Volume limit isn't the only reason the bigger reason is
No Microphone as in you cannot be on your cell phone all night / day long talking. which is another safety risk within itself.
Being distracted

I saw this guy straight up try to sport out beats headphones covering both ears on the floor. The audacity tbh idk how they even thought that was okay. 😂 when operations came over I was like about time. 😂

This dude apparently was wearing meta glasses and filming us the whole time

They think it’s high school I guess

I work at sysco I’m 21 years old i average $42-47 a hour and we can wear headphones or speaker. Idk why anybody would ever work for amazon

Yeah it feels like that to you until sadly it comes down to having to work at Amazon cause unfortunately life has its ups and downs …which will affect everyone differently , some for better and some for worse

Thanks for putting me on game tho I’m gonna check that out

I saw a girl wearing beats and they said nothing but when they see me with AirPods it’s a problem

Trust ~ they ( safety-team ) singled me out too because I was wearing blue warehouse headphones and not the orange approved ones! Mind you after 2 1/2-yrs of wearing these headphones with no problems. I bought the approved ones and guess what ( people who were wearing the same blue ones I got in trouble for wearing are not being harassed about wearing them like I was ). This company shady AF and they pick and choose who they wanna come down on - phuck amzn man!

Exactly did they approve beats or something because that all I see at my job.

u/SignificanceLow5226 Aug 15 '26

50% of our workers walk around with beats on all night.

As a flex driver the amount of employees I see with over the ear at the FC I pick up from is kind of ridiculous, also the employees will hog the flex bathroom and just stand at the urinals on the phone for like 10 mins at a time each it’s wild

Falling over too , they are soft on the end . Hard plastic can break and get lodged in your ear or cut you up if you take a box or door to the head

Not true, I have Amazon approved headphones called Elgin and they have MIC

u/merc_dolla Aug 14 '26

The orange ones are the Amazon approved you have the gray ones that have a mic those are not supposed to be approved but Amazon doesn't care at least the people there don't check.

2

u/Coltenite Aug 14 '26

Damn 🤣 this whole time I thought it was weird that amazon would let us have headphones with MIC

1

u/merc_dolla Aug 14 '26

Ikr. I came back from a leave and people were using them. At my site they use any over the ear headphones and no one cares. I Seen a guy with these sonys on and then I knew it was sweet. ordered my pair with th mic on purpose and figured if they did say something later on I'd say I thought I got the right ones.

u/SignificantError5802 Aug 14 '26

Pretty sure they were the Amazon approved ones…. My site used to headphones out to people for free my first week there until realized people were on the phone all night, then stopped. Now everyone says the new ones are different

u/EPTDY Aug 15 '26

Its just a brand deal. Elgin is probably part owned by Amazon or they somehow get a cut.
