In the past it has never bothered me when my opponents wore headphones, I have even considered it myself from time to time just to see if it would put me in the zone, until recently.........A few weeks ago I was playing a decent size 9 ball tournament with a $90 entry fee, it was in the late stages on the second day, I was trouncing my opponent handily and sitting on the hill, as my opponent was desperately trying to run out they blatantly double hit the 5 ball, you could clearly hear it, but could my opponent hear it? I'm sure they felt it and had they heard it they would of known how blatant it was and I'm guessing conceded ball in hand to me........But NO....they just keep on shooting with that Snoop Dogg tune blaring away and making no eye contact with me. Had they not have been wearing headphones I could of at least said..(C'mon, you telling' me you didn't hear that double hit....and centered them out a bit at least).........oh ya, and I don't like when you have to give your opponent sign language when they are on two fouls.
