I run with headphones because I can't stand the sound of my breathing and my feet hitting the pavement. If I can hear myself breathe I find it harder to get into a good rhythm. Or if I can hear other people who are heavily mouth breathing and I mean in the very, very obnoxious sense of mouth breathing. There is a local guy who every three or four deep breaths will make a loud grunting noise. I find it very distracting.
I'm someone that get's frustrated with noise too. Unfortunately I run with Aftershokz headphones, which are awesome when I'm outside and want to remain aware of my surroundings. They are less awesome when there are loud people next to me on the treadmill. There is a lady at our gym that smacks herself up and down her legs with cupped hands the whole time she walks on the treadmill. I am not sure what it's supposed to do to her legs, but it is kind of annoying. I wish I had closed headphones on the days that she gets on the treadmill next to me.
