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
A Bluetooth speaker for the car, earbuds around town and headphones for gaming. Prefer speakers for movies.
Studio monitors (nothing too expensive, something I bought years ago), small USB-powered laptop speakers.
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 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 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’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.
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 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.
Headphones. I do have speakers but they’re mostly for my record player, although I have them hooked up to my pc as well. Earphones, not so much. Not comfortable for me.
I use AirPods
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.
