I don't think it could be considered rude unless you're in a situation where you're supposed to be paying attention, like at a lecture or concert or something.<br /><br />Though I once had a museumKristinMHhttp://scintillator.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283977111907193493.post-52840405043376382532010-01-28T10:30:14.900-05:002010-01-28T10:30:14.900-05:00I like the kind of earbuds that actually fit insid...I like the kind of earbuds that actually fit inside my ears and block out external noise.

If walking around borged (with phone clipped to ear; Bluetooth?) excites no comment, I can't see why earbuds would even register.

It's not like you're cutting people off mid conversation or being otherwise pointed about it. (I’m picturing House doing it to kill a conversation if there are any fans of the show reading.)
