    I spent much of my career in the music business, with a significant portion in the audiophile audio business. ALL car stereo systems are a shitty compromise to real high quality audio.

      I used to have a 2006 Dakota quad cab with a better sound system than most living rooms. There is a reason car audio is a giant market. I can’t even take you seriously.

        It’s a giant market because people spend a lot of money on it, mostly being loud. Loud is not the same as high quality sound.

            Nope, i made a living in that world for a long time. I know it well. A vehicle is the worst sound environment possible.

              Just the fact that you think wearing head phones while driving is ok tells me all I need to know about you lol

                People wear headphones doing lots of activities far more dangerous than driving, like running down the street, yet nobody considers that dangerous.

                Buncha old ladies in this thread.

                  “everyone is wrong but me”

                  Your not driving a 3600lb metal box that can turn anything it hits into paste walking down the street. You clearly are not a serious person.

                    A handful of posts from judgemental people is not “everyone.” Spend a day anywhere, and count the headphones/ earbuds you see, and clearly there are a lot of people on my side. They are literally EVERYWHERE.

                    I remember when i got my first Walkman player in the early 80s, when they were brand-new. I was shocked at the nasty looks I’d get from people in the mall, just for wearing headphones. Apparently, I have to be fully prepared at all times to hear some grand pronouncement from some stranger. Apparently, after 50 years, those nasty old biddies still exist. News flash: I care more about my music/ podcast/ audiobook than ANY opinion you have.

                    Headphones/ Ear Buds are more popular than ever, accept it.
