Avoid them like the plague? I can understand bland indifference towards a hobby, but active dislike?

Maybe he was afraid of being so blown away by good audio that his own stuff wouldn’t satisfy him anymore

I guess he didn't just like the idea of using a headphone? Like for example, my old man will never ever use any earphones but he's fine with over ear headphones.

Having brothers myself, I've been on both sides of this kind of tomfoolery. Just childishly avoiding/disliking things either of us like just to spite each other

Correct, just brotherly tomfoolery and a little bit of embellishment.

Have you ever tried to remove a crochet needle from someone’s arm? You gotta push it all the way through. Just brutal. Knitting violence is much easier to deal with.

And thicknesses! And types! And there is no “endgame,” you just have to keep buying the stuff to feed the crochet beast.

Headphones are a cheap hobby by comparison.

My wife has sensory sensitivities around anything on/over/in her ears. She can barely handle work calls, she doesn’t want to spend a single minute with headphones on she doesn’t have to.

It’s OK. We also have nice speakers and she appreciates those.
