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

Don't you need wifi for spotify?
I listen to apple podcasts. No idea how. I guess they are over 5g.

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.

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

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

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.

Audiobooks

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.

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

Books

I'm listening to music.

So people walk around with earbuds constantly

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