Similarly-sized things I’d rather schlep around than Beats headphones:

• Sunglasses. Helps my eye health instead of (potentially) harming my ear health.
• A tennis ball. Brings more joy to a restless mind and / or dog.
• Pen and a notepad. Learn by thinking, doing and creating.
• A water bottle smoothie bottle. Stay hydrated and energized.

Yes, Beats are cool. And they sound is pretty good.

But I’m sticking with ear buds and the freedom to schlep something more valuable yet less expensive.
