when listening to music on headphones....

Hello Galena. I don't pay much attention to the L or R while listening to music on headphones. But I do make sure that the wire is not twisted for the protection of it to make it last longer in use. I only use the headphone while working in the office when I have to use it, but back home I don't use it because I love to use extra speakers.

Yeah i do check the L and the R. I feel uneasy when i feel i'm not using the L earphone on my left ear. Maybe that's what you call obsessive-compulsive thing. I really do check them and sometimes when my room is dark, i'm not really contented not to check it so i would turn my lamp on just to double check. Psychologically, i do feel that the music is at it's best when the earphones are place on the right ears.

Yes I do, before putting headphones, I check on if L is on the left ear and vice versa, it has an important purpose that is why I follow it. It is for ear safety I guess much more when the sound is on increased volume. Maybe the left and right ear have different sound capacity .

some times i do and some times i do not care about that as long as its not annoying me

Yes I always do. Not because I think it makes a difference but becasue if I wear them the wrong way round then the wire ends up getting stuck around my neck!

Yes I do, if it says L & R on the earphone. This L & R sign must serve a purpose why it should be connected correctly, I suppose.

Honestly Galena, I do not even pay attention. I just fit them on and adjust to comfort. I wonder if there is any real difference if they are worn "correctly"?

Yes, But I haven't used headphones in many many years.

Always, otherwise my design will be backwards

nope never but i know when pink floyd come on my iTouch sometimes stuff goes from the right ear to the left and the next day it gos from the left ear to the right. But i do not know which one is correct. Guess if a read the L & R i would know

I never check that,to be honest.
