headphones. i'm self-conscious about my music unless i'm
blaring it in my car in rush hour traffic.

i feel the same way, but I just turn my speakers down,
headphones only when I'm on a journey somewhere.

it really depends on what your doing or listening to.. . if
your at a party headphones arent good enough you dig ? if
you want to listen to quiet ambient or music with alot of
subtle nuances then headphones are the way to go. ..

easy: good headphones AND monitors. Headphones provide the
best spacial fill and allow for more precise mixing.
Monitors allow you to hear from a different perspective
which, depending on how obsessive you are, can be pretty
close to headphones in terms of spacial fill and panning,
but also transfer the physical side of sound(ie, sound waves
as they resonate in your bones etc). Depends on the
equipment but it's all important.
:) that's from the perspective of composing/mixing etc,
since you didn't specify.

Headphones are good for lying in bed in the dark, and
portable devices obviously.
Speakers are good if you want to move about a space, dance
or something, and for sharing music .

I used to be all about speakers, since I am a naturally
noisy person, but there are some things (like draft 7.30)
that require at least one good listen through headphones.
cos you can't hear anything but the music, you notice so
much more.

FUCKING HEADPHONES AND SPEAKERS!!!

all the stereo tricks of the headphones with all the gut
bubbling bass of the speakers

i think i prefer speakers, but i like my music a little too
loud. and listening to loud idm, aka weird sounding noise
music, gets on most people's nerves. so i got used to real
quality headphones.

the music sounds more detailed with headphones, but you can
feel the bass throughout your body with speakers.

tough choice!

yeah, there are other tones that your body picks up when the
noise fills the room from speakers.
