Earbuds walking around

Anonymous
So people walk around with earbuds constantly

Are you just leaving them in or listening to music podcasts or true crime?

They just don't want anyone to talk to them that's all.

I'm listening to Pandora. I generally pop one out if I'm in a store with loud music or if I have to talk to someone.

I actually feel so rude going through checkout with my earbuds on, even if set to transparent.

Agreed music is nice to coverup bad Muzak.

Pandora? How old school. Do you pay for service, how do you prefer over the infinite catalogs of Apple or Spotify?

I never do this in a public environment. You otherwise are deliberately sacrificing your hearing, which is important to situational awareness, almost like wearing a blindfold. You can't hear people or dogs approaching from outside your field of view, may not hear emergency vehicle sirens or even ordinary car horns, etc.

I leave mine in. Depending on what I am doing snd where I am, it’s easier than taking them out and possibly dropping them. Like when I’m on a walk or a run and I stop by a convenient store to buy gum. With transparency mode on my AirPods, I can hear anything

It’s easy to connect when a call comes in or I can have Siri read me a text. I don’t have to fumble with my AirPods and drop them or possibly miss the call

If you live in the city, you shouldn't do this.

No, I don't pay for service. Pandora gives me a decent catalog of music. Decent enough that I'm satisfied with what I get for free.
