Through two 10-episode seasons of HBO’s hit TV drama Succession, the character of Kendall Roy (played by American actor Jeremy Strong) dons a variety of headphones for different occasions, from Apple’s ubiquitous AirPods (£159) to bulbous, scene-stealing pairs of noise-cancelling cans from Beyerdynamic and Bose. According to Succession prop master Dierdre Kane, Strong selected Kendall’s headphones himself, viewing them as an extension of the character. For someone like Kendall, these choices are as semiotically hefty as lapel width, or daring to pair black with navy.
在HBO熱播電視劇《繼承之戰》(Succession)的兩季（每季各10集）中，肯德爾•羅伊（Kendall Roy，由美國演員傑里米•斯特朗(Jeremy Strong)飾演）會在不同場合戴上各種不同的耳機，例如廣爲流行的蘋果AirPods（159英鎊）和球形設計、外觀搶眼的拜雅(Beyerdynamic)與Bose消噪耳機。據《繼承之戰》的道具師迪爾德麗•凱恩(Dierdre Kane)介紹，斯特朗親自爲肯德爾挑選了耳機，將耳機視爲這個角色的延伸。對於肯德爾這樣的角色而言，這些選擇具有重要的符號性意義，就像西裝翻領的寬度，或是用海軍藍搭黑色的大膽配色一樣。
