Hey, You Should Ditch Your In-Ear Headphones And Wear Big Ones Instead
A very important request.
Hey! If you enjoy listening to music on the go, chances are you own a pair of headphones.

If you work in an office with a person who is a VERY LOUD typer, or you're working out at the gym, or even if you're just trying to drown out the noise of a crying baby on a bus, headphones are a crucial item to throw in your bag alongside your purse and keys.
I've always worn in-ear headphones. For years I wore Apple's in-ear white headphones, mostly because they came free with a new phone and I'd be too lazy to buy a different pair. They were pretty easy to lose, and so I often ended up having to buy other cheap pairs of in-ears.
Even if the headphones are just sitting there on your desk, or in your pocket for five minutes, you pick them up and they're a tangled mess. You try to piece together how they got that tangled – did somebody take them from you and bunch them all up just to mess with you? Are they designed to loop around and tie up? Will you spend the next 10 years of your life untangling shitty tangled headphones?
In-ear headphones also fall out – or are yanked out – of your ears ALL OF THE TIME. Even the ones that claim to go all the way in and the ones that claim to clip behind your ear still somehow find a way to drop out. In-ear headphones are always yanked out of your ear, too, when they clip on to the corner of a desk, or on a stranger's jacket on the train.
Oh, and they break constantly and are easy to lose, so there's that too.
