[QUOTE="thill, post: 512933, member: 4972"] Not a bad idea, depending on the headset. Some block sound, others don't. The ones that block sound well are great when working on a car, doing yardwork and shooting guns, but being aware of your surroundings is always a good idea. If you have music playing low while you fish, you can hear something fall over in your boat, a drag clicking, something change in your engine sound when running, a stupid boater barreling toward you while you are drifting, or whatever. With earphones, you may not be able to hear much, besides the music. Personally, I use my headset daily. I need my hands free to work, but I need to talk to customers, too. I just have to be careful when playing music. More than once, I've paused, wondering what a noise was, and then turn around and see someone standing right behind me, usually my wife, telling me dinner is ready. On the water, I usually only put one earbud in. [/QUOTE]
