Do you have your earphone or headphone on your ear all the time?

yes while traveling i generally listen to music on my earphone....but when i am traveling alone if i have some company then i don't but if that company is very boring then i put my earphone an start listening to music.....but yes i have seen many people who have earphones i their ears all the time.....i don't know how they manage that.....my ears starts to pain after some time.......so constantly remove my earphone........

Before I always have my earphones on. When I was in high school my father bought me a pocket AM-FM radio and I loved it so much that I always have it wherever I go, even when I am waiting to fall asleep that sometimes I forget to take it off and fall asleep. My elder brother was also like that and my mother warned me not to always use my earphone especially when sleeping cause it might damage my hearing ability. Like what happened to my brother and to my father when he was still young. They're not totally deaf but they seem to have a hard time hearing even at a close distance. From then on I stopped wearing them when waiting to fall asleep. I also decided not to use the earphones too much. After sometime my pocket radio got broken and I permanently stopped using earphones. Ciao!

Although headphones are more safe, I agree with you that earphones are more convenient especially when riding public vehicles.. But if traveling with my family, I prefer headphones instead. However when there's a chance especially at home, I prefer to listen to loud speakers =D

I prefer listening to music through my earphones because they're definitely more convenient as you say, however i think headphones give better quality of sound. I only have earphones. (Every pair of earphones / headphones i ever have- i break)

I usuly use earphones. I think the sound quality is much better. Also they are more convivent.
