Ear buds....I've been wearing the earphones that come with iPods for years now at the gym, but when I'm at home I wear studio headphones. Recently I've started to think that maybe I should just wear my studio headphones to the gym. I'm not really one to care about what I look like to other people, but this does seem a bit odd. Are they really out of place or do you think no one would take a second glance?
I've never seen anyone do this before.![]()
I think 2011 would be thrilled to finally get this thread of it's hands.It is 2011 calling, they want their thread back.
Bumped thread, but still an interesting topic.
I've noticed a huge escalation of people walking around with on/over ear headphones around their neck, not using them - I'm _assuming_ they were, and at some point just needed a convenient place to keep them - but I also have a sneaking suspicion that's it's being done as much for a "style" or "fashion" as it is for utility.
I do that, because as you say it's an easy place to keep them when not in use, much like letting earbuds dangle down (assuming you loop them under clothing). I'll be sure to let people know I'm doing it for comfort and not style though. Maybe a shirt will help?
Your at the gym... I don't think if people have time to care what others think..
That's why i go out in tracksuits always.
There are plenty of people in the gym who care about nothing but how they look and what others think.
It's absolutely cool to not give a **** about whether people think you're cool or not.
I used to walk around the neighborhood with UE headphones (big over the ear).
#1 - My GF drove by and thought I looked like a serial killer until she recognized that it was me.
#2 - This was okay in the winter, but uncomfortably hot and sweaty in the summer.
Sweat is not good for headphones. I think the gym would have the same problem with heat and sweat.
Well, my objective is not to look cool at the gym, but work out, so does it matter?Does anybody look 'cool' at the gym? Most are there to exercise and couldn't give a monkeys.
Well quite.Well, my objective is not to look cool at the gym, but work out, so does it matter?
