Headphones Equal Isolation	comment	One of the easiest ways to let people know that you want to be left alone is to wear a pair of headphones. Either you won't be able to hear other people, or they will assume that you can't hear them. It is an easy way to show that a character is trying to drown out reality and other people. This trope is either used symbolically, where the headphones are a side effect of their isolation or deliberately when the character does this on purpose. The Scary Shiny Glasses can often do this too, in a creepier fashion. It's also possible to use this impression to gather information: If people assume you can't hear or aren't paying attention, they might talk freely behind your back, and if you don't actually have the headphones playing any sound, you should be able to hear them with just a little muffling. On the negative side, using them can also put you at risk of being mugged or worse, due to the music drowning out the sound of the approach of an opportunistic criminal. This is especially true of those who use them while exercising, such as joggers. Possibly moving towards Discredited Trope territory, now that traditional bulky headphones are being replaced with much smaller earbuds (although in the late 2010s, large headphones appear to be making a comeback, especially wireless ones). However, some works may deliberately invoke this trope by having a character choose large headphones over earbuds precisely for this reason. Meanwhile people who are easily overwhelmed by ambient noise may wear ear defenders, or use noise-cancelling headphones. Wearing headphones doesn't tune everything out in real life — smells, the floor rumbling, etc. — but can be used this way in fiction for the Rule of Funny. Compare Ignoring by Singing (the character deliberately makes noise and/or covers his ears to avoid listening) and Fake Static (the character pretends to be unable to hear or understand a transmission). Contrast Bonding Through Shared Earbuds, which is the complete opposite; headphones, specifically earbuds, being used to facilitate companionship with others.

The first line in the prologue mentions briefly that Shinji's SDAT is sitting on his desk, gathering dust. The last line (after the reveal that Shinji and Asuka have a Secret Relationship) points out his tape player has been gathering dust because it has not been touched in two months, since "retreat and escape from the world were no longer needed."

Headphones Equal Isolation / int_1b021fcb	comment	Played with in Tokyo Ghoul and its sequel, :Re. In the original series, the outgoing Hide Nagachika frequently wears headphones around his neck. When he is seen wearing them over his ears, it's either to illustrate his eccentric personality or his loneliness when Kaneki has been avoiding him. Considering his Obfuscating Stupidity and tendency to eavesdrop on people, the headphones likely also aid in making people not take him seriously. In the sequel, the sullen Kuki Urie frequently wears earbuds to avoid dealing with others. He's seen wearing them less and less after the major Time Skip, as part of his development.

Fitting at the start when he's shy and uncertain of how to convey his buried feelings to Kotonoha, but later a combination between creepy and smug bastardry; after he gets 'bored' with Kotonoha and becomes cold to her, she trips over in the street. Before everyone's eyes, he just calmly turns around, hands in pockets, earphones on, strolls slowly over to her and... doesn't help her up.

It's so loud and so distracting that Obfusco walking by him can hear it as he and Olive, sitting at her own desk, exchange dirty looks, and Otto can't hear Olive herself when she tries to say something to him. It takes her slowly enunciating her words to get Otto to turn the music off and pay attention to what she's saying.

Headphones Equal Isolation / int_5921531a	comment	Apparently, the main character from Persona 3 had this before he got to the school and had to start making social links. Particularly blatant in that he ignored everything and everyone around him and kept wearing them even when they stopped working during the Dark Hour, but he took them off when he arrived at his new home in Iwatodai. Amusingly, maxing Fuuka's Social Link gets him new headphones as the Link Item. An additional, blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment of parallel symbolism in Persona 3's Aigis: her head is built with a pair of spinner-like objects instead of ears, with a diadem joining them, so she also appears to be wearing headphones all the time (in reality they're the Orgia Mode actuators.) In the very last ending cinema, when she no longer speaks in a robotic voice but as a fully idealized human being, she's drawn with human hands, skin, and ears. And in Persona 4, Yosuke has his own set of headphones, and starts out as a City Boy having difficulty settling into rural Inaba. Though outside of battle, he is never seen with the headphones actually on- merely around his neck.

Headphones Equal Isolation / int_8ee238c9	comment	The Persona games made under Katsura Hashino's direction all have at least one character that invokes this trope: The hero of Persona 3 wears his headphones and MP3 player throughout the game, and the opening cinema establishes his detachment from the world around him. His Spirit Advisor soon appears and teases him about it, saying "you can't plug your ears and cover your eyes", and he gradually develops friendships and emotional connections throughout the course of the game. He still keeps the headphones around his neck all the time, though. Yosuke Hanamura from Persona 4 does this as well. Granted, he wears his headphones around his neck outside of battle even while he's opening up and being friendly to people, but he really does hate living in a small town. Then there is Futaba Sakura from Persona 5. She's introduced as a Hikikomori who absolutely freezes up in most social situations, and it's implied she wears them to drown out her auditory hallucinations. That said, she still keeps the headphones even after she begins to open up to others.

Unfortunately, said person was listening to music on his headphones and didn't hear him, and the redshirt ends up devoured by dinosaurs. Later in the movie, it apparently takes throwing a stone at his head to get his attention.

In fact, the first time you hear about Rinko if you started your game at spring, it's when a female student tells her friend how Rinko ignored her greeting and doesn't seem to fit in with the other students. She eventually removes the headphones after you go out with her for the second time in the first part of the game. It's a small change, but it shows the Character Development.

Actually, she killed Doug. In Dual Destinies, Athena was much more introverted during her childhood and wore heavy headphones whenever she went out in public. Justified since the headphones were made to protect her from having a Sensory Overload from her special sense of hearing detecting everyone's emotions at once.
