Can you see their iPod? Or could it be their handsfree device for their phone and they decide to use the wired one instead of a bluetooth?

When I'm driving out of town, chances are, there will be an ear bud in my left ear. Why? not because I'm listening to music, but rather, that's the handsfree for my phone. I don't need bluetooth when a wired one comes with my phone.

If I'm trying to talk to someone and they have their earbuds/headphones on, I'd find that extremely rude if they don't take them off, like hang it around your neck or something so they're not directly in or on your ears.

Otherwise, if they're doing some sort of individual activity (running walking, jogging), I have no problems with provided that they are visually aware of their surroundings so that they don't run into traffic and such. when you're drowned out in your music, you may be less attentive than you are without music.
