I in turn have walked right into a guy at the gym that was doing deadlifts, because I was busy changing playlists, and wasn't paying attention.
Great devices, but man they can be hazardous to your health.

One of many reasons why I don't own one and never will. It's a distraction that can lead to situations like the above. Besides I like my hearing and don't want to be a part of generation that will be using hearing aids later in life.
