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.
- 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.
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’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.
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.
- 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.
hehe, here come the audiophiles
Depends on what I’m doing and where I am.
Out of the house? AirPod Pros.
At home? My speaker setup (Focals, forgot what model).
At home but listening to music? My Stax electrostatic headphones. Nothing can beat them, at least nothing I’ll ever be able to afford.

Used to be earbuds, but I’ve become allergic to the rubber on the buds. So I can’t use them as much anymore. I’ve switched to speakers for things I don’t care about the audio quality, and those bulky headphones for stuff I do care about. I don’t use speakers in public and I can hardly be bothered to carry those massive headphones when I go out though. Hate them. Earbuds sound so much better.
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.
Galaxy buds at work. Bose QC35 at my home desk. And a Dewalt Bluetooth speaker while outside anywhere.
I’ve had the QC35 for more than 5 years now and I love them.
I love earbuds.
Edit: true wireless to be specific.
I mostly listen on headphones during my workday. I very much prefer to listen on speakers though.
