Good Earphones and Headphones Day

Today, and November 18th annually, is Good Earphones and Headphones Day. The anniversary was established by Time Machine Co., Ltd., who operate the earphone and headphone specialty store "e☆ earphones". The date is supposedly a pun on how the 11 of 11/18 can be read "good" and the 18 as "bad". I don't personally get the connection! 

Regardless, the purpose of making November 18th "Good Earphones and Headphones Day"  is to convey the appeal of earphones and headphones to the world. They are certainly very useful. They allow you to enjoy music anytime, anywhere. In addition, they also allow you experience a live feeling with immersive sound. They can create a quiet space too, where you can concentrate due to the noise cancellation properties they can provide.

Nowadays, earphones and particularly headphones come in a wide variety of designs and functions. And most of them are wireless so you can easily hook them up to your smartphone or other devices. They make a really great present for teenagers too! Do you own a "good" pair of ear or headphones!?
