× Yeah, I use it.
✓ Yeah, I use them.
The noun 'headphones' is plural, so the pronoun must be plural ('them'). Replace 'it' with 'them' to match number and refer to the correct antecedent.
× My friend gifted me on my birthday.
✓ My friend gifted them to me for my birthday.
The verb 'gift' requires a direct object (what was gifted) and 'to me' for the recipient. Also 'headphones' are plural, so use 'them' and 'for my birthday' is the usual prepositional phrase.
× They are wireless headphones, so yeah, I use it very often.
✓ They are wireless headphones, so yeah, I use them very often.
Mixing plural subject 'They' with singular pronoun 'it' is incorrect. Use 'them' to refer back to 'headphones' which are plural.
× I use wireless headphones. It is from Apple company that was gifted by my friend and its color is Gray.
✓ I use wireless headphones. They are from Apple and were gifted to me by my friend, and their color is gray.
Use plural pronouns 'They' and 'their' to match 'headphones'. 'Apple company' is better phrased as 'Apple'. Use past tense 'were gifted' and 'gifted to me' for correct object placement. Lowercase 'gray' as a color.
× So it's my type of headphones that I use.
✓ So they're the type of headphones that I use.
Refer to plural 'headphones' with 'they're' and use definite article 'the' for a specific type. This ensures pronoun-number agreement.
× I use my headphones very often.
✓ I use my headphones very often.
Sentence is grammatically correct; it correctly uses the simple present to describe habitual action. No change needed.
× As an example, you can take when I whenever I am at the crowded place or when I'm whenever I'm doing jogging, working or exercising, I I, I use that headphones a lot.
✓ For example, when I am in a crowded place or when I'm jogging, working, or exercising, I use my headphones a lot.
Remove redundant words ('you can take', repeated 'whenever', repeated 'I'), correct preposition 'in a crowded place', use gerund 'jogging' without 'doing', and change 'that headphones' to 'my headphones' to match possessive and number.
× There are certain places or certain situation that I don't use my headphones.
✓ There are certain places or certain situations where I don't use my headphones.
Use plural 'situations' to match 'places', and 'where' is the appropriate relative word for locations/contexts. This improves agreement and clarity.
× As an example, you can take whenever I'm with my friends or families, I don't use my headphones.
✓ For example, when I'm with my friends or family, I don't use my headphones.
Use 'for example' and 'when' instead of 'you can take whenever'. 'Family' is usually uncountable in this context (not 'families'), and combine clauses with a comma for clarity.
× From my personal perspective, I think yeah, wearing headphones is comfortable and listenable as it is very durable and it does not let the outside noise do in a common or ears.
✓ From my perspective, wearing headphones is comfortable and pleasant to listen to because they are very durable and block outside noise from reaching the ears.
Use 'they' and plural agreement for 'headphones'. 'Listenable' is awkward; use 'pleasant to listen to'. 'Block outside noise from reaching the ears' is a clear expression. Remove redundant 'personal' after 'perspective' and fix sentence structure.
× And I think yeah, it's very comfortable to wear the headphones.
✓ And I think, yeah, they're very comfortable to wear.
Use 'they're' (they are) to agree with plural 'headphones' and place 'comfortable to wear' directly after the pronoun for natural phrasing.
