This one is for music lovers and people who hold on to things for possibly a bit too long.

So to prove you’re that someone, send us a photo (JPEGs only, please) of your current headphones. The shot of the oldest, most broken-down, grossest, shoddiest, “I can’t believe you put those on your head” ’phones will win their owner total musical bliss in the form of the SE420s.
