhi 6 at least once to feel the magnitude and magnificence of being alive at least once.

It is so refreshing to just plug your headphones into your phone and the sound just comes out! right away, no going through the whole connecting to bluetooth protocol.

i lost my airpods a while ago and because i don’t like wearing my huge over-ear, noise-cancelling headphones all the time, i got some classic wired headphones from apple for like 20 bucks. the audio quality probably isn’t amazing compared to other headphones, but where it lacks in audio quality (and practicality, frankly), it makes up for in sentimentality. wired headphones can take so many different shapes and they allow you to hear the music around you, like kids playing after school, couples bickering about stupid stuff, etc, etc. also, when it gets cold out, i love putting them under the hoodie or sweater i’m wearing and having them stick out and hang at the collar :,)

I still use my wired earphones. Noise cancelling and Bluetooth headphones are great for a jam out and I own a pair but I hate charging things (or more so I forget), I’m lazy and I love my wired earphones. Love to hear ambient noises in the background sometimes especially on a walk alone.
Also I’m a ceramicist and a painter, it’s just easier sometimes to be able to use my dirty hands to pull the wire and get them to pop out of my ears rather than having to clean gunk off my expensive Bluetooth headphones.

I went to visit Pakistan to see some family and was wondering what I should get my favourite cousin. A couple months ago she mentioned that she's always wanted a watch bracelet but never bothered to get herself one, so when it was time to decide what to get her, I had the perfect idea already!!

I've been listening to a lot of djo!! End of beginning is one of my favourite songs ever (before it went viral ty) and he's finally touring (DJOURING) and I'm trying to get tickets for my city while battling Ticketmaster. His new single "basic being basic" is out and on repeat for me along with lots of his older hits like "chateau" "Roddy" and "flash mountain", the song I'm most excited to see live, and of course, end of beginning!

I understand exactly what Joan didion was going through when she wrote that the only thing that gives her any peace in this chaotic unfeeling world is driving on the hot tarmac for hours on end with no one to disturb her.
