Over-ear studio headphones, yeah, I expect those to last for a long ass time. But in-ear? Battery or not, a lot of those just get beat to shit after years. Even if you’re buying some nice IEMs. Been this way for as long as I can remember.

That's just a you thing, the two I mentioned are earbuds.

Fair enough. I’m a drummer, so I’m hard on everything. 😆

Put them in a case with a silica packet? What's wrong with your IEMs?

[–] simplejack 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I can’t. I ate the packet.

how are you still in the simulation?

The packets don’t remove you. They dehydrate you until the next stable era.
