i hate to preach but i was like this when i was a teenager. i always disconnected myself with my surroundings by blasting music but i advise you all to leave out the earbuds while walking or in class because it really makes time feel slow paced and natural. my earbuds broke when i was on a trip to nigeria and it was one of the best things that happened on that trip, i became really observant of my surroundings and it made the trip a million times more special because i focused on the beauty of the country rather than the beauty of my music.

I'm always bringing my earbuds. Sometimes I don't use them, but like someone told me, "it's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them" lol. Actually I cannot work out without music. Heck i can't do schoolwork without music lol
Lol same!! The worst is sitting for 6h in a train and not being able to listen to music 😫 I've been so desperate that I listened to music (without earphones) on volume 1 while putting the speakers really close to my ear XD
Sameee I bring them everywhere!!!
Sometimes I catch myself with the earphones on my ears without music playing. ... I think I'm addicted to my earphones
I don't mind leaving my headphones at home at all, although I don't go to the gym for exercise either. I listen to so much music while I'm at home that it's nice to have a break haha. I also have a separate pair at work so that covers most of my needs.
yeah, headphones are great for when you don't want to be bothered and just want to do something without people chatting you up.

Nothing worse than leaving the house without your headphones? Have you tried leaving the house with them only to plug them in and realise one side works or they don't work at all?
I hate that! I used to get bullied big time when I was a kid. The headphones were my safe haven. If I didn't have them, then I would have to listen to the kids make fun of me when I was out biking or walking.

Yes, I may be an older person, but I've been this way for such a long time. Main reason is the same as most pther people, to not be bothered... although some people (mostly Boomers and/or beggars) can't respect the boundary so I hollaback at them if they do bother me. Have for a long time.I hate wearing headphones at the gym! Yeah, I'd much rather listen to music than other people grunting, but I hate ear buds and I sweat too much for regular headphones.
I leave without my headphones all the time... I guarantee that if I took my ATH-M50x with me, I'd either get ran over by a stray car, or some homeless would rip it off my head.
I can't especially when i need to drive to school in bus..
i can, but no way in hell am i going to uni or the gym without headphones.
Headphones are definitely a security blanket for me when going outside of my house.
If I ever leave the house without headphones, someone needs to call the doctor. (eh? eh? got it? 😂)
If I left 'em I don't give a shit... I'd listen to music widout... I'm not ashamed of da genre I listen to...
I don't even know where my headphones are XP
me me me! goodness earphones are a must.
Lol I never take headphones anyplace, I don't need em outside of my house.
haven't used them for quite some time. I don't need them anymore since I drive by car and not public transport
I keep extra headphones in my car and at work.
YEAH I know the feeling!
yeah they are a must have :)
Not a problem for me.
