With all the songs you have stored in your music app, may it be in iTunes or what-not, most of us only listen to only a few of them. From a variety of 458 songs in your music app, you only have 4-10 songs playing over and over again in your playlist! The fact that you listen to your jam for at least a whole week then immediately lose interest once you listen to it again is just priceless. I've even gone through those moments wherein you can't help but just scroll through your past music streams while reminiscing the times you actually listened to that and how you actually felt when you were listening to that particular song. The fact that you can't help but make yourself feel older whenever you listen to the songs you would use to sing along to day and night. Remembering the moments when you would feel hopeless whenever you don't have your earphones or headset with you due to circumstances such as: a) You lost it, or the famous one of them all b) It broke/You accidentally broke it. I remembered those days when my best friend would be my earphones because without it I wouldn't be in peace with my music and I, for living in a household filled with talkative adults, you would really not have enough privacy in the world, not even if you have your own bedroom because everyone just seems to barge into room as if it were their's too (Based from experience).

My mom would see me crying and just look at me as though I was crazy for doing so, as though I had no right to show my emotions to others but she just doesn't know that it was not because of that book I read (maybe it was) or that movie I watched, but it was more of the message I got from the song i was listening to all this time... Won't admit the fact that I do tend to be emotional and that relating to the song or book you're reading is just right, for knowing the message and the true meaning of the piece of art you're taking in would do you good. To relate with someone doesn't have to know what they have gone through but to listen to their playlist, itself. It may look shallow but the one's playlist showcases how they truly feel deep within, for every single song has its own emotion to express and its message to relay to the listeners. To listen to something that does not make any sense is like listening to your pet, trying to understand what he/she's saying. It's okay to get carried away by the song you listen to, by the genre you fancy and by the reason why you do so, for you know that you're not the only one experiencing the pain/joy/excitement, there are so many others around the globe feeling the same way as you are.

There are moments wherein you couldn't help but just share the music with your friend or loved one, telling them, "Hey, you should listen to this song! It totally soothes you!" or simply telling them how much you are a fan of it. Having to share something special to you with a special someone is exactly combining your best possessions and getting an ever finer product out of it. But aren't you tired of sharing your music with someone while having to struggle the sharing of the earphones or headset? Doesn't it bother you that there is no other option but to just grab only the left/right part of your earphones and giving the other to someone you want to share with? Think about it, Wouldn't it be easier to have something to actually get you to share a song with someone without having to take the other part of the earphone and give it to that certain person? At first I thought that it would be impossible to not share without having to give the other piece or part of the earphone to your friend, for there has not been a record of a phone, iPod, iPad, etc. made with two or more slots for earphones to be connected on to, but now things have gone to the next level... From the hardships of this (refer to the picture below)

To finally sharing music with family and friends without having to fret with the fact that you would have to give the other piece of headset to the other anymore! Heck you could all listen to it at once now, as long as each one of you have earphones of your own, you are all in good hands.

It is amazing how one can now share his music with others with the use of these earphone and headset splitters. The fact that it is incredibly worth it, it would also give you an better time or moment to listen to your favorite song track with the best quality! Don't struggle to understand the lyrics anymore, just listen to your hearts content, it is all worth it. Nothing to ease the mood but these little bad boys showing you a new perspective of life. Go and grab one now! 

Reminder: Don't be afraid to share, for it would be one of the best way to show that you care.
