I go along, listening to music, and it’s all good. Then, one day, I notice something that isn’t going to stop me using these to listen to music, but they do look rough – my trusty headphones are disintegrating.
HARDCORE!

BTW, my favourite earphones evah did this exact thing, where the faux leather just started breaking apart – all of the sudden! They looked like complete crap, but still sounded decent. Soon, we kept finding black bits all over the house.

Oh man, these are definitely at the ‘little black bits all over the house’ stage.

You’ve had these a while? Could you buy a replacement?
LikeLike
Yeah, years. I couldn’t tell you exactly, but I bought them here so it’s less than 9 years.
I looked at Mall-Wart, which is where I got them, and nothing even remotely resembling them is available there now.

I’ll keep that in mind! We don’t have either of those stores in our town (nearest branches are two hours away), so it seems unlikely unless I ordered online. I checked, Amazon doesn’t list that model. 😦

Yeah maybe, but all of my dollars are aimed at records! I dunno, I can just pick the worst of the black crap off of them and live with them longer. 🙂

Dear Aaron. It is all downhill from here. That foam stuff will start to disintegrate, and soon thereafter there won’t be any comfort left. I give you 3 months tops.

Alright! 3 months! I can do A LOT of rockin’ in those 3 months!
Now, I’m not a betting man, but can get any takers for 4 months? 5? 6?

And hey, you shave your head, so no hair’d get stuck! That’s a great idea!

As if I needed YET ANOTHER good reason to promote the ultimate hair cut, yet another one just falls right into my lap. Brilliant!

Hey, Kevin started going bald at 20. I shave his noggin every weekend. Doesn’t bother me one bit. At least it’s acceptable for men to lose their hair. Unfortunately, not for the ladies…
LikeLike
Yup, it was right around then for me, too. I’ve already apologized (in advance) to my son.
I dunno, lots of ladies look good with shaved heads. Countless more with short hair (my lovely wife included). Think of the billions annually spent on maintaining and fussing with what amounts to pointless vanity. Sigh.

Also, you said noggin.

This is, too, I’m not even certain this is reason enough to replace them. I mean, I’ve had these so long and they still sound good. They’re comfortable on my head… I’m just used to them. So what if they’re falling apart a bit? Maybe I’m just a sentimental old fool…

We have two cats, but they are old and (relatively) lazy. No dogs… They certainly do look like they’ve been used as a scratching post for a mountain lion, but I haven’t found any droppings in the yard… Nope, just a long time in the trenches of the rawk.
