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

Headphones.

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.

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.

• 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

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.

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 use AirPods

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

• 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.

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.

hehe, here come the audiophiles

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.

Either speakers or headphones. I hate earbuds.

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.

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.

headphones all the time

I don't want everyone in the room to know what I'm listening to. But if I need to sing because THIS SONG HITS then I get it off the headphones and to speakers or just my phone audio output.

I have a pair of Focal Elegia connected to my Pc via a Sabaj a20d DAC. They sound great. Sometime in the future I wanna upgrade them to the Stellia.

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.

I have a decent pair of Sennheiser over heat headphones. Nothing too fancy. Just some decent headphones. Totally good enough for me.

I don't like earbuds. I guess I have weirdly shaped ears? Because they just call right out.

I love earbuds.

Edit: true wireless to be specific.

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

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.

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

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.

Laptop speakers and headphones

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.

Sennheisers at the desk. Bone conducting headsets when mobile. The car gets really abused especially if I'm driving somewhere alone.

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.

All of it.

@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.

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.

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

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

Galaxy Buds Pro on my commute, Plantronics Voyager 8200 when I'm at my desk (or travelling on the plane).

For TV/games I've got a 5.1 sound system, but I will often just chill on my bed watching things from my laptop or playing on my Steam Deck with the built-in speakers.
