A new set of headphones is refusing to behave (currently waiting for a reply to the support request). They&#8217;re doing construction on a patio for my landlord&#8217;s family, which means there are construction noises approximately 3 feet from my head at 7:30 in the morning (and these days I have been getting up at 8.)
