The Observer Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 When you want to listen in private, what do you prefer using? Headphones Earbuds I'm not sure if there are any other options, so I restricted it to the two options above (as well as an 'Other' option). Also, feel free to talk about the specific brands you use. I personally use a pair of Sony earbuds I bought a while back at Best Buy. Work fine for the $20 I paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oathkeeper Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 While I prefer headphones (and voted for them) it is very rare for the two pairs that my house owns to be free for use, so I'll usually have to use those apple ones in the piture there.

Blutters Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Headphones for gaming,Earbuds for listening to music.WHERE DO I GO?? Ah well. I voted headphones because I probably game more often than I'm in a situation in which I need to keep my music to myself. Err, as far as "other" goes, I think a bluetooth headset would fit there, since they might wrap around your ear but still go in. Just a thought.

The Observer Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 By the way, headsets would qualify as headphones because it's pretty much the same thing except with a microphone attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I definitely prefer headphones to earbuds. Much more comfortable. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

champion Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ahhhh why would anyone listen to music through earbuds at home? I mean it makes sense if you're at school or outside or whatever, but if you're just listening to music around the house headphones usually give you way better sound quality.

RussetAlpha Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Funny, I only use earbuds. But I don't use those earbuds, I can't get them in my ears.. I don't like headphones either.. I use this kind (just an example, I have smaller ones). Btw, is it really true true that headphones are actually better? (As in quality, comfort, etc. I really like my earbuds) I got some from Christmas, and by all the posts everyone loves them.

But generally headphones will have better quality. Comfort is personal preference, whether you like on-ear or over-ear or don't like headphones on you at all. Tumblr. Follow me!

unkn0wnwarrior Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I use earbuds, though not for any real reason. I just never see headphones when I need something new. My current earbuds are a $15 pair that I paid $6 for... but one side fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheat Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Headphones I have a pair of Sennheiser's and Dre Beats I also have some Beats in ear headphones that I use while running and at school but the quality of them really doesn't compare. The Sennheisers have full base with a sub so the sound quality if incredible and even rivals my 7.1 system.

Pan_Nx Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Headphones. Though i don't actually own any as i have more practical uses for earbuds and not enough $ to spend on quality earbuds and headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ieyfura Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I usually go with earbuds as you get so much more sound out of them than you would an average pair of headphones. UNLESS of course, you had a really nice set of headphones that completely enveloped your ears and let all that sound treat your eardrums to eternal bliss. >:3 "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space.

Mirror Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Sony or Sens for Studio Headphones. Sounds so great. The only drawback is I have to take breaks with them because I've ruined my hearing already due to music. :P A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.
