Go do farm chores with wired headphones on and tell me they're better. You're gunna come back electricuted, broken head phones or missing a finger

I did farm chores for years with wired headphones, never had these issues. Not enough voltage for electrocution in a headphone wire, and you run the wires inside your coveralls.
You've never caught your wire on anything? An alligator clip on electric fence, barbed wire, a branch?
Guess I'm retarded then because I get caught on shit even when I don't have headphones on.
Or your property is just thornless and pristine.
I grew up on a ranch with ~200 head off cattle. It was on the plains, so there wasn't much for trees or bush, just what my family had planted over the years. I did a lot of fencing, barbed & electric, and barn cleaning, bale picking, plus taking care of the yard. I just ran the wires inside my clothes, and kept the player in an inside pocket. Not much room for wires to get snagged between the back of your neck and your ears.
