× Before I get to them I always listen to music or listen to different kinds to different kind of podcasts maybe.
✓ Before I see them, I always listen to music or to different kinds of podcasts, maybe.
The original sentence misuses 'get to them' for meeting people and repeats 'listen to' awkwardly; 'kinds to different kind of' is incorrect collocation. Use 'see them' or 'meet them' and 'different kinds of podcasts'. Also maintain parallel structure: 'listen to music or to different kinds of podcasts'. (Explanation in Russian: В оригинале неверно употреблено 'get to them' вместо 'see them' и неправильно повторена фраза 'kinds to different kind of'. Следует использовать 'different kinds of' и параллельную конструкцию 'listen to music or to different kinds of podcasts'.)
× It depends on my mood indeed uh because sometimes I can wear like earphones uh, because I don't want to look like too heavy uh, with my outfit.
✓ It depends on my mood, because sometimes I wear earphones when I don't want to look too heavy with my outfit.
Use simple present 'wear' instead of 'can wear' for habitual actions; 'look like too heavy' is incorrect — say 'look too heavy'. Remove filler words and duplicate 'because'. (Explanation in Russian: Для описания привычного действия используется простое настоящее 'wear', а не 'can wear'. Фраза 'look like too heavy' некорректна; правильно 'look too heavy'. Уберите повторы и заполнители.)
× Uh, sometimes I wear headphones uh, because it's like more comfortable uh, with basic SH uh, basic fits.
✓ Sometimes I wear headphones because they are more comfortable with basic outfits.
Use 'they are' to refer to headphones (plural). 'It's like more comfortable' is conversational filler; use 'they are more comfortable'. 'Basic SH basic fits' is unclear; replace with 'basic outfits'. (Explanation in Russian: Необходимо использовать 'they are' для множественного числа 'headphones'. 'It's like' — разговорная вставка, лучше опустить. 'Basic SH basic fits' неясно, заменить на 'basic outfits'.)
× Uh, I usually use my headphones when I'm going outside to, umm, maybe to the shop or the supermarket to buy something, uh, or just for a daily walk in the morning, uh, or free jogging, uh, usually.
✓ I usually use my headphones when I go out to the shop or supermarket to buy something, or for a daily morning walk or jogging.
Use simple present 'go out' for habitual actions instead of continuous 'I'm going outside to'. Remove filler words and avoid repeating 'usually'. Use parallel noun phrases 'morning walk or jogging'. (Explanation in Russian: Для привычных действий предпочтителен простой настоящий 'go out'. Уберите слова-паразиты и лишние повторения. Приведите однородные части в параллельную форму.)
× Definitely, I would not use headphones when I'm on a kind of a party or on someone's birthday because it's like how to say it keeps me distracted from the from the atmosphere of the.
✓ I definitely would not use headphones at a party or at someone's birthday because they distract me from the atmosphere.
Use preposition 'at' with 'party' and 'birthday' rather than 'on'. Remove filler 'kind of' and 'it's like how to say it'. Simplify 'keeps me distracted from the atmosphere' to 'distract me from the atmosphere'. (Explanation in Russian: С предлогами: правильно 'at a party/at someone's birthday', а не 'on'. Уберите разговорные вставки и упростите конструкцию 'keeps me distracted' до 'distract me'.)
× I guess I think it's kinda comfortable to wear. You can put them on when you're just walking to it helps me to relax.
✓ I think they're kind of comfortable to wear. You can put them on when you're walking; they help me relax.
Replace 'it's' with 'they're' because 'headphones' are plural. Fix run-on sentence: split into two clauses and use 'they help me relax' instead of 'it helps me to relax'. (Explanation in Russian: 'Headphones' — множественное, поэтому местоимение должно быть 'they're'. Исправьте слитное предложение на два и используйте 'they help me relax' вместо 'it helps me to relax'.)
× So I don't think that the headphones are uncomfortable. They are pretty comfortable. They are pretty.
✓ So I don't think the headphones are uncomfortable; they are very comfortable.
Combine repetitive short sentences for fluency and replace vague 'They are pretty' with 'very comfortable' or 'quite comfortable' for clarity. (Explanation in Russian: Избегайте повторений и объединяйте предложения для более естественного звучания. Замените двусмысленное 'They are pretty' на 'very comfortable' или 'quite comfortable'.)
