This is something I've been experimenting with the past few days as I recently bought a pair of really nice Bose headphones, and I notice a really different reaction from girls when I approach them with my headphones on.

What I do is, I'm going about my day listening to music when I spot a girl I'd like to approach. I walk slightly ahead of her, then turn and wave a hand in front of her and give a big smile. Usually she will stop. I then take off my headphones, say "Hi" (taking my time to milk the tension a little as @alexlaguma described in his journal - great little tactic that), then open with a direct non-looks-based compliment (or if she's particularly stunning, a plain direct compliment).

Out of 20 or so approaches, I've not had a single girl ignore me or not stop. That's a small sample size obviously so I'm going to keep testing, but so far the results seem promising.

I think it achieves a few things:
- Disarms her fears about you being a weirdo/salesman (a guy wearing headphones like that surely isn't a rapist, right?)
- Creates intrigue - it obviously looks like you were just going about your day when you decided to approach her
- Gives her one clue about you: that you are musical. So far I haven't had a girl ask what music I'm listening to, but if you happen to approach a musical girl it could instantly create similarity.

If you're into daygame, give it a try next time and let me know what you think gents.

Should mention the obvious bonus that listening to your favorite music puts you in a relaxed state of mind. This no doubt has an effect on your vibe when opening.
