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>
