"so you can still hear the world around you"
Isn't that the exact opposite reason of why people wear headphones?
As a person, no. Most people maybe. It's incredibly liberating to not feel like you are missing out on the world around you sometimes (and safer). Sure sometimes I want to duck out and place my big puffy over ear speakers on and block everything out, but for day to day use for navigation, podcasts, phone conversations, AI interactions, and some stereo background music - this is exactly what this person wants.
I too am a person and totally not an AI driven bot fellow human.
As a fellow human, I enjoy being bipedal and metabolizing oxygen. Purchasing luxury products such as these Bose headphones is also an enjoyable human behavior.
Yes hi I am real man hey do you want to go skateboards?
Good human.
