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"

Usually people that ask me this aren’t asking in good faith, and don’t want to actually hear my reasons, so usually I just say “Because I like it. Do we need a reason to have hobbies?”.

If they are asking because they’re genuinely interested I say something along the lines of “I love music, and listening to it is one of my favorite experiences. Think of each headphone I have as a different listening experience. The reason I have multiple is because I want to experience music in many different ways. …also I like having cool things lol”
