This is prolly a bad thing, but I cannot use in ear headphones anymore. I started using bone-conducting headphones because they're great for biking. You can hear your surroundings And stay aware while also being able to listen to like a podcast or some music.

I bought a pair of USB-C in ear headphones recently because I thought it would be useful for listening around the house and whatnot, but I can't even wear the headphones in the house because it cuts me off from all the noises in my neighborhood....Which I thought would be a good thing to help me focus, but it turns out it just ratchets up my paranoia another level or two. 😅 fuck

I've been thinking about those bone headphones for cycling..but I also think maybe using nothing is safest. Cycling can be quite treacherous in London lol

You'd be surprised. You can hear your surroundings pretty well with these. And as long as you're not cranking the headphones, you can hear most cars around you. Cars take up pretty large frequency space too, so they're pretty hard to miss with open ear headphones.

I've never used headphones like that but I always hear they are surprisingly good

They kick so much ass for everyday use.

What brand do you use I’ve been looking into bone conducting too but have never tried any

Aftershokz

Thanks

Tenho vontade de comprar para ver como é. Só por curiosidade mesmo.

Move to the countryside, the background noise is its own form of music.

In this sense, my dude, you are preaching to the choir. If I could afford to live in the countryside right now, I would have moved out there ages ago.

I grew up out in the country and the city noises fuck me up.

Bitcoin will solve this for you given enough time.

THAT IS WHY A LAWSUIT IS INCOMING IF I DO NOT GET MY WAY!

Keep him out of your bizarre psychopathic drama

It’s ok. I don’t mind psychopathic drama

Don’t bullshit

What bone headphones do you recommend?

Noon almost, taco vendor should be passing any minute already... earlier it passed by the bread, the veggies and the trash vendors; each with its own tune, bell and horn. Surely, out of the blue stop listening them, or change of patterns, arises questions. New vendor!

Koss porta pros.

3.5mm FTW. Same design for 30 years or so. I just swap out the ear cushions.

My colleague call me agent snith at work.

They never saw me without wearing my aftershokz 😂

I can't wear them all the time in the kitchen I work in right now, but when I had an office job, those things never left my head.
