    Yes, it’s walking around outside while listening to music that is a niche usage. I know that some people do it and can’t live without it, but I tend to feel that is unusual. It’s annoying to see “these earphones let you keep hearing other people’s conversations around you” as if that was a desirable feature, which it almost never is.

      The Walkman, introduced in the 80’s, would like a word. As would the first electronic handheld radios in the 60’s.

      Niche? You keep using that word. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
