I definitely prefer to use headphones, the only time I use my speakers are when my roommate wants to use them. (And she just recently got a new pair of earphones, so she doesn't ask to use them anymore. ) You can hear the music way better in headphones, plus you can turn up the music as loud as you want! (Even though that's damaging to your ears. )
Definitely, totally headphones. Or earphones. Or headset. Anything that plugs your ear directly than speaker. After I discovered the beauty of being able to hear basses and low notes perfectly via earphones and headset, speakers lost their charm in my eyes. <3
I know it's not good for my ears, but the music is just too beautiful. <3
We are such opposites, lol. I enjoy it being so close and that I can hear everything clearly. Though some songs are meant to be heard via big, loud speakers to enjoy and dance. So yeah, there are exceptions.
