I know this message is ridiculously late in response, Brice, but I have my ear buds with me all the time and can enjoy complete privacy with my screen curtain on as well. Even in very noisy environments, you can hear the speech if it is turned up loudly enough. I like the buds because you can still hear people and still be aware of your surroundings while texting or playing around with your apps. I find the buds particularly handy when I'm listening to blind square tell me where I am. If done safely, you can even cross busy streets with only one ear bud in if you take out the bud in your ear where the parallel traffic comes from.
The only time I have blind square coming from my external speaker is when I am in a cab. This lets the driver know that he can't pull one over on me. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brice Smith Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 9:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Listening to Voiceover Hi, I'm curious to know how you all listen and use your phones when you're out in public. Do you use earbuds and an earpiece, or do you turn the speech down low and do your best? In noisy environments most people can just look down at their phones. If you use speech, you want to be able to hear the speech without everyone else hearing it or becoming distracted by it, too. Sometimes I'll just hold the phone up toward my shoulder/ear and type/text so I can keep the volume down real low for privacy, but this looks really odd and unprofessional. I've thought about grabbing an earpiece or earbuds, but I usually forget, or it's just something else to charge and keep track of. What works for you?
