The many uses of earphones

[afuna]

So I just discovered that putting on earphones without actually turning anything on manages to cut out enough of the background noise that I can concentrate better, but still lets in enough sound that people can catch my attention if they need to (but they don't, unless they really need to, because I have earphones on so they must respect that).

I like this!

Earphones are full of tricks :) I also use them in theatres, to dull the sound level a bit, because it is much too often too loud to be comfortable

I do that a lot. Lovely little things, really.
