Headphones have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was an only child, and on long summer afternoons, a flimsy, foam-padded Walkman pair kept me company under a blanket fort. My next set was a pair of plastic Sony earbuds connected by a thin metal headband: a survival tool through socially awkward tween years. By high school, I’d sit up late at night listening to mixtapes of bands my parents didn’t approve of, my gray-and-black sport headphones acting as an umbilical cord to the freedom I was sure would come with adulthood.
