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

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.

A Bluetooth speaker for the car, earbuds around town and headphones for gaming. Prefer speakers for movies.

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!

  • 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

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.

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.

Either speakers or headphones. I hate earbuds.

Earphones, all of the headphones I’ve worn are too uncomfortable to me, and I like the portability. Speakers are nice, but I don’t like being a nuisance in people’s ears.

hehe, here come the audiophiles

  • 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.
