@cliftonite Yep, exactly. I prefer the not-totally-unaware-of-the-outside-world state it endows. 1 earphone listening FTW IMHO YMMV FYI BYOB
@cliftonite So I can still hear the real world with the other ear. I know it’s abnormal for those dealing with code, but it’s how I function
For any other one-earphone-while-at-work listeners like me: System Preferences > Universal Access > Hearing > Play stereo audio as mono.
