A benefit of earbuds (any type), it makes it much it MUCH easier to avoid unwanted conversations without coming off as rude. People at booths wanting to talk to you for a second, people in general that you don't really want to talk to, all types of scenerios. Without the headphones I feel slight pressure to at least hear them out for a second even if I really don't want to.
