People who hike with speakers blaring are a strange breed that I’m likely to never understand.
Like, why listen to music in the first place while hiking? I’m out here in the woods to get as far away from civilization as I can. I don’t need $latest_popstar dragging me back.
I use headphones to listen to music or audio books while hiking, walking or exercising. I enjoy it, and also a useful tool to stop mental self-talk while being able to enjoy the surrounds.
But playing music over speakers that would interrupt the tranquillity of other people trying to enjoy the quiet and space is very not cool.
