See, our problem here is that we think like Americans. This is happening in a former communist workers paradise.
They probably had crates of these headphones lying around from their final failed five year plan.
The kids are all getting iPods off ebay, so the monster headphones (I swear I had a pair of those in high school that I got from radio shack) were available cheap.
Consider ... you're dealing with the same kind of cultural logic that lead to the spread of HIV in Eastern Block countries ... If you have a ward of babies (or adults) that all need the same med, you load one syringe and shoot the whole ward. Also, cold sterilizing of disposables (think dunking in alcohol) was not uncommon practice.
The proletariat are an expendable resource.
