For headphones anything wired first and formost will be better than wireless since no batteries to worry about. There are a lot of different sound signatures but the common headphones recommended are the Senheiser HD 600, 6XX, 650, 660s. Other notable mentions are Beyerdynamic DT series headphones which are used in studios. Avoid HifiMan

Both lines are time tested being around for more than 20 years and new pads and parts are available from various sources. Note that pads can dramatically change the sound so you would have to search for reviews to be sure or just buy the exact same ones.

If you need to make them wireless you can use something like a FIIO BTR5 or Quedelix 5K which are wireless headphone amps that pair to your pc or phone through bluetooth.

It started for me with buying new office chairs every year since they were cheap and the padding would wear out and pleather would peel off. This branched into ergonomic office chairs from steelcase, hermon miller, and humanscale among others for sitting for 10+ hours a day and having 15 year warrenties.

Still using my chair for 10 years almost. This then translated to other stuff like buying a CNC machined safety razor instead of plastic disposable cartridge razors and everything else now.

Like others have said it looks like the plating might be coming off. I would spend a bit extra for a CNC machined razor out of stainless steel or aluminium, brass or other metal that wont corrode like cheaper plated zamak alloy will eventually. /r/wicked_edge can help you pick out one for your price range.

If you want your new razor to last forever itll be good to take apart and give a quick hand dry with a towel before putting back together and if your environment is humid to put them somewhere dryer.

From 20c to 25c took around 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours I think. I haven't had to use it since its been warm ever since the -20c weather a while ago. My windows had seal issues which I've fixed since then so it would probably take a bit less now. Either way these heaters take a while to get warm compared to other types of heaters but they also take a while to cool off if the power goes out.

I recommend this one you can find off amazon. Its well built with steel and only a small amount of plastic on the front panel and feet. You can set the temperature between 5C-28C (41F-82F) and it has 3 power settings and an ECO mode. setting 1 is 700W, 2 is 900W, and 3 is 1500W. When Eco mode is turned on it will run at the highest power that you have set until it reaches the set temp and then switches to a lower power to maintain the heat as needed.

Its silent except for a click when changing power settings which I like and doesnt dry out the air the same way ceramic heaters can. Its a bit heavy at 20 something pounds but the wheels make it easy to move around. It can take a while for it to heat up but it also takes longer to cool off which can be helpful if the power goes out or if you want to turn it off before going to bed. I also feel safer since its harder to start a fire with one of these.

You'll have to learn how to use a double edge safety razor or shavette or straight razor and do a 3 pass shave with the grain, across the grain, against the grain your hair grows to get it glassy smooth.

You can try it with a normal cartridge razor but some people get ingrown hairs since to make them cut you need to press down pretty hard and hairs can get cut beneath the skin and then not grow out properly.

Also depending on how fair your skin is and how dark your hair is it might be physically impossible to not see it even if its perfectly smooth and you cant feel it. In that case you might need some make up.

Hermon Miller Aeron and Steelcase Leap V2 are the go to chairs but cost $$$$ you can find them cheaper when offices decide to replace everything.

All of the parts can be bought from the manufacturers and be replaced generally. They also have a focus on adjustability and ergonomics being designed to be sat in for 8+ hours a day. Usually have 10year or more warrentys

If you dont want to fuss with maintenence save some money and go with fabric instead of leather.

And of course try and sit in one somewhere before you buy it.

Maybe just some Earbuds then. Ive actually switched to IEMs completely from headphones and have since switched to Earbuds full time and I love it.

I started with VE Monks Plus which are a mids focused bud and then upgraded to some TGXEar Tantulus which are TOTL mids focused buds with a similar but more detailed sound.
