I don´t like headphones or earbuds in general
Same here, but then putting the phone speaker on does not sound ideal as well. If you remember, last time my accident in the cycle was because of that Panasonic headphone :) So what you said is absolutely right - it is very dangerous unless you are walking or running at a place where no vehicle movement is happening. Since I am doing the workouts inside our society park (though small), its ok. When I go for a cycle ride, I keep it in the Car - never ever doing the same mistake.
Here in EU, the warranty is 2 years on everything you buy. It´s the law.
That's nice, at least it will ensure quality. Some products here come with just 3 months warranty.
Yeah, I remember you wrote about such accident yourself too. I just was not sure if that happened to you or someone in your family / friends. What you say about using headphones in safe places like parks is true but I would still feel uncomfortable not being able to hear what´s happening around me. To me, it kind of feels like being deaf :) I like to listen to music too but I only do it where I can have the speaker on and where I don´t bother anyone with is, so pretty much just at home :D
