I Heart Headphones

  1. It’s Time for a Challenge: How Many Headphones can you Spot?

    Listening to your favorite music is not out of the ordinary.  The white earphone buds have become a standard to signify the downloaded music generation.  The average commuter that rests his/her eyes drifts away with the headphones securely tucked into the ear.  The shopper who doesn’t like to be bothered listens to their feel-good playlist with a pair of snug headphones cleverly disguised so he/she doesn’t look like their listening to his/her mp3 player.  The audiophile strutting down the street to the hottest tracks proudly displays his/her DJ-style headphones. 

    Almost everyone owns a pair of headphones.  It’s nothing out of the ordinary because everyone wants to listen to their own music.  If a person likes listening to old school hip hop, he/she won’t want to listen to the 15 year old teeny bopper’s music of choice, bubblegum pop. Although, it does depend on the person’s taste of music of course.  But the point is that headphones enable people to drift away listening to their choice of music.

    So on to the challenge at hand.  How many headphones can you spot in a given time frame?  Sure it seems easy to just count how many headphones you see, but what’s fun about just counting.  To make things a little more interesting, the challenge consists of documenting the headphones and creating something, anything.  From a video to a photo collage, you can take it as far as you can.

    Enjoy the challenge and good luck.
