A member mentioned in a post about looking odd walking around wearing large headphones.
Personally my hearing is a very important for sensing my environment when out and about and I certainly would feel very vulnerable walking on a street wearing headphones yet I see lots of people in towns doing so.
I think it is stark raving bonkers, and even worse if riding a bike, which I have also seen. I believe wearing headphones whilst driving a car is considered dangerous driving and likely to prosecution, quite rightly IMO.
What do others do/think?
