Why is it so hard to buy headphones in Islamabad?

Over the course of the last couple of years, I have gone to come to the conclusion that the shop owners in Islamabad fail to realize the importance of headphones.

I am most probably not the first person in the city, who has felt the urge to go out and purchase some aftermarket headphones for my mp3 player or for my cellular device, which is why it seems rather shocking that the market still refuses to cater to this
segment altogether.

At the moment, people tend to go to their nearest cell phone store or to their nearest Illusions(something along these lines), when they wish to purchase headphones. However, given the fact that these headphones are the least of their interests, they are
almost always the worst kind of headphones, known to exist.

The only brand, that is half decent is A4 Tech, but their in-ears tend to break faster than rate at which inflation is taking place in the country.

At the same time, it is close to impossible to find headphones, that are dedicated for just music. All the headphones that are available in the city come with a microphone, mainly because they are PC headsets, which are being sold as mp3 player headphones.

Nonetheless, based on the experience that I have undertaken over the last couple of years, I believe if even one shop in the city starts selling decent headphones, they would be fluttered with customer’s day in and day out. At the same time, if an already
existing store starts selling them, their sales are bound to go up without a doubt.

All in all, hopefully someone will come across this article and realize the importance that something as simple and minor as headphones has on the current market in the city.
