× I often wear noise cancelling headphones because they block out background noise which makes me concentrate.
✓ I often wear noise-cancelling headphones because they block out background noise, which helps me concentrate.
The phrase 'makes me concentrate' is awkward; use 'helps me concentrate' for natural collocation. Also 'noise cancelling' should be hyphenated as a compound modifier 'noise-cancelling'. A comma is needed before 'which' because it introduces a non-restrictive clause.
× I usually wear them when I am on public transport or some busy places like restaurant when I want to make a call or listen to music.
✓ I usually wear them when I am on public transport or in busy places like restaurants when I want to make a call or listen to music.
Use preposition 'in' with 'places' and pluralize 'restaurant' to 'restaurants' when giving examples. 'Some busy places like restaurant' is ungrammatical; use 'busy places like restaurants'. Note: This correction follows singular/plural and preposition rules to match natural English.
× I use wireless earbuds which sitting my ears and coming right and left piece.
✓ I use wireless earbuds that sit in my ears and have a left and a right piece.
The clause 'which sitting my ears and coming right and left piece' is ungrammatical. Use relative pronoun 'that' and the verb 'sit' in present tense. 'Have a left and a right piece' or 'have left and right pieces' clearly describes the earbuds. This fixes sentence structure and verb form.
× They have excellent noise isolation so I can concentrate and enjoy the music or clear phone calls without distractions.
✓ They have excellent noise isolation, so I can concentrate and enjoy music or make clear phone calls without distractions.
Add a comma before 'so' joining independent clauses. Use 'enjoy music' without the article 'the' for general reference. Use 'make clear phone calls' rather than 'clear phone calls' to indicate the action.
× I usually wear headphones when I am commuting on public transport or when I am in some noisy places like busy restaurants or bus station, so I can concentrate and enjoy my music without distractions or make clear phone calls.
✓ I usually wear headphones when I am commuting on public transport or when I am in noisy places like busy restaurants or bus stations, so I can concentrate and enjoy my music without distractions or make clear phone calls.
Parallel structure requires plural 'bus stations' to match 'busy restaurants' as examples. Remove 'some' which is unnecessary. Commas are used correctly; this fixes number agreement for examples.
× When I am crossing the street, I don't wear headphones because the fast traffic can be extremely dangerous.
✓ When I am crossing the street, I don't wear headphones because fast traffic can be extremely dangerous.
'The fast traffic' is acceptable but 'fast traffic' as a general concept is more natural. This keeps present progressive 'am crossing' and present simple 'don't wear' consistent for habitual safety behaviour.
× I usually take them off so I can hear the approaching vehicles and stay safe.
✓ I usually take them off so I can hear approaching vehicles and stay safe.
Omit the definite article 'the' before 'approaching vehicles' for general reference. Present form 'hear' and 'stay' are appropriate; this makes the sentence more natural.
× Absolutely not. India headphones are especially uncomfortable because they directly press on ear canals, so I usually take them out every 30 to 40 minutes so my ears can rest.
✓ Absolutely not. In-ear headphones are especially uncomfortable because they directly press on the ear canals, so I usually take them out every 30 to 40 minutes so my ears can rest.
'India headphones' appears to be a misspelling of 'in-ear headphones'. Use the hyphenated term 'in-ear' and include the definite article 'the' before 'ear canals'. This fixes vocabulary and article usage.
