Nobody complains about a shoe store having too many shoes.

Yeah, headphones again. We know. You’re tired of them. Look, we sell consumer products. We don’t create the market. We just leech off of it. And it’s just a fact that however you care to measure - by weight, by headcount, by monetary value, by biomass - headphones make up a significant percentage of inventory in the market.And why shouldn’t they? We don’t think twice about there being shoes for every imaginable situation and preference, from flip-flops to thigh-high platforms, from running shoes to wingtips, from chunky work boots to slinky little pumps. Likewise, there are headphones for different situations and preferences. Audiophile headphones. Athletic headphones. Gaming headphones. Headphones optimized for phone calls, for DJing, for sleeping, for travel. Headphones that go in the ear, on the ear, over the ear. Headphones that are open, closed, in-between. Headphones designed for comfort, for style, for durability. And headphones like these, designed to be lightweight and comfortable, and sound pretty good, and have some sense of style, and fold up for easy travelling.Only a hardcore Maoist would dismiss the range of different shoes as a sign of consumerist degeneracy. So let’s all just recognize that there’s a place for all different kinds of headphones, too, no matter how tired you are of seeing them.And no matter how very, very, very tired we are of selling them.
