What I means is do you use your phone speakers, laptop speakers, some other type of speakers, headphones, or earbuds?
I used to use headphones to listen to the audio from my youtube videos but I recently just broke the headphones, so thats why I’m got curious and want to ask. Feels odd to listen on phone speakers after using headphone for a while.
Headphones.
I like to play it on speakerphone at full blast in public spaces
Dropped this? “/s”
I know what i said
Since I’m lucky enough to still have a phone with a headphone jack, I mostly listen with my KZ ZSN in ear monitors. Really good sound for the price.
Second this. I bought some after watching Dankpods rate them as a cheap way to get into IEMs. I liked them so much that I bought the Bluetooth dongle attachments (AZ15) which were more expensive than the monitors themselves(!) to turn them into wireless earbuds and they’re great. The IEMs themselves provide a lot of natural sound isolation and aren’t overly bassy so you can enjoy all of the music while being able to hear the lyrics/lighter instruments.
The only thing I don’t like is that they look fairly ridiculous to wear out and about. I have a conventional pair of Redmi Bud 3 for going places which are a lot more discreet, but don’t sound half as good!
Always over ear headphones I don’t get on with earbuds etc they hurt my ears and I think music is something that shouldn’t be imposed on others so headphones it is
Studio monitors (nothing too expensive, something I bought years ago), small USB-powered laptop speakers.
- Jabra Elite earbuds for normal day to day
- SkullCandy Crusher Evo if I’m at the gym because the bass is rediculous and gets me hype
- Audeze Penrose if I’m gaming - best sound for the price imo
I’ve got a pair of nice old Japanese wooden bookshelfs hooked up to a NAD amp that plays both my records and my TV/PS. That does the heavy lifting, for my office I have some good but generic over ears that get the job done. And then I have a pair of planar earbuds ‘LetShoer S12’:which are awesome bit I don’t use often because they’re quite sharp for long sessions but sound fantastic.
Bluetooth earbuds has been a bliss in home or when I’m out. You can leave your phone in one room and continue doing chores in another. When out, it’s no-brainer to use earbuds or headphones especially in public places. You don’t want to be the guy blasting music through speakers in public.
Jabra Elite 85t wireless earbuds when I’m out and about, noise cancelling Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones when I’m in the office/library/when my partner is WFH taking meetings, wired AKG K52 studio monitor headphones if I don’t want to disturb my partner when listening to vinyl or other high fidelity music- otherwise it goes through my Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers. If I’m watching youtube or a film in bed on my laptop I’ll just use the laptop’s speakers
I always listen to music on my Sony wh1000xm4 headphones. Added a bit of an eq tweak to them so they’re less “boring”. Imo they’re fantastic, though I haven’t tried anything non Bluetooth in the higher end spectrum of headphones.
I like headphones but if the music isn’t taking advantage of the left/right channels, it doesn’t matter if I listen on my big ass stereo. My only issue with headphones is after a while, my ears start to ache (the outside part I mean) and/or get uncomfortably hot. Even with my large monitors that go completely around and don’t actually touch my ears, I start to feel like they’re being squeezed.
A Bluetooth speaker for the car, earbuds around town and headphones for gaming. Prefer speakers for movies.
- Earbuds (Galaxy Buds, specifically) when I’m out and about.
- At home, I have a pair of wireless headphones (Bose) that lives next to my desktop rig.
- I also have some remarkably good Amazon Basics speakers (from 2014! The only thing that survives from my first machine!) that I use every now and then.
On my phone I like headphones for music, but I prefer the speakers for stuff like videos. I don’t like my head/ears being constricted all the time, but sometimes when I want the best audio experience I’m okay with it. On good speakers like in my car or my soundbar I occasionally enjoy listening to music without headphones though. Though sometimes I like using headphones for videos too if I’m like cleaning and don’t wanna carry my phone around the house while listening to a video. Or if there’s a more nuanced audio factor that I wanna be able to hear better.
I need over ear headphones. Can’t stand earbuds and on ear headphones hurt my ears and make me feel like I can’t hear as well.
I’m kind of specific.
Unless I purposefully want to hear sound, my devices are muted 100% of the time. If I am listening to something, I wear earbuds with over-ear hooks, so that one of them can sit partially out of my ear, so that my hearing is not completely isolated from the world.
Though…autistic.
That’s why I love my Sony Linkbuds. They are physically open, so I hear my surroundings just fine while listening to music/watching a video.
