Headphones are an electrical item.

Usage

Sound reduction

Headphones can be plugged into a radio, ham radio, walkie talkie, or ValuTech PortaDisc, allowing the player to listen to the radio, or other players without producing any noise, therefore not attracting any zombies.

To do this, the radio info panel must be opened, then the headphones can be dragged into the "headphones slot" (Ham radios cannot use earbuds).

Dismantling

Headphones can be dismantled if the player has a screwdriver, which will result in one scrap electronics.
