For example while you're watching porn, playing your favorite game, video, or listening to your favorite track (preferably on something that isn't portable - duh), somebody calls for your help and you need to lift your ass off your chair, what do you do?
A) Remove your ear/headphones jack and wear it along as you vacate from your seat.
B) Take off your ear/headphones. Leave it and proceed to lift your ass.

Me: A! B takes a lot of effort to do.

Shouldn't this be in the audiophilia thread?
I usually do B, because there's usually a popping sound when you reconnect your headphones to the source, especially if it's a high current source. It's not good for the drivers inside your headphones/earbuds.

Will take note of this. Never thought of it that way.

I'd go for B. It's not that much of an effort for me to pause the audio and remove the headphones from my ears.

I used to do this all the time, until the person in authority who wanted to speak to me went ahead and banned all headphones and earbuds

Panalo.
I used to do A, but now that I've read Jake's reply I'll start doing option B.

A! remove jack then plug it in iPod/Phone etc. It's a bad habit I recently got. Even if I'm talking to someone, I'd just stop playing music. It's kinda rude even though I tell them it's not playing. XP
