Why Headphones?

Everyone knows that listening to music while getting some work done, or walking down the halls, (or to escape awkward conversation like the title suggests), is one of life’s saving graces. From wired earphones, to Bluetooth overhead headphones, the music listening scene at Northview is diverse and lively, so I explored it!
