I live in a big city and notice this a lot as well. I’m starting to reduce my headphone usage. My hearing is getting worse at a young age. I don’t think the default should be needing to have a soundtrack to your life. I’m a long distance runner and often run 15-20+ miles without music or headphones. It’s nice | ||

I often use over-ear headphones as ear-protectors rather than sound sources. It muffles the outside world, leaving me free to think. I suspect in-ears have degraded my hearing, so I don't use them any more. | ||
