I see Chinese people in Tokyo wearing them all the time. Even when not listening to music and just talking to friends. It really is like some kind of fashion accessory.
- applecrazy 7y agoAnecdote: I'm a college student, and around half the people I see on campus (including me) wear these around while talking to their friends. It's kind of cool but also kind of a problem.
- EugeneOZ 7y agoOn the other side: my son is a high school student and they have a rule to remove the headphone(s) if they are talking, talking in headphones is a bad manners for them.
- evgen 7y agoAlso anecdote, but I wear mine frequently when commuting or listening to a bit of background music at work and because there is no cord or significant weight I will often forget that I have them in. I once wore them in to work from my commute and did not notice that they were in until I went to put on a hat when going out to lunch and brushed one out of an ear.
- saagarjha 7y ago> It's kind of cool but also kind of a problem. Why, assuming they’re not playing anything or have noise cancelling on?
- applecrazy 7y agoMy personal perception is that it implies you're not giving 100% to the conversation at hand, if that makes sense.
- matwood 7y agoI have the AirPods Pro and find myself often using them with nothing playing just for the noise canceling. The noise canceling is not quite as good as some over ears I've used, but the combination of comfort and noise canceling from APPs makes them superior in my eyes. I often forget I have the APPs on. APP also has an interesting pass through mode where there is some noise canceling, but sounds like voices are highlighted.
