  • To me they act like earplugs, physically blocking the four industrial cooling units, the two packing machines, a jacarder, and two band saws from bothering me. The music is a side benefit.

    Airpod type stickbuds can not block this much noise.

    My alternative is foam earplugs for gun ranges rated at 32 decible noise reduction. They just dont play music

    (Added: noise canceling doesnt work in my situation, so actual noise blocking is ideal)



  • There is the, “oops sorry” part where you apologize for being in their way but they dont mind it (good relationship goals)

    Also hands touching is big, even if by accident.

    I think the takeaway is that in the right situation this is cute and fun.

    Also the thought that they are in the way of the snacks is also a side of this: you aren’t compatible enough to share snacks with. (If your s/o is gatekeeping snacks is your turn to buy better snacks (or leave xD))
