× Yes, I used headphones during my daily life, especially when I listening to the music.
✓ Yes, I use headphones in my daily life, especially when I listen to music.
Original uses 'used' (past) but context is habitual present; also 'listening' is incorrect after 'when' here — needs base form 'listen' for simple present. Suggest using simple present 'use' and 'listen' for habitual actions.
× I use the Apple Bluetooth headphone 'cause it's very portable to carry out to everyone you go.
✓ I use Apple Bluetooth headphones because they're very portable to carry wherever you go.
Original uses singular 'headphone' but refers to a pair, so plural 'headphones' is correct. 'Cause' is informal; use 'because'. 'Carry out to everyone you go' is ungrammatical — use 'carry wherever you go'. Also subject-verb agreement with plural 'they're' for headphones.
× I usually use them when I feel like the round was noisy.
✓ I usually use them when I feel the surroundings are noisy.
'the round was noisy' is incorrect phrasing. 'Surroundings' fits context; use present ('are') because it's a habitual situation. 'Feel like' plus clause is unnecessary; use 'feel' + clause or 'when the surroundings are noisy'.
× Basically during my commute time on the underground or on the way I went to work is I often use them when I do jogging at the evening during the weekend.
✓ I basically use them during my commute on the underground or when I go to work, and I often use them when I go jogging in the evenings at the weekend.
Original mixes past ('went') and present inappropriately and has awkward word order. Use simple present 'go' for habitual actions. 'do jogging' should be 'go jogging'. Use 'in the evenings' and 'at the weekend' for time expressions.
× It helps me to listen to some energetic music to help me do the exercises.
✓ They help me listen to energetic music that motivates me during exercise.
Mismatch between plural 'headphones' and singular 'it'; use plural 'they'. Avoid repetition ('helps...to help'). Use concise phrasing 'help me listen' and 'during exercise'.
× One, having lessons, meetings or very serious occasions, especially when you in front of a lot of people, you need to talk to them and show your respect to them.
✓ One example is lessons, meetings, or very serious occasions; especially when you are in front of a lot of people, you need to talk to them and show them respect.
Sentence missing 'is' after 'One' — a 'there be'/'copula' type issue. Also missing 'are' after 'you'. 'show your respect to them' is unnatural; use 'show them respect'.
× That's the occasion. I seldom use my headphones.
✓ Those are the occasions. I seldom use my headphones then.
'That's the occasion' is singular; better 'Those are the occasions' to match list. Adding 'then' clarifies timing. Tense is present habitual, so 'seldom use' is fine.
× It's depends, but As for me, for a long time Warren is quiet, very uncomfortable process.
✓ It depends, but for me, wearing them for a long time is quite uncomfortable.
'It's depends' incorrectly uses contraction with verb — should be 'It depends'. 'Warren' is mis-typed for 'wearing'. 'is quiet' should be 'is quite' (spelling) and 'very uncomfortable process' is wrong structure; use 'is quite uncomfortable'.
× But for some people I know, they think it very comfortable to wear them all day long.
✓ But some people I know find them very comfortable to wear all day long.
Original uses 'they think it very comfortable' which is awkward; use 'find them very comfortable'. Also maintain plural agreement 'them' for headphones.
× I will feel astonished for them.
✓ I am astonished by them.
'I will feel astonished for them' is unidiomatic and uses future unnecessarily. Use present 'I am astonished by them' to express current reaction; 'astonished by' is correct preposition.
