For years, I've considered myself an over-the-ear headphone purist. They're perfect for blocking out noise on the commute, and they're less likely to get lost than the humble AirPods (at least for me). But recently, I came across an issue – it's too damn hot to encase my dome, so what to do?
Then it hit me – I must return to the classics, so I finally caved to the wired headphone "it girl" aesthetic. Quite honestly, it feels great to be part of the elite society of wired wearers, and at only $14 at Amazon, it's perhaps one of the cheapest ways I've found to up my subtle pretentiousness.
While they don't have the same juiced-up qualities of the best wireless headphones, the unparalleled social clout of wired headphones is a joyful, nay, spiritual experience. From the romance of sharing an EarPod, to the effortless aura points that come from rejecting the modern AirPod, I urge you to join the alliance and embrace the wireditgirl summer you deserve.
