Headphones or Speakers?

Meh...

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

It really depends on where I am when I am listening. If I am in my truck then it's speakers. Lately while at home I have been using headphones. I find my concentration is alot better when I use headphones. Headphones get my vote.

The majority of the time, I prefer speakers. No matter what kind of headphone, my ears still get sore after a while.

I really enjoy both...well, for one thing...until recently my father dearest didn't allow us to use headphones, he didn't want us to retreat from the world and be in our own little happy place isolated...okay...whatever. :-k And I still haven't been able to buy me a pair, but I do like listening on other people's headphones...it gives one such the feeling that they're acutally there. I listened to an AIO ep on headphones once, it was a perfectly amazing expirience. :D As far as music goes, I like to listen on our surround sound stuff in our family room...and my family all likes the same kind of music (If it isn't KLOVE then we're listening to a soundtrack or something Broadway...) so I can just play anything I want! \:D/

Happiness!

I almost always use speakers. I do have headphones, but I only use them when it's noisy and it's something that I want/need to shut out. They bother my ears after a while, the same as Mandy mentioned.

As far as quality goes, good speakers are better than good headphones (not just my opinion but an industry opinion).

Of course if all you have is computer speakers... maybe some decent headphones would be your best option ;)

It all depends on what, when, and where. If I'm in a well designed room, I'll take speakers any day. I'm usually not, though, and the family doesn't exactly share my taste in music, so I'm usually using headphones. That, and I don't want to wake everyone up at 2:00am.

I agree, it depends on what I'm doing. But, I usually prefer speakers, so I voted for them.

I have my brain specially wired so that all sound will pass directly into my eardrums, thus rendering my headphones useless.
"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

I sometimes use headphones in bed or something, or when I'm working out, but I usually use speakers just because it's easier.

I use speakers because...

1. I prefer them, unless the T.V. is on really loud in the other room and
2. I don't have any headphones anymore. :(
