Did you know that the first stereo headphones were created in 1958 for listening to recordings of steam trains? Imagine a wise man in 1958 saying, “All that matters in life is a good set of headphones,” and then being really disappointed when all he could hear was the 4:15 from Paddington… at least it’s loco-motive sound advice.
