Not 100%, but more than if I decided not to listen because I’m worried I’m not absorbing everything.

I wouldn’t listen to the War and Peace audiobook, but something like the Hardcore History podcast? Yeah, for sure.

I guess this is why I like long form audio content so much, I can listen to it in the background and still get chores done.

Another added bonus is that the battery isn’t hard to replace. Mine stopped turning on and I decided to replace the battery as quick speculative fix. Worked like a charm. Sadly the headband is worse for wear and isn’t easily replaced.
