It's completely irrelevant to the article, but I can't believe nobody mentioned how many fucking headphones this person goes through lol

particulars of every purchase I’ve ever made – from the noir novel I bought on the day that Amazon UK launched to the 28th pair of headphones acquired in as many years

I absolutely tear through headphones. When they're wired, the wire breaks where it meets the earpiece. When they're wireless, the battery last like two hours. The USB port on my phone is long dead, and they don't sell phones with the old headphone jack that didn't break.

But I still refuse to be that guy playing music on the bus.

Get a tiny carrying pouch for your wired headphones and they will last a lot longer
