× Sometimes I do use it to answer call whenever I'm in a noisy place.
✓ Sometimes I do use them to answer calls whenever I'm in a noisy place.
The noun 'headphones' is plural, so pronoun should be 'them' (third person plural). 'Call' should be plural 'calls' because it refers to answering phone calls in general. Use plural agreement: 'use them to answer calls.'
× I use overhead headphone, the one that is that has Bluetooth and well charged.
✓ I use over-ear headphones, the ones that have Bluetooth and are well charged.
'Headphone' should be plural 'headphones' or 'an over-ear headphone'. 'Overhead' is incorrect; 'over-ear' is standard. 'The one that is that has' is redundant; use 'the ones that have'. Ensure subject-verb agreement: plural 'ones' with 'have' and 'are well charged.'
× You can that is for example you can charge it for about two hours, then you can use it because it retains power.
✓ For example, you can charge them for about two hours, and then use them because they retain power.
Sentence is wordy and repetitive. Replace 'it' with 'them' to match plural 'headphones.' Remove redundant phrases ('that is', duplicate 'you can'). Use parallel structure and conjunctions for clarity.
× I like using headphones when I'm traveling, especially when I'm traveling in a long distance journey, like 4 to 6 hours.
✓ I like using headphones when I travel, especially on long-distance journeys of about 4 to 6 hours.
Avoid repeating 'I'm traveling'; use simple present 'I travel' for habitual action. 'Long distance journey' should be 'long-distance journey' or plural 'journeys.' Use 'on' with 'journeys' and 'about' before duration.
× I use it to keep myself busy and to whine away my time.
✓ I use them to keep myself busy and to while away my time.
'Whine' is incorrect; correct verb is 'while' (while away = pass time). Also change 'it' to 'them' for plural headphones.
× Sometimes I do use it to answer calls and to play audio mix.
✓ Sometimes I do use them to answer calls and to play audio mixes.
Replace 'it' with plural 'them.' 'Audio mix' should be plural or better 'audio mixes' or 'audio files' depending on meaning. Ensure noun forms match context.
× I don't use headphone when I'm having dizziness and headache because it makes the hair so intense and it's equally increase the pressure in the head.
✓ I don't use headphones when I have dizziness and a headache because they make the pain very intense and also increase the pressure in my head.
Use plural 'headphones.' Prefer simple present 'I have' for states. 'Dizziness and headache' needs article 'a headache.' 'It makes the hair so intense' is incorrect — likely 'they make the pain very intense.' 'It's equally increase' should be 'also increase.' Use plural pronoun 'they' to refer to headphones and 'my head' for clarity.
× Yes, wearing headphones make one to feel comfortable especially when you are doing work.
✓ Yes, wearing headphones makes one feel comfortable, especially when you are working.
'Wearing headphones' is a singular gerund phrase and takes singular verb 'makes.' Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'feel.' Use 'working' (present participle) instead of 'doing work' for natural phrasing.
× For example, when you are doing exercise, you can use headphones to listen to music or listen to to receive.
✓ For example, when you are exercising, you can use headphones to listen to music or to receive calls.
Use 'exercising' rather than 'doing exercise.' Remove duplicated 'to.' 'Listen to receive' is ungrammatical; clarify intention: 'to receive calls' or 'to take calls.' Ensure infinitive forms are correct.
