I wear headphones everyday as part of my work
(commercial broadcast radio). One of the first
things I was taught by the Chief Engineer at
WRKO back in the early 70's was NEVER to wear
any "cans" other than my own pair. It is a
sure fire way to pick up all kinds of germs and
diseases by wearing headphones that have been on
someone elses head. That is a rule that I have
never breached in over 55+ years in the
industry, and have passed it on to many newbies.</div>
