"We tried six speakers, then twelve, and finally we put in the Pittsburgh Symphony, yet we still feel something is lacking."

Dog with an ear trumpet listening to the gramaphone.

Here's your problem. You have an iPod.

At the rock concert...

'WHAT?!' (people with headphones on).

Earth with Headphones

Couple sharing earbuds.

Hi Fi

'Quiet with your crisps please, I can't hear the film.'

'It's more interesting as a radio play.'

Large hi fi.

"WOW...this 50.1 theatre sound system makes you feel you're actually in the movie!"

Gramophone Headphone

"Did you notice how the cables never get tangled!"

"Baldo, what's good for a headache?"

"I agree, humans are a nuisance, but just listen to their music!"

"Dad, I use music to hone my hearing skills, to improve my auditory reflexes, to fine-tune my tonal sensibilities."

"Attention passengers, did you hear that really important update I just gave? You didn't, did you? Well I hope that podcast was worth it because I won't be saying it again."

Gramophone dreams of mp3 player.

Music for car stereos

"Now that's what I call a sound system."

"Sorry!!", "What'd you say?!"

Fear and Loathing in Hi-Fi Land.

'Don't you think it's time for us to get a stereo?'

Sonic MOO

Hi Fi Shock.

'No, it's the new Dolby surround sound system, with extra woofers.'

Gym. Some people listen to music while working out. Rock music can provide an energy boost. Or classical music gives them a feeling of bliss. For me, listening to music while working out would be very frustrating. I would wish that getting fit was as effortless as operating a music player. Where to get reduced volume and better tone you just have to swipe your finger across a screen!

Confused Time Travelers. The guidebook says many people in 2018 have "ear buds," but I don't see anybody with tiny new ears.

Air Pods.

No stopping. I'm binge-listening.

The Scream Painting

Bunny hopping along to his MP3 player.

"C'mon man, I thought we were buds!"

'I said, why don't you buy some headphones?'
