I am starting to shift my perspective when buying things.
New perspective, instead of the thing looking to buy should last approx 3 years I have the outlook it should last 10-40 years. Sometime that means buying a more initially expensive thing but since it will last longer it will be cheaper overall over its lifetime and have better build quality. What is good in the long run is also good for the environment. When having a repairability mindset when buying things that also sometime mean buying simpler things, I buy headphones without built in electronics since the electronics inside will fast become obsolete more than speaker elements.
Less waste less pollution
Less bought stuff less co2 emissions and global warming.
Would love to have more modular devices more repairable devices
Do not want a wall-e future but a green one.
Thanks to the repair cafes good movement!
A speaker/headphone can produce sound with only the wire coming from your computer/phone, a magnet, and the cone. The electricity from the audio cable manipulates the magnetic field in the speaker, causing the cone to vibrate.
So while the audio cable is transmitting electricity into the headphones, it's just wrapped around a magnet instead of having other electric components.
