No, I need to be aware of my surroundings.

This. I don't get how people can have headphones on when going for walks or running outside. I have to know what's going on around me and know if someone is coming up behind.

Depends what the nature of me walking down the street is.

If I'm on my way to the train station to go down to London, yes.

If I'm going across the road to buy some milk, no.

I know. And have you ever seen people drive with headphones in... it just looks ridiculous.

It's illegal to do that here but yes I've seen it. It looks dumb as hell. :P

Not really. I use them when I'm sitting around. Nothing to do with being aware of my surroundings. I don't blast them that loud to the point where I don't know what's going on. Or maybe it's cause it's a college campus.

I listen to music when I walk yes... I rely more on my eyes to see what is happening around me than my hearing. Besides if someone on a bike wants to pass me and actually make some sound to indicate that they want to pass me, I hear it and move out of the way.

Pretty much this, unless I am going to some sort of a presentation or to an exam. Then I put my music away to concentrate :P

Yes, although I don't have them at ridiculous volumes, I can hear people if they talk to me even though they are in-earphones.

There is a shuttle bus that takes us from my apartment to my university (it's like a 3 to 5 minute drive). I'll sometimes listen to music on the bus then just keep listening to music while I walk about 10 minutes to my class.

No. I always assume that people are either trying to get my attention or someone might be out to get me. If either one is happening, I want my ears to be music free.

Never. I need to be aware of my surroundings. I wouldn't be able to focus on the music because I'd be paranoid someone was coming up behind be or something like that.
