How do you all explain to people why you want multiple pairs of headphones? Do you go for the "I'm a collector" route or do you go for the "no but they're all different and have different uses" route?

Because my family is very confused as to why I want multiple headphones and honestly can only explain it as a "because I really like them"

Why do some car nerds have more than one car? A sports car or vintage classic doesn't take you to work any faster than a VW Golf.

Why would anyone get a fancy camera with nice lenses when it's so much more convenient to use a phone to post to Instagram?

Why does anyone pay money to go to a nice restaurant, or take the time to make an intricate dinner when you can get most of your needed nutrients from a basic bean salad?

Audio and music is like wine or whiskey. You don't need any prerequisite knowledge or experience to get wasted on a bottle of Jack Daniels. But when you start to notice the finer details, you might end up with new appreciations for it, and maybe the desire to learn more and try new and different experiences.
