   I think I don't trust RTINGS for headphones >_> I just spent an embarrassingly long time trying to filter down to something I can wear for hours and hours without getting a headache before I realized their comfort ratings are total nonsense and their whole deal is just scoring things on different axes of "premium" feel. There is no world where clamping a 1lb bluetooth weight to my head is going to be "comfortable".

     ima let you in on a little secret: If you want the ultimate audiophile experience buy one cheap comfy pair of dogshit headphones to wear every day and one pair of cheap(ish) extremely ok headphones for special occasions.

     I once had a pair of Expensive Headphones so good I shit you not they moved a grown man to tears once. When started I wearing them every day I hated them because they turned into a pair of normal headphones that gave me headaches after a few hours.

     In the other(ish) news, beloved local Milwaukee brand Koss has embraced the fact that their cheap tier is endearing to some (me) and also they have an entire product category for clear plastic now. 00s nostalgia is finally here awawawa. Which is funny, because I do not remember them selling clear headphones back then...
