× Yes, I use headphones. I use it for my eyes listening, speaking test or in my free time to listening music.
✓ Yes, I use headphones. I use them for listening practice for the speaking and listening tests, and in my free time to listen to music.
The pronoun 'it' is singular but 'headphones' is plural, so use 'them' (pronoun agreement). 'Eyes listening' is incorrect phrase; use 'listening practice'. After 'to' use the base verb 'listen', not the gerund 'listening'. Also clarify 'speaking test or' to 'speaking and listening tests' for correct meaning and parallelism.
× I prefer to use wireless headphones because it is very comfortable and we didn't attach phone with cable.
✓ I prefer to use wireless headphones because they are very comfortable and we don't need to attach the phone with a cable.
Use 'they' to agree with plural 'headphones'. 'is' should be 'are' for plural. 'we didn't attach phone with cable' is incorrect tense and structure; use present tense 'don't need to attach the phone with a cable' to match general preference and correct article use ('a cable').
× So I would like to use wireless headphones.
✓ So I would like to use wireless headphones.
This sentence is grammatically correct; subject-verb agreement is fine. No change needed. Included to show checked item.
× I would use headphones for my speaking text listening test for IELTS and for listening music in my free times.
✓ I use headphones for the IELTS speaking and listening tests and for listening to music in my free time.
Use present simple 'I use' for habitual actions. 'speaking text listening test' is confused; correct to 'speaking and listening tests'. Use 'listening to music' (verb + to) not 'listening music'. 'free time' is uncountable, so use singular 'free time'.
× I'm not using headphones whenever I I am on the way and in traffic, driving, etcetera.
✓ I don't use headphones when I am on the way, in traffic, or driving.
Use negative simple present 'I don't use' for habitual action. Remove duplicate 'I'. 'whenever' can be replaced by 'when' for clarity. List items separated by commas and use 'or' before the last item. 'on the way' is fine but 'on the way' more idiomatic as 'on my way'. Consider 'when I'm on my way'.
× Yes, very hateful comfortable because it helps us in many different words like for IELTS listening practice, for listening music, relaxing by.
✓ Yes, very comfortable, because they help me in many different ways, such as for IELTS listening practice, listening to music, and relaxing.
'Hateful comfortable' is nonsensical; remove 'hateful'. 'it' should be 'they' to match plural 'headphones'. Use 'help me' instead of 'helps us' to match speaker perspective. 'many different words' should be 'many different ways'. Use parallel gerund phrases: 'listening to music' and 'relaxing'. End with complete phrase not 'relaxing by'.
