Not sure if this is common, but when listening through headphones on a public service or in the car, I am constantly making sure no one else can hear it. Not because I'm embarrased about the music, but because I know how annoying it can be to faintly hear other peoples music.
Also, hi-hats are the worst sound to hear. They sound so tinny and shit when you're not the person listening, and they can be heard by others about as much as the listener can hear them.

when I was younger, I used to make sure everybody could hear what I was listening to. It was like "haha I'm listening to better music than you'll ever know.. FUCK YOU bus cunts"
Now I ride a bike with bud earphones under my helmet, so its pretty safe to say they can't hear me.

you cant hear mine when they're on my head but as soon as i take them off POW you're blasted with power of electronic music. then people give me weird looks. so i just make sure i dont take them off on the bus.
do other people besides you actually listen to any similar music to you? cause all anyone ever listens to around here is bad hip-hop and indie rock.

You wear a helmet? Wow. I figured most people were lazy or didn't care enough too. I'm proud. :]

I love wearing headphones when walking into busy intersections or bus terminals. Places with lots of traffic to drown out all the noise.

i dont know, i just always thought it was. i didn't say it made sense. <3 I think the old guy who taught my drivers education class said it was, but god knows why i would believe him.
anyway, i only get paranoid like that when i bring my laptop along and use it in a public place. i dont really know why. usually its just class stuff anyway.

on the bus i try to have my music quiet enough to not be heard, but loud enough to drown out screaming kids, kappa slappers on the phone saying 'whateva', old people moaning, other people with their music too loud....

know what you mean - when i get on a bus or into an elevator i always turn the volume down. but actually i dunno if this is because because i don't want to annoy anyone or because i'm afraid of people asking me "what do you listen to"
the case solved itself quite good after buying myself some closedcircuit sennheisers. the amount of noise getting out is really minimal

When I wear headphones I have to watch they don't fall out of my ears. Because they quite often do.

i like to wear those real soundproof ones, where its completly silent without music at first, then i like to put on some "i care because you do", close my eyes and walk into busy traffic.

I hear voices saying my name when I'm listening to music on headphones, I constantly have to pause it and look around.
