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.
