I was walking in downtown KC one time with ear buds in, just minding my own business strolling around at lunch time. I got to a street corner and almost walked right in front of a bus. I was right at the edge of the curb and the bus was literally a few inches from my face but I had the earbuds in so I couldn't really hear any street noise to know the bus was coming.
I've never walked around on the street with both ear buds in since that day. I have to hear the street noise otherwise I zone out and am oblivious to the world around me.
