it is the general fear of forgetting the headphones
Spot on! I like when you said "general fear" haha it makes me feel like I'm not the only forgetful person in the world.
I will upgrade my earphones soon and I think I will get a bigger bag or case so I won't forget not to leave them in the laundry 😊
if perhaps something colorful or that makes some kind of noise like a rattle will help not to forget them, good luck with the new pair
