How do you enjoy listening to digital content? Speakers? Headphones? Earbuds?

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.

hoodlem,

I use AirPods

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.

zerbey,

Headphones.

i11,

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.

Stillhart,

Youtube videos have terrible audio. Any of the streaming audio services (even Youtube Music) will sound better.

As far as how I listen, I use wi-fi to speakers or wi-fi to streamer/dac/amp/headphones depending.

tryagain,

“Sports” Bluetooth buds so I can quickly take one or both out and not have to faff around with a case.

BackStabbath,

Bluetooth earbuds on my phone. And wired earphones if I’m on my laptop.

hitagi,

Headphones on my desktop and earphones on my phone.

I used to have speakers on my desktop but they broke and I never really used them much anyway.

PatFussy,

I like to play it on speakerphone at full blast in public spaces

Nemo,

Speakers, ideally in surround.

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.

mrecom,

Have you tried these tips? https://www.complyfoam.com/

No, I didn’t even know such a thing existed. Thanks for the suggestion, I might try them!

TheHalc,

I don’t know whether they will help with your issues, but for me they’re much more comfortable and the better seal they provide means I get better sound quality.

It’s a good starting point for me. I find them a bit pricey though, consideration they say they last about 3 months. Is that the case for you too or you use them for longer?

TheHalc,

They last way longer than that, although I should probably switch them out more often than I do.

Three pairs can easily last a couple of years if you don’t have grubby ears.

Laticauda,

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.

Cyder,

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.

richneptune,

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!

atlasraven31,

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

Too many headphones lol. Usually my Hifiman Sundara or Modhouse Argon Mk3. I got a Bluetooth amp (xduoo XD-05 plus) to drive them so I can at least stay semi-portable.
