After a long stretch of touchscreen-first interfaces, audio equipment makers are bringing back physical knobs and dials.
People missed being able to adjust something without looking at a screen.
The renewed interest in tactile controls is showing up in headphones, mixers, and home audio systems alike.

It’s a small design reversal, but one that suggests touchscreens aren’t always the best interface for quick adjustments.
Even when the topic is heavy, you keep the tone thoughtful and kind.
