- dman 15y agoI am sure at some point wearing headphones was incredibly embarrassing in public.
- hammock 15y agoWhich point?
- jdminhbg 15y agoI don't know about headphones, but using a cell phone in public was at one point considered rude/embarrassing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Finale_(Seinfeld) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Finale_(Seinfeld)
- jarek 15y agoI wouldn't go out wearing a pair of those fuzzy-padding headband ones. Monochromatic earbuds? Absolutely.
- mitchty 15y agoI think it still comes across as rude or offputting.
- gamble 15y agoShould be an awesome feature when combined with a handsfree car kit. The existing iPhone 4 voice recognition is very limited, but it still saves me from getting $200 tickets when I need to make calls on the road.
- mfarris 15y agoHave you been out in public lately? I don't think anybody is embarrassed by anything anymore. With a phone, voice control is a real improvement over thumbing a wee li'l keyboard. And exposing your personal affairs to everyone within earshot is now just another way to demonstrate your importance.
