do you wear both earphones or one? When I'm outside, I just wear one so I'm aware of my surroundings. Inside, I normally wear both. I prefer this control with earphones over those headphones. How about you? Do you care to be aware?

Hello wunovakind2! I ussualy when I listen to music at my desk I use the speakers, and when I`m on the street I use both of the earphones to avoid the noise from the outside...so I can go without any disturbance :D on my way...sounds neat...I know..but on the other hand you cannot answer if somebody shouts after you, maybe someone you know walks by and if you are not paying attention he/she will tell you that are rude for not returning the greeting lol best regards, Octavian

It depends. Sometimes I wear both sometimes I wear one. For instance, if I'm inside and I'd like to just drown everything out then I wear both so I can hear my music but not what is going on around me. If I want to still be really aware of what is going on, I only wear one.

I wear both. I don't think you could receive the full song without both on. I mean you could, but it just wouldn't be the same, you know? Certain songs allow the instruments to be on different sides of the track. So you may be missing out on a bass line or the drums or something. I don't know, I like experiencing my songs to their full potential.

Hi , I have not used a headset in so long . Most my music is played on computer , or in the car . Or when in room I have music station on . I will tell you one thing : I hate those small ear pieces that go in the ear . Those have always bothered me to no end and always fall out . Sucks

If I am in my room, I wear both. Usually I am watching a movie or listening to music and I do not have to worry about what is going on. If I am in public, I only place it over or in one ear. This way, I can eavesdrop on people's conversations, or be aware of any commotion that might start somewhere, just in case I am busy staring out a window or resting my head on a desk or something. Also, when I am in my house I tend to wear the headphones instead of the earbuds, so that is a difference, but when I am in public I wear the earbuds so that, like you, I can be aware.

I wear both because without both you would basically only get half of the song. Earphones are designed to have the more treble side in one ear and the more bassy side in the other. So I would say wear them both so you can get the full effect of the song you are listening to.
