This was gonna be a Lounge thread but it's probably better here. I know I never rly posted here that much cos most of the discussion seems to be about games and I don't play them I'm afraid.

 

Which do you prefer / which do you use most often?

 

My #1 everyday choice usually is external speakers connected to my laptop. I'm quite picky with it tho and preferably they need to have a really good sound as well as bass. My current ones from Creative are excellent for that, although they are a bit bust now so I'm looking at options for the future. Recommendations appreciated haha.

 

I also love headphones but I wouldn't use them all the time. Finally, I also use earphones but those are strictly for walking down the street or public transport etc, as they are just handier to have in those situations. Although in the past I was known to always walk around outside with big headphones B-)

I use earphones for the gym but I have a lovely pair of headphones for general listening. Need to get them fixed though! :(

Excellent to see some technology topics in here.

 

My headphones are amazing, I use them for many things, and that's even though they technically only work in one ear - they're still useable even half-broken. I'm a little emotionally attached given they've come halfway round the world with me... twice... one of the few things I own that I can say that about. But they're just too comfortable, still give amazing sound quality for what does work, lets me give one of my ears a rest, and if need be I can switch to speakers for those times when stereo really matters. Which ends up mattering surprisingly little in my world of video game soundtracks, Twitch, youtube let's plays/podcasts, anime (when it's subbed, the audio going offscreen doesn't matter) and never being TOO picky about music quality.

 

Earphones would be far more convenient, I take the headphones travelling (don't really tend to listen to music on just casual walks anymore) because I don't have a pair of earphones but honestly I just find them itchy and prone to proper breakage far too easily. I don't really give a shit that I might look weird walking around with headphones, you're being the same level of closing yourself off either way.

And to think this was very nearly a Lounge thread :P It probably would've been moved in here anyway. Perhaps surprisingly, I like the odd technology chat.

 

And yeah, that's kinda inspiring whenever someone says they don't listen to music on walks anymore. I still tend to and I don't rly like that I do tbh, even tho I don't do it every time. Using my phone on the street is another bad habit! I've had at least a couple ~incidents~ as a result :mellow: put away ya phone m8
