Been looking at headphone websites for hours and it amazes me how much diversity in images, low-key language (not market-speak), website accessibility and attention to sustainability is influencing my impression of each product. I hope this is a ”2018 effect”.

@UXMuch You’ve almost sold me. If only the f**kers didn’t use leather ;)

@johanwestling Oj, det var rejäl prisskillnad på dem också!
These headphones are the current leader of all the recommendations I've received so far. But this is not a decision I will make with haste....

@UXMuch Cool. This is a tough choice. A lot of money and I want to get it right. Have been looking at the Sony WH-1000XM2 up until your tweet. sony.com/electronics/he…
"Unique intuitive touch interface."
Sounds like an interface that works like nothing else I use. Beginning to think "unique intuitive" is an oxymoron.

@crouhana Didn't find these? Skullcandy have a Hesh 3, but they're not noise-cancelling.

@gkionify Absolutely, but if I can't activate hear-through I still wouldn't hear much. Walking the dog is another thing I guess, I like to be able to both pay attention to the dog and listen to podcasts... and then go into full noise-cancelling in the office.
@gkionify I have really liked my Here One:s but battery life is just too short in buds, and now they're also discontinued and not supported anymore, at the same time as one bud has stopped charging :/

@gkionify I was designing them in my head during my walk with the dog earlier.
@gkionify Mine would have a physical button to let in outside sound, e.g. for when I approach and talk to the cashier in the shop.
Looking for over-ear noise-cancelling headphones that can alternate between wireless and wired, as well as allow hear-through at will. Do they exist? #headphones

@scatteredbrainV My outlook is more dire. I see the world getting more complex and people struggling to understand how they fit in the grand scheme and how to contribute to positive impact. I probably should get my nose out of all these books.
↪ Replying to @val_brigatti
@scatteredbrainV True, I can see that happening in professions where people work with their hands, or with people. Esprcially where people are not pushing their own agenda onto others.
Reading and writing about ethical design sure brings you down many rabbit holes. One of them being: does anyone really know what the f**k they’re doing?
Nothing triggers my spidey sense like people who are convinced they know exactly what they’re doing, what the answers are and what you should be doing to reach your goals as well.
These are not listening people.

@JesperBylund I was at the gym doing deadlifts (and more) yesterday after 3 months away (for no good reason). Feel like this year is off to a good start!

@_erland Fantastiskt att de kastar om och skriver Vårdguiden 1177. 🤔

@lwelchman In Sweden public service radio and tv is pretty good. We pay a mandatory licence fee of about 300 USD per ”home” and year for this, if you have a receiver.
↪ Replying to @lwelchman
@lwelchman 🙂 Personally I find it increasingly hard to find quality content. Sifting through coercive content is costing me time and happiness. I would readily pay 10-15 USD per week across trusted sources. But that’s me. I think most continue to expect it for free.
@lwelchman Maybe replace ”coercive”, with ”manipulative” :)
