If I Had An Extra $20 I’d Buy That Annoying Guy Good Headphones

good headphones don't leak sound

I should NOT be able to hear your music! | Source: Shutterstock

I ride the subway every morning for about 45 minutes. Most of that time, I’m usually wedged between five people who are way taller than me, so I can’t really see or breathe. But I definitely can hear.

And you know what I have to hear almost every morning without fail? This one dude’s crap music, blasting out of his super low-quality ear buds. It’s like, whatever. I get it that he likes to listen to his music super loud. It’s not me who’s going to go deaf. But it IS me who has to listen to his terrible music, because if you blast a song over such chintzy ear phones, the sound leaks. A lot. And then there I am, morning after morning, hearing bumpa-bumpa-bumpa some lyric about a girl’s ass bumpa-bumpa-bumpa.

So, this week, if I had an extra $20 to spare (which I don’t, because I just spent $100 on Morrissey pillowcases–long story), I’d definitely buy these Sony headphones for the annoying guy on my subway. Good headphones trap sound in, which means this dude would no longer be providing the soundtrack for my entire subway car. I know he’s a stranger, and I don’t even usually buy gifts for my own friends–but I would honestly consider this a gift to myself . . . and all my fellow commuters.

Do you get annoyed when you can hear other people’s music? Do you have good headphones that you’d recommend me getting for this guy? Tell me in the comments!

    Sometimes, I could hear people’s headphones blasting while I’m listening through my own! I wonder whether their headphones are crappy, and if not, aren’t they aware of the obvious connection between prolonged listening at loud volumes and deafness. What’s even worse are those “gangsta”-dressed teenagers in the bus who plays music through their phone’s speakers! No one wants to listen to your crap songs with derogatory lyrics. Unfortunately, none of the passengers would stand up because they’re loudmouthed and scary. :’( I’d rather wear earplugs or save up my money for superior quality headphones.

      I really hate it when people blast their music too .when people do this it is like shoving their music down your throats and i just really really hate it .I am 13 years old and i take my music seriously and i really really love 90s music my favourite band of all time is weezer they have changed my life because i was in the “mainstream phase ” and they just litterally changed my musical tastes and now i love finding new music on my own and trying out different genres and just playing around with my musical style.I did not find all of this on my own my brother inspired me to find a new musical path and experiment a little and he also showed me weezer.(A SHORT STORY YOU DONT HAVE TO READ BUT READ ON IF YOU ARE INTERESTED)So it all happened in the summer of 2011.I was really immature about music because i never really payed attention to the lyrics and whenever i heard a song i like i was like this is very catchy not even paying attention to the lyrics.So at the time i was listening to like rap and pop and such music.Soo yeah i was sitting in my living room and my brother was listening to a weezer song and i was like what is this garbage .And then i was like what is this garbage .And my brother was like this is some thing called good music .So since he called it good music i decided to listen to it.then i did after that i left and never said anything after that.When i left i went to the computer and i listened to like “my music”(meaning pop nd rap) after listening to that i got tired of listening to that so i remembered listening to the weezer song .So i decided to listen to the smae weezer song(btw it was called buddy holly).My reaction to this song was different from the first time i heard it .Surpirizingly i started to think weezer was COOL .A few days after that i asked my brother “you know that song you had showed me a few days before.He was like yeah.And then i asked him what is the album called.He was like the blue album.After that he showed me a few songs and i started to LIKE weezer.But before i became obsessed i had to get used to the music.As i got used to the music my brother then showed me PINKERTON *angels harmonize* and i listened to it at first i was like this is very different from their last album.But since the time i had loved weezer to the day i heard pinkerton i became OBSESSED with weezer .

    A guy who sits near me in American Government blasts his crap music while we’re waiting for the teacher to come and start class. It’s so annoying because I like to use that time to read or do schoolwork and the music is distracting.

    Haha, you think you can get good headphones for $20… That’s adorable. Try $60 to $120 for a pair that cancels the noise from going outside and has good sound quality. Mine were $90.
