Living in a walking city like New York, my earbuds are a constant accessory as I navigate the subway, gym, work, and even the grocery store. And while ANC earbuds get more impressive with each iteration, it becomes harder to hear your surroundings, like a coffee order or something more dire. That said, the one-bud phenomenon is real. I’m constantly finding myself only walking around with one earbud in or fumbling to quickly take one out.
