 Depends on where we are. In a public place, yes. If in a conversation I might remove one of them. 
 So you're having lunch with a friend, only one ear pod comes out? Is the other ear pod playing music? Or just in your ear? 
 Just in my ear, as sound reduction. If alone, both are on, sometimes listening to music or podcast, but often just off. 
 I see, this is quite an interesting answer 🤔

I am assuming you are not considering your conversation with your friend as noise (?) 🤔🤔 lol 
 No, in fact I think I keep one on so that I don’t get too distracted by what’s around me. Squirrel!!!
