    If your choice of headphones in the workplace makes a statement, then the question becomes this: What statement do you want to make?

    Here are five headphones for your consideration — and a rough translation of what each is saying.

     

    Model: Skullcandy Ink’d 2, in black, with mic:

    Translation: I would rather you not ask me about my headphones.

     

    Model: SleepPhones.

    Translation: Zzzzzzzzz.

     

    Model: Abyss AB-1266

    Translation: I have an insane amount of disposable income. (These cost just shy of $5,500)

     

    Model: 500XL Desktop Earbud Speakers

    Translation: I have so little respect for your personal space, I will only listen to my earbuds out loud.

     

    Model: Molami Twine

    Translation: I am the kind of person who wears headphones that are best explained by a short art film.
