Second day in a row I’ve seen 451 in the comments, I love it. Can’t believe I never read that book until last year

Thanks for sharing this quote. I actually just picked up an old copy of the book yesterday while at work. I’ll have to pull it out of the pile and start reading it. I’ve never read it before and this speaks to me. Thanks, friend

This is a deep cut. My pick was gonna be Ender's earring from Speaker for the Dead that he uses to talk to Jane.

No, I don't. And even if I did, it takes two seconds, "Sure, he's a dick, but let me finish telling you about how awesome Ender's game is..."

What does this mean?
SevenSebastian t1_j4hbr5v wrote
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.
TroubledNature t1_j4hlt6p wrote
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.
mrdevil413 t1_j4iw3j7 wrote
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
NewDad907 t1_j4j5edc wrote
When I wear big over the year headphones MORE people seem to want to talk to me. People seem to ignore headphones.
dazedabeille t1_j4j5yw0 wrote
People. Why?
NewDad907 t1_j4ji2xx wrote
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?
knightriderin t1_j4k0ua8 wrote
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.

They look like plain pearl earrings at first glance and nobody would know the difference. I think they’re far from hideous

Did you see the picture showing the model wearing them? Not even close to earrings in that shot, based on where they are sitting

As a woman I wouldn’t want wear them, unless I could position them on a different part of my ear, then be able to wear my other earrings. Alone they look like bad designed jewelry.

Remember when this bone transmission shit never worked.
(It sort of does but Theres basically no lows at all ever)
perinon t1_j4fpr2c wrote
I use a bone transmission headset when I go jogging, they are perfect. I don’t need high quality music, just a background to keep me pumped and entertained, and I can perfectly hear cars, bicycles, and other people passing next to me and stay safe…
PurpleNurpe t1_j4h0y0g wrote
AirPod Pro’s + Transparency Mode work quite well, just a suggestion.
KEVLAR60442 t1_j4hfqup wrote
In my experience, transparency modes kill the spacialization of incoming noise, so it's fine for holding a conversation, but it's definitely not good for hearing where something is coming up on you from behind.

They don't stay in your ear when your sweaty though

Sonys ambient sound mode on their NC buds is even better
jakeb1616 t1_j4gd71e wrote
Which ones do you use? I was wondering if I should try them.
perinon t1_j4gl737 wrote
I’m using an older model from Shokz https://shokz.com/ It seems that now they sell newer models and different sizes, but mine would compre to the “openrun” model I guess.
I prefer them to the AirPods Pro (with transparency mode) or other in-ear when I run. Of course, as mentioned in other comments, the music quality is not what you are looking for here…
I like them because they are very stable, they allow you to hear everything around, and there is never that weird deep sound that sometimes you have with in-ear when you walk, which I really hate.
jakeb1616 t1_j4glffg wrote
I mainly listen to audio books so don’t need great sound, and was looking for something that doesn’t go in the ear
perinon t1_j4gpwaz wrote
I often listen to those Nike Run Club couching sessions and there is often a guy talking through the session, and I can clearly hear what he says, so they should be fine with audio books too.
One thing to consider though is the amount of noise or traffic where you run. I normally run through fields, so it’s very quite, but indeed when I need to go through a couple of noise roads I need to volume up quite a bit to distinctively understand what he says
Nokomis34 t1_j4h8oak wrote
I've used Shokz, but I find things like the glasses to sound much better. I currently use the Bose Frames Tempo. Still not great bass, as to be expected, but I don't feel like it's completely missing like the bone conduction.
And yea, any pass through type headphone is just not the same as open ears.
Eccomi21 t1_j4g0cf4 wrote
Unthinkable for a basshead like me. But if it works for you then that's perfect. I use passtrough on mine and have the volume relatively low, so while not as safe its still safe. Though, I don't run, I only walk to and from work in a pedestrian area
Milena1991 t1_j4gcrem wrote
Same. I’m a basshead and need noise canceling headphones. I have a energizer cutie pie (he’s 3).

“And in her ears the little Seashells, the thimble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk and music and talk coming in, coming in on the shore of her unsleeping mind. The room was indeed empty. Every night the waves came in and bore her off on their great tides of sound, floating her, wide-eyed, toward morning. There had been no night in the last two years that Mildred had not swum that sea, had not gladly gone down in it for the third time.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
