Yes, but more people are going to try and talk to you. They can’t see that you’re wearing headphones. I want to buy big over the ear ones just for this reason.

This is what I did, but it doesn't work. I wear them to walk my dog while listening to audio books. Neighbors are constantly talking to me. I live in a very friendly neighborhood though, so your mileage may vary.

I second this. I have always had over the ear headphones. People still try and talk to you. Even when they are driving by in a car and you are walking. Or in the middle of a rep at the gym. No where is safe ! :)

“Sorry mate I can’t hear you, my audio earrings (made with real pearls) have built in speakers that transmit sound up and into my ears” easy as that

When I wear big over the year headphones MORE people seem to want to talk to me. People seem to ignore headphones.

People. Why?

I have no idea. If I see earbuds or headphones, I specifically do not bother the person unless it’s urgent. I hate being bothered when listening to something, so I don’t do it to others.
People are just oblivious I guess?

Especially because it can be a conference call, too. For a while I used to go on walks when I had a conference call that didn't need me in front of the computer. People always talked to me and especially with older people it's difficult to explain that you are working while walking down the street and can't talk about the weather now.
I don't live in a rural place, but in freaking Berlin.
