Contrary to popular belief, walking around with an iPod, headphones, or other small electronic device does not increase your chances of getting struck by lightning. Unless the objects are more than 100 feet above the ground, they likely will not influence where lightning strikes. If you do get struck by lightning and are wearing headphones, it is possible that the headphones could act as a lightning protection system and move some of the lightning through the headphone chords and away from your heart. It may decrease the extent of the injuries, but the lightning would still do damage to your body.

Headphones or no headphones, you don’t want to get struck by lightning. Your home should be a place of shelter from a lightning storm. Lightning protection systems work by diverting lightning strikes safely around your home and into the ground, instead of through your home’s electrical systems. The best time to install a lightning protection system is during the building of your home.
