Would you take a speaker on a solo holiday?

[itssoeasy]

To use in your Airbnb and on the beach?

Take it.
Other people will be playing their music much louder than yours.

I use a Bluetooth speaker abroad and I use headphones/ ear buds.

No one hears either!

Apartment/air bnb no problem but sorry op noise carries and I wouldn't want to be listening to your music on the beach either. Why not wear one earbud and leave the other out if you want to be more aware of surroundings. Playing music on the beach is quite entitled. If we all did it can you imagine how awful it would sound?

You’re not listening, are you OP? Ironically.

Music on the beach, no. Please don’t. It’s so antisocial. I don’t want to hear any music at any volume from anyone else on the beach. No.

Why do I want to have to listen to your music in public?! Wear headphones.

Get some bone conduction headphones, then. Then you can hear everything around you as well as your music, but you’re not being an antisocial yob spoiling everyone else's holiday.

Yes in the accommodation bit on the beach is antisocial

Only if it’s for use inside your accommodation.

There should be a place in hell reserved for selfish people who inflict their music on others.

I also read with my ear buds in.

Jesus.

Tbh 20 mins of Gregorian chants as the buzz of the first cocktail hits doesn't sound too bad

I’m putting my side across, I am allowed to do that?

Your own personal beach? Do what you like!

A public beach? No.

A yob 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely not. If I'm trying to read on the beach, why would I want your music on a speaker near me? Why should people with completely different taste in music need to hear your shite?

Headphones here

That’s just an excuse. It’s rude and antisocial and not necessary.

Have sex on the beach instead of music. Mightn't be quieter, but those around you will enjoy the view more than listening to your godawful music.

No, not at all.

Firstly, it’s not shite.

Secondly, it’s really common for my area? You always get groups down at the beach at the weekend listening to music.

If your music was quiet through headphones (and they aren’t noise cancelling ones) then you will hear what is going on around you. If however you are one of these people who plays their music loud then it’s also an indication of how loud you will play your speaker. Don’t be that twat. It’s people like you that makes us very selective with where we go

Where did these anti social people pop up from. Is it a generational thing. I see them on the train all the time playing their music and watching films. Honestly so weird. Like they were raised by wild
dogs and suddenly joined normal society, but so many of them 😡

right, now imagine every person on the beach having their own music blaring out.

It’s certainly really common

No. Please don’t be so selfish.

It would only bother me if I didn’t like the music you were playing and it was blaring. If you’re not sat too close to people and it’s on a reasonable volume you’ll be fine.
