Headphones, In the Field? - Episode 55
On today's episode we talk about whether you should wear headphones in the field. And, if you do, what you should wear! We even include a few gear reviews for you, including the Apple AirPods - quite possibly the best field headphones (Webster's opinion). As always, ask your company's representative about their headphone policy before you decide to use them.
