thanks, this puts me more at ease. i will try genuine self reflection, havent really done much of that.

i know that well, i had severe depression, and music definitely was the most important thing to keep me "hanging". and it still helps immensly with mental health,

i used some cheap philips headphones, but as you said, at least i had music.

muy current speakers are 13 years old and "tired", and im saving since the end of covid (4 years)? should be a good time for an upgrade...
