The times I have worn headphones the "music" selection included poker instructionals such as - "Final Table Play" by Daniel Negreanu.
Twice now I just happened to be at a section in the tutorial that totally reflected what was happening at the table and took it down.  I have also had the phones in the ear, at least it looked like it (nothing coming through), and pretended to not be paying attention to provoke opponents.
 
But online - I think my biggest leak is not paying attention.  Surfing, reading poker blogs, watching TV, reading books, posting here or there - even if it's all poker immersion the best I can do is ABC.  These "punks" Negreanu addresses pretty much 100% came from online and these habits are developed and practiced there.  Lately seems I do much better live because there are less distractions and I can focus on the table.
