Can only listen to music when doing hand work as I have hearing protection on when the power tools are in play. But man I do like turning the music on when using files and sand paper. Then it is time for Rage Against the Machine, Disturbed, Tool, Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, Metallica, Hailstorm, Bush, Seven Mary Three, Slipknot,,,,you know - stuff like that, anything loud and hard. Listen to it when I am shooting too.
