How do you justify our shared addiction to other people? (alien.top)

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"

Hobbies are for our senses, pleasure, and well-being.

I explain that experiencing music in new, stimulating ways is giving me a lot of satisfaction and sparking my own creativity and ambition (I'm a hobby musician).

At that point, people usually stop asking. They probably get bored, but one or two friends actually got curious and asked me for headphone recommendations. You never know whom you might infect. :)
