I am sure at some point wearing headphones was incredibly embarrassing in public.


I think it still comes across as rude or offputting.


Which point?


I don't know about headphones, but using a cell phone in public was at one point considered rude/embarrassing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Finale_(Seinfeld)


I wouldn't go out wearing a pair of those fuzzy-padding headband ones. Monochromatic earbuds? Absolutely.
