Hey, it's Lauren Dragon from Wirecutter,
the product recommendation service from the New York Times, and I test headphones.
We basically make our own fake sweat and spray it over and over on these headphones to see what happens to them over time.
We're going to put on some noise cancelling headphones and see how well they actually block out the sound.
I have 3,136 entries in my database.
Kids, workout, what version of Bluetooth?

This is The Opinions, a show that brings you a mix of voices from New York Times opinion.
You've heard the news.
Here's what to make of it.
I'm Nadja Spiegelman, an editor at New York Times opinion.
Like so many millennials,
I recently binged the Netflix docuseries Reality Check inside America's Next Top Model.
I was in high school when that reality show first aired, and I was completely addicted to it.
Five beautiful young ladies stand before me, but I only have four photos in my hands.
The original show was a reality TV contest hosted by Tyra Banks,
who plucked young women from all over the country competing to win a contract with a modeling agency.
I'd never seen anything like it.
