Headphone Sightings 2

My campus is full of idiots walking around with beats. I see someone, somewhere, once per day with a pair. Aside from those, I've seen some indistinct pairs here and there, but it's possible that few people wear them outside. I don't wear mine outside (mine are open, after all) but I recently talked to a guy who owns HD-558s! We then discussed Sennheiser for awhile.

There was a guy behind me at a stop light driving a nice Acura and rocking out with some Beats on. I wanted to pull up beside him and let him listen to my d5k!!

People drive with headphones on now?

In the U.S Depending on the state your in its illegal to drive while wearing headphones/iems and possibly earplugs as well.

 
Either way, that's still highly dangerous both to the driver and other road users. Imagine rocking out to some greatawesome tunes from your headphones then your car rocked too, having ran over someone.

So what about people who are deaf? They drive.

 
They do make special devices that visually alert deaf drivers to sirens. Idiots driving with headphones on, do not have either the practice dealing with processing visual only data, or the benefit of such devices.

Saw, and got to audition a pair of an older AKG K240.
