[QUOTE="Rawrzxor, post: 1340073, member: 51342"] I was very disappointed to learn that we couldn't bring ipods or phones into the warehouse. I understand why, but I'm thinking I might be willing to risk a confiscation for a while in order to listen to music while loading trailers. However, one day a few months ago, when it was still cold, I saw someone in the hub with earphones discreetly on in his trailer when I was sent over there. I asked him how he got them in, but he didn't want to say. However, it got me thinking when I remembered it, today. Out of curiosity, I stumbled upon this beauty: [URL='http://smile.amazon.com/DBPOWER-Bluetooth-Headphones-Microphone-Handsfree/dp/B00IXGXS7A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402188439&sr=8-2&keywords=smallest+wireless+headphones']http://smile.amazon.com/DBPOWER-Bluetooth-Headphones-Microphone-Handsfree/dp/B00IXGXS7A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402188439&sr=8-2&keywords=smallest wireless headphones[/URL] I think these would be perfect for anyone with long hair, or anyone during the winter months with a hoody on. :D The only issue might be that it falls out while you're moving around. That would suck. And it can only play music for like 2-5 hours on a full charge. But still pretty awesome! Oh! Or the radio! That would be so cool. Listening to NPR while working would make work go by a lot faster. Coupled with my tiny ipod nano, I think I might give this a try. I hardly use the nano anyway, so if it gets confiscated for a bit, no biggie. Probably only leave one bud in so that I can still hear the supervisors screaming at me.
