× Yes, I often use headphones when I'm going out and when I'm when I'm at home.
✓ Yes, I often use headphones when I go out and when I'm at home.
Use simple present (I go out) for habitual actions instead of progressive continuous (I'm going out). The repeated 'when I'm' is redundant; remove duplication. Suggestion: use 'I go out' for routines and avoid repeating phrases.
× I use Airpods when I'm listening to music.
✓ I use AirPods when I listen to music.
Both forms can be correct, but for habitual action use simple present 'I listen' rather than present continuous 'I'm listening'. Also capitalize brand consistently as AirPods. Suggestion: use simple present for regular habits.
× When I'm going out and every night.
✓ When I go out and every night.
Fragment missing subject-verb structure in the original reply; replace present continuous with simple present for habitual action and include subject 'I' with verb 'go'. Suggestion: give a complete sentence: 'I wear them when I go out and every night.'
× In condition where I'm in school because I need to, I need to listen to my teacher and everything surrounds me.
✓ When I'm at school, I don't use headphones because I need to listen to my teacher and be aware of my surroundings.
Original has awkward phrase 'In condition where' and repetition 'I need to, I need to'. Use a subordinating conjunction 'When' and negative 'I don't use' to answer the question. 'Everything surrounds me' is unnatural; use 'be aware of my surroundings.' Suggestion: use clear conjunctions and avoid repetition.
× Of course it helps me a lot. It helps me reduce my stress and it helps me calm when I Yeah.
✓ Of course, they help me a lot. They help reduce my stress and help me calm down.
Subject 'it' is incorrect for plural 'headphones' — use 'they'. Repetition 'it helps' is redundant; combine clauses. 'Help me calm' requires particle 'down' to form the phrasal verb 'calm down'. Remove filler 'Yeah'. Suggestion: match pronoun number to noun and use correct phrasal verbs.
