Do you think certain types of headphones for iPods should be banned on tubes and buses?
Answers:
definitely. It doesn't seem to matter what earplugs are used, the music is always loud enough to be heard over the noise of the engine. And if the wearer chooses to sit / stand next to me, it isn't long before i get an overwhelming compulsion to pull their ears off!
I don't think its the type of headphones its how loud people listen to their music. When I use mine I don't turn them up that loud,1. because I don't want to annoy people as its quite rude and 2. because its bad for my ears! Just think of all those people that will get earphone related deafness!
I drive a bus -- please find the eejut who invented Phones with MP3 players and speakerphones in-built and cut their ears off.
I've got out of the cab on more than one occasion and told people who will insist on blearing their rubbish music out that i like quiet jazz when i'm driving, that Mrs. miggins over there likes classical and that baby in the push-chair likes teletubbies - we don't feel the need to share them with you, so plug in headphones, turn it down or TURN IT OFF!!
It gets beyond a joke when i can hear their 'music' from behind 3mm thick plexiglass.
I totaly agree.
worse still are "funny" mobile phone ringtones, completely destroyed my enjoyment of peter kay
only as long as they ban mobiles. i have to turn my ipod up to block out the twat talking so loud into his/her phone, so everyone else can hear the conversation..
