I’m a shameless trendfucker so naturally I experienced a real crisis when everyone started switching back to big, bulky over-the-ear headphones. I’m also the sweatiest person ever born so I can’t deal with headphones that are too heavy or well-insulated– which is basically everything on the market– so these were a godsend. They’re such a weird and ugly fashion statement and make me feel like I work at a call center. There are lots of aftermarket color pads for the ears too which is fun.
