Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles

@vonhelmholtz BTW, on a separate note, I’m very jealous of your Aurender N20.  Congrats on an excellent acquisition!

@vonhelmholtz No prob whatsoever, and I think it’s perfectly fine we disagree.  How boring would the world be if we all thought alike, and I always welcome hearing a different opinion or viewpoint because that’s how I learn.  And, by the way, we’re all odd ducks, but at least you and I get to appreciate music played through good equipment, which I think makes us happier odd ducks than the average duck.  Cheers. 

Why must you know?

@vonhelmholtz Why not know?  What’s the harm?  Does it hurt you in some way to know that these are made from recycled plastic?

I have issues with corporations and in some cases individuals promoting their degree of righteousness.

@vonhelmholtz Not sure I understand why you view this as self righteousness.  If they don’t tell us the buds are made of recycled plastic, how else are we to know?  Is there a way they could tell us this without being self righteous?

@carlsbad @vonhelmholtz Whatever their motivation, and I’m not exactly a Sony fan, what’s the harm of putting recycled bottles into earbuds rather than a landfill? I’ve got shoes that were also made from recycled plastic and have served me very well for years rather than adding to a landfill. What’s the problem here? Would you rather have this plastic in a landfill? Does that sound better to you? If so, why? I’d love to know why that’s a better outcome to you.
