    No, but I would like to. Actually nobody told me I can't, but I am working openspace with people coming to me every now and then, and I find it rude to have to remove the headphones every time. :-O Damn, keep getting errors today. :mad:

    You know, few people make crazy things here. They dont plugin their headphones into the socket properly. So it'd be audible in their headphones and also through the built-in speakers.. they keep the volume high enough to bring every eyes onto their cubilcle. In the end someone would go to his place and tell him to stop his "broadcast" :-D

      Yes, and I work in a "office" of my own, so no need for the earphones most of the time :) Well, actually not an "office", it's more like an empty cubicle area... I'm the only one here most of the time! :-D -- Nicola

        As long as you don't stream music, that is not allowed. Bringing your own is not a problem.

              Not at all. Not even with headphones. They're afraid we might not be working. :rolleyes: Sometimes it'd be nice to have on noise-cancelling headphones, even with no music!

                  I don't think I could get through the day without some background music. I listen to quiet sounds from my speakers in the office. Ironically headphones are frowned upon, as it takes 'extra' effort to gain a blokes attention:)

                    Not to do so would be silly. I have sound cancelling headphones too, it is sweet.

                              I agree ;) I sometime put earphones on even though I'm not really listening music:cool:: this makes people think I won't pay attention to them and don't disturb me if not really necessary. There's a side effect, though: if someone come to speak to my colleague, he feels free to shout, since I won't hear: so I have to turn music on....:mad:
