For me it's not. I would prefer watching or listening something while I drive a car so it would be more comfortable for me rather than using headphones because.

× A year ago I used to use earpieces.
✓ A year ago I used earpieces.
The phrase 'used to' indicates a past habitual action and is correct, but when specifying a simple past time marker 'A year ago' it is more natural to use the simple past 'used' or 'used to' without duplicating the sense. Use either 'A year ago I used earpieces' or 'I used to use earpieces.' Avoid combining both forms to prevent redundancy.
× However, after buying my private car I stopped to use them because usually I tended to wear headphones when I go to for, for example when I go for a walk.
✓ However, after buying my private car I stopped using them because I usually tended to wear headphones when I went for a walk.
After 'stop' the gerund (verb + -ing) is required for cessation of an activity: 'stop using'. Also the time sequence requires past tense consistency: 'tended' and 'went' should both be past. Remove the extra phrase 'go to for' which is incorrect. Improve fluency by simplifying to 'when I went for a walk.'
× However, now I listen to music while I'm driving.
✓ However, now I listen to music while I drive.
When describing habitual actions during driving, the simple present 'I drive' is more natural than the present continuous 'I'm driving' in this context. Use consistent tense for habitual statements: 'I listen to music while I drive.'
× I prefer using wireless headphones because they are really comfortable when you go for a walk or running, jogging, so on and so forth.
✓ I prefer using wireless headphones because they are really comfortable when you go for a walk, run, or jog.
Maintain parallelism with list items by using the same verb form: 'go for a walk, run, or jog' uses consistent forms. Avoid mixing 'go for a walk' with gerunds 'running, jogging' without conjunction. Also replace 'so on and so forth' with a concise list or 'and so on.'
× In general it is very suitable in terms of doing sport.
✓ In general they are very suitable for doing sports.
Match subject and pronoun: 'headphones' is plural so use 'they are.' Use the preposition 'for' with 'suitable' and plural 'sports' is more idiomatic. Also avoid the vague phrase 'in terms of.'
× That's why also they cost cheapest chips.
✓ That's also why they are the cheapest.
Original is ungrammatical: use 'they are the cheapest' to express lowest price. 'Cost cheapest chips' is incorrect word order and vocabulary ('chips' irrelevant). Place 'also' before or after 'that's' for clarity: 'That's also why they are the cheapest.'
× I would use earphones when there is much noise around around me.
✓ I would use earphones when there is a lot of noise around me.
Use 'a lot of' or 'much' with uncountable nouns; 'a lot of' is more natural in speech. Remove duplicated 'around.' Keep 'around me' as the correct placement.
× For example, when I study and should concentrate on my preparation, then I use headphones in order to in order not to be disturbed by someone.
✓ For example, when I study and need to concentrate on my preparation, I use headphones so I am not disturbed by anyone.
Avoid repetition 'in order to in order.' Use 'need to' rather than 'should' for intention. 'So I am not disturbed by anyone' is clearer and uses correct pronoun 'anyone' instead of 'someone' in negative contexts.
× It may sound obvious, but I would I wouldn't use headphones when I stay alone at home when there is nobody who can disturb my concentration.
✓ It may sound obvious, but I wouldn't use headphones when I am alone at home and there is nobody who can disturb my concentration.
Remove duplicated 'I would I' and use 'I wouldn't' only. Use 'am' for state 'I am alone.' Combine clauses smoothly: 'when I am alone at home and there is nobody who can disturb my concentration.'
× In such situations and conditions I can't. No, I wouldn't use headphones as it's comfortable.
✓ In such situations I don't need them. No, I wouldn't use headphones because it's comfortable without them.
Original 'I can't' is unclear; likely intended meaning is 'I don't need them.' Also clarify the reason: 'because it's comfortable without them.' Use logical connectors and avoid short unclear responses.
× For me it's not. I would prefer watching or listening something while I drive a car so it would be more comfortable for me rather than using headphones because.
✓ For me it's not comfortable. I would prefer to watch or listen to something while I drive because that would be more comfortable for me than using headphones.
Complete sentences are required: 'For me it's not comfortable.' Use the infinitive 'prefer to watch/listen to' and include object marker 'to' after 'listen.' Avoid trailing 'because' without a clause. Compare choices with 'more comfortable... than.'
