TODAY’S POLL

LAST POLL RESULTS

40.6% of you voted I rarely use headphones/earbuds in yesterday’s poll: Which type of headphones do you use most often?

“I don’t even rarely wear them — I don’t wear them at all.”

“I actually never wear them — no need to.”

“RARELY EVER NEED THEM. ”

“I don’t need them — I have no use for them.”

“But when I did, it was ‘cans’ all the way. I wanted to be IMMERSED in the sound.”

“When I used headphones years ago, they were the wired over-the-ear style. Today, I don’t use them.”

“The few times I use headphones, they’re wired.”

“On plane trips, it’s always wired earbuds.”

“I only use wireless earbuds while flying. The Bose noise-canceling earbuds are awesome!”

“Wired Bose buds. They’re the best — they fit my ears (unlike AirPods) and have great sound. I’ve had them for years!”

“I have Bluetooth wireless headphones that can also be wired, but they sound significantly better with the wire. Still, I rarely use headphones and prefer listening through speakers or a sound system.”

“I thought everybody else used headphones. This poll says I’m closer to normal than I realized.”

“I don’t own any and have no plans to buy a pair.”

“Let me hear the beauty of the world in which I live!”

“Never ever use anything for my ears!”

“On the rare occasion that I do, I go with a pair of wireless buds. I do wish more people who feel the need to use their phones in public would use them, though. I’m sure many will agree that nobody wants to hear other people’s personal conversations or music/podcasts in a public space.”

“My hearing aids have Bluetooth capabilities, so I use them instead of earbuds or headphones.”

“I only have headphones because I was recently given a secondhand pair from my wife via our daughter. Otherwise, I wouldn’t own a pair. All of my electronics are hand-me-downs because I’m TOO CHEAP and refuse to pay the exorbitant prices manufacturers and retailers charge!”

“I have wireless earbuds, but I generally use my wireless over-ear headphones because they sound better and are more comfortable. I used to use cheap wired earbuds and was skeptical of the wireless trend at first, but once I made the switch, I really appreciated the benefits of quality wireless headphones — especially the noise cancellation.”

“I rarely use earbuds or headphones, but I have wireless ones for when I do. I keep forgetting I have them… note to self: wear headphones to listen to music and podcasts — I’ll get more done. 🙃”

“For years, I used my iPhone with wired earplugs. A couple of times while jogging, the wire got twisted, and it felt like my ear was being torn off. Now I use earbuds, which are more comfortable and convenient. The trick now is keeping them from falling out if I get too sweaty. Nothing’s perfect.”

“Wired or wireless over-the-ear headphones work best for me — I can never get pods to stay in my ears.”

“My wired over-ear/on-ear headphones work well for me.”

“Wireless over-the-ear earbuds.”

“Mainly wireless earbuds, but I recently purchased some wired EarPods, and I love them. While my AirPods are convenient, the microphone, battery life, and overall quality just aren’t really there for the price.”
