IIRC, you can listen to music through headphones or ear buds if you want (as long as you aren’t communicating with people outside of the field). I would double check with your EP or the refs about it before you compete.
I would also make sure you leave the volume low enough so you can still talk with your alliance partners midmatch. But it’s totally understandable to need music playing to get focused.
Y’all gotta stop hounding on my boy XD. Just use some wired headphones. Uploading: 212168BE-B5ED-448A-ADCB-9C3C2B92DAD3.png…
If ur into this sort of music
There is some discussion here about the legality/safety of listening to music during matches:
Yeah i said i have wired. Its the ones that come with an iphone
K that’s what I thought. Idk y everyone hear is talking abt the legality of Bluetooth headphones.
Me either. I clearly said they were wired
Also were u linking something
Bro. Can we like be best friends. Billy joel, elton john, and elvis
Lol
This is a forum post with a Spotify playlist that’s like 1000 songs
I don’t think I would be able to find the post in reference, but I think it being stated that it would be fine to use wired earbuds as long as you only had 1 in (so you could still hear the referee’s calls).
On the other hand, why not try a teammate? You get three people in the drive booth, You drive, another guy communicates with your alliance, and the third guy becomes your personal radio.
You can never go wrong with Shrek the Musical
(I listen to it daily and have turned out just fine)
Please do…

As a coach/mentor, my take is this. If you are standing at the field as part of the drive team, you should have a role to play at the field. You are either driving, co-driving or you are coaching the driver/drivers. Otherwise, what is your purpose being there? And if you have a role, you wold need to hear and be heard. So having ear buds in might make it difficult to do that. Each team is different, so your team can do as they choose. But my opinion is that you should only be at the field if you have an actual active role to play, If you are just spectating, there are usually stands for that.
Our driver used to do this actually. Just keep the music low and keep only one headphone in. Idk if it’s ok according to official rules, but we were never told that we couldn’t do it. At the very least, it’s okay for regionals
Listen to classic christmas music or 60’s rock and roll
Music is a distraction and can even tune out your teammates that need your help during the match. Plus in the heat of the moment you should not listen to music unless you plan to lose
Agreed. There is no good reason to be wearing headphones if you are on the drive team.
