headphomo

I really needed to put in my AirPods and watch the rest of this lecture, but my study buddies were gossiping and I felt major headphomo.

headphone dent 

A condition that occurs when one wears headphones for an extended period of time, forcing the hair on the center of one's head to be pressed down, creating the appearance of a dent in the center of one's head.

My brother had a killer headphone dent after he spent all day in his room watching YouTube videos.

headphonaut 

1. the melding of the words headphone and astronaut
2. Someone who listens to music (some would say in excess) on their (often high quality) headphones, often associated with persons into the more atmospheric and trip hop styles of the electronica genre. These persons are often engrossed with 1 or more elements of the music such as production, layering, nuances of sound, etc. and often lean towards introversion.
3. a trip hop group from MS (US)

He is a headphonaut.

RIP Headphone Users

When people upload videos that are unnecessarily and surprisingly loud, even at normal volume, giving the impression that the loudness killed people who use headphones due to their proximity to the ears.

YouTube video: "Barney sings I love you"
Audio (volume X9999): "I LOVE YOU YOU LOVE ME WE'RE A HAPPY FAMILY!"

Headphone Blocked

The result of having a conversation with someone and getting no response. Then turning around and realizing that person had his headphones on this whole time.

Mario: Yo Mike I can't believe you cut this guy from your fantasy basketball team. He's really been lighting it up lately. (Long pause.......Turns around and sees Mike listening to his headphones)

Mario: Fuck!! I just got headphone blocked.

iPod headphones 

the headphones created by Apple, they are the biggest pain in the ass because they will tangle up even if you are not using your ipod.

Don't ever turn your back on your ipod headphones because they will tie themselves into a friggin' knot, or bundle up like a ball of yarn in Grandma's house.
