As a product, they’re not necessarily offensive. Except I don’t think they’re being used in people’s bedrooms as much as they are being used on various forms of public transport where – neglecting the invention of the headphone – they’re broadcasting their appalling choice of music to a wide audience in a confined space.
On my next train journey I shall be armed with a large hammer with which to smash the next one of these I hear. Consider this a fair warning.
