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.

Either DT990s or cheap Edifier “studio monitors” connected to my audio interface when at home, or M50XBT outside

awwsom,

I hate in ear headphones so I mostly use Over ear headphones and mostly wired if no travel is involved.

I love earbuds.

Edit: true wireless to be specific.

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.

The basic Bose AE headphones are still the most comfortable I've ever owned. They eventually fell apart and they were always a bit too quiet (needed an external amp ideally), but I was almost more comfortable with them on than with them off.

I’ve bought replacement ear pads two or three times now. The top is beginning to fall apart a bit but overall they are holding strong.

@001100010010 I live in bone conducting headphones most of the day, but when I'm at home, it's either my crappy TV speakers or dedicated over the ear headphones

Basically phone speakers at home, earbuds while away. As basic as you can get.

I have a pair of Phillips Fidelio X2HR for my PC where I listen to most things; an unexpected brand compared to the likes of Sony or Sennheiser. I'm considering an upgrade to a close-backed pair of headphones since I don't live alone and my PC space is nearby to the kitchen, so I would like to block sound out.

In the gym out back I use a Google Mini. Living where I am now I haven't needed earbuds for public transport so I don't have any. I will eventually buy a pair for when I go camping and want to watch something on my phone.

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.

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.

Nemo,

Speakers, ideally in surround.

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.

BackStabbath,

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

tryagain,

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