Or just get rid of grass entirely. Part way through a project to replace part of the yard with gravel and native plants, mostly because I hate mowing.

- hombre_fatal 3y agoThe worst part about mowing is that you can’t even listen to a podcast because the engine is too loud. Otherwise I wouldn’t mind the chore.
- toofy 3y agoGetting a set of airpod pro was easily the best money I’ve spent for doing yard stuff. I use the Noise Cancellation for mowing/trimming and the Transparency mode for other stuff. With transparency mode I dont at all feel isolated from anything. I just put on a few hours of podcasts/music and it makes the work so much more enjoyable. I’ve bought a ton of gadgets and tools for vegetable gardening over the past couple years but the airpods have been the best investment yet. And I know i’m repeating myself but the transparency mode really is fantastic… i always avoided earbuds in the past because I despised how they made me feel “isolated from the world” or whatever, but their transparency mode totally solved that.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoI just got Airpod Pros at Costco at the start of the year, and when I turned on the noise cancellation it was like I had suddenly lost my hearing. It's so effective. Haven't tried mowing with them yet.

- DangitBobby 3y agoNoise cancelling headphones work well enough for electric mowers.
- regus 3y agoIf your lawn isn't too large you can use a manual reel mower instead. They produce very little noise so you can mow your lawn, listen to your podcasts, and not annoy your neighbors.
- codalan 3y agoEven better is not doing it at all. There's so many things I'd rather do than mow. Like getting drunk and listening to podcasts with my cats.
