Headphones are a pair of over-ear headphones. They plug into a radio, a walkie talkie or a CD player. With them in place, the device plays silently for the wearer.
Any sound a device makes can draw zombies. Headphones let a survivor listen to the radio or to music without that risk. They are light and easy to keep in a bag.
They are common in band practice rooms, music stores and pawn shops. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.
Using
Headphones go into the device's headphones slot. The slot is in the radio info panel, and the headphones are dragged into it. After that, broadcasts and other players can be heard with no noise in the world.
That keeps a quiet safehouse quiet. Emergency broadcasts and other radio news can play all day without attracting zombies.
Headphones also count as a small electronic item. Dismantle Electronics can take them apart for parts.
Locations
Band practice rooms are the best place to look, with headphones in boxes and on shelves half the time. CD stores and music stores are good too. Pawn shop counters hold a pair about one time in five. Army storage and military crates turn them up now and then. Closets, sheds, electronics stores and bedroom boxes give smaller chances. Zombies in varsity outfits sometimes carry a pair.
