× Yes, I use it all the time, especially when I'm going to the gym.
✓ Yes, I use them all the time, especially when I'm going to the gym.
The pronoun 'it' refers to a singular noun, but 'headphones' is plural so use 'them'. Also keep verb tense and meaning unchanged.
× I like to listen to the music otherwise podcast to keep my time going faster.
✓ I like to listen to music or podcasts to make the time pass faster.
Use 'or' to link alternatives instead of 'otherwise'. 'The music' is unnecessarily specific; use 'music' generally. Use the idiom 'make the time pass faster' rather than 'keep my time going faster.'
× I have the Bluetooth one from Apple.
✓ I have the Bluetooth ones from Apple.
'One' is singular but 'headphones' is plural; use 'ones'. Alternatively say 'a Bluetooth headset' if singular. Match number with the noun being referenced.
× I got that one was last two years ago from my mom.
✓ I got those two years ago from my mom.
Unnecessary 'was' makes the sentence ungrammatical. Use simple past 'got' with time expression 'two years ago'. Also match plural 'those' if referring to headphones.
× She bought it to me from Singapore.
✓ She bought them for me in Singapore.
Use 'for me' to indicate the recipient and 'in Singapore' to indicate location. Also change 'it' to 'them' for plural 'headphones'.
× As I mentioned earlier, I normally use headphones at the gym, but other than that, I always use it when I'm cooking as well since I like to listen to podcasts, especially English podcasts so I can learn new vocabulary and new topic that I'm interested in.
✓ As I mentioned earlier, I normally use headphones at the gym, but other than that, I always use them when I'm cooking as well since I like to listen to podcasts, especially English podcasts, so I can learn new vocabulary and new topics that I'm interested in.
Replace 'it' with 'them' to agree with plural 'headphones'. Add a comma before 'so'. Use plural 'topics' to match 'new' and generalize. Maintain tense and meaning.
× At work for sure, as I'm working as a support worker and when I was with my client I need to pay all the attention with them, so I suppose not to use and I always remain doing that.
✓ At work, for sure. I work as a support worker, and when I am with my clients I need to pay full attention to them, so I don't use headphones and I always follow that rule.
Use consistent present tense: 'I work' and 'when I am'. Change 'was' to 'am'. Use 'clients' plural and 'pay full attention to them' (correct preposition). Replace awkward 'suppose not to use' with 'I don't use' and 'remain doing that' with 'follow that rule' for clarity.
× With the headphones that I have at the moment, I would say is really comfortable since it can stay, they can stay in my ears even when I'm doing cardio or running on the treadmill, I can still keep using them and listen to the music.
✓ The headphones I have at the moment are really comfortable because they stay in my ears even when I'm doing cardio or running on the treadmill; I can still use them and listen to music.
Subject-verb agreement: use 'headphones... are' not 'is'. Replace 'it can stay, they can stay' with 'they stay' to avoid redundancy. Use 'because' for reason and remove 'the' before 'music' for general use. Use a semicolon or split sentence to improve clarity.
