Since I always use the Stereo element with the Telinga, I have little
problem locating without removing the headphones. With mono it would be
necessary.
If I need to remove them I generally just push them to one side rather
than removing them all the way. I also have a headlamp on, and it would
get real awkward to get the headphones all the way on and off without
catching the headlamp too.
Also, one handing headphones on and off puts a fair amount of strain on
their joints. Not a big problem when it was all metal, but so much of it
is plastic now.
