> I also didn't want to have to trust Sony with my listening data

This is tinfoil hat stuff. What are you expecting to happen?



I'm not expecting anything to happen, but advocating for user privacy isn't about having anything to hide or expecting anything to happen. As far as I'm concerned, the most rational position is to expect user privacy as a primary feature of any services/products we use, particularly if they don't need to be relaying any data in the first place.

I mean, perhaps if Facebook made a pair of headphones would you accept that it's not quite tinfoil hat stuff to be interested in user privacy? We should never trust any centralized authority or corporation with data if we can help it.
