When you listen to music, which do you normally use? I tend to listen to about 65% of my music on headphones, mainly because mine are very good (hd-650's) and I feel I can get into the music more instead of it becoming background sound as I concentrate on other things. My speakers simply cannot compete :( |

speakers at home, headphones on the streets. |

Speakers. Headphones usually only for late at night when people are trying to sleep or if I'm mixing/mastering. |

I used to use Alesis MK2 for monitoring, but they're dead now so I dug out my logiteh z-540's instead. I've been in plenty of studios and big nightclubs with serious systems, but they never compare to my 650's for pure immersion in sound imo. This is for all music btw, not just ambient/downtempo stuff. |

In fact, all the remerge stuff was made using headphone monitors :D |

Speakers mainly. Headphones for classical music and sometimes for ambient/electro-acoustic stuff. |

Hmm.. Ok, I think I see why you prefer Senns to pc-speakers. |

Those little white earpiece things you get with old radios with a crinkly lead. |

most music i did with headphones sucked on a stereo, only few times its the other way round... wearing phones outside is enough for me, i take them off immedeatley entering my flat. exceptions made you know you listen to good stuff, when its hard to choose between a full stereo and phones, but usually i want to feel the bass and my monitor speakers are quite clear aswell |

Headphones regrettably , my tinnitus is at an all time high it just fucking rings and rings and rings. I'm going to slap my kid if I see them with a pair of headphones if I ever have kids. |

Get some soft white noise.. a fan or something. That keeps it out without damaging your ears (remember: soft white noise). |

80% of the time headphones as they give me full enjoyment when listening to music. |

having speakers at 1,5 metres exactly on both sides as i have em in my bedroom with the pc sounds nice too, easy sweet spot. im not a sound engineer but this setup works good for me and my smallish jbl´s. got the other jbl´s in the living room at a normal distance which fills the room nicely aswell good night |

i like mobility when i listen because i'm restless but i almost always use headphones when listening on drugs |
||||||||

i prefer those headphones that are like big ear muffs, but you have to buy like 4 pairs to compare them because what makes some sound like ass and some sound great is a mystery. |

you can get headphones that look like princess leias pom pom hair style now. our local hi-fi sales man said that they are very fashionable now. I might buy some.should keep me warm too during these so very bitterly cold nights. |

I no longer listen to music but instead have it pumped up my arxe. |
||||||||

Speakers when I have a party and headphones when I cannot disturb others around me. It's an easy choice. |

i hear ya buddy. i have very sensitive hearing and infinite ringing from years of headphone use and drumming. going to sleep at night is sometimes really difficult with the noise :( |
||||||||

When making music 90% headphones, 10% speakers (speakers only really used during mastering) When listening to music 10% headphones, 90% speakers. |

Leonid, have you tried listening to white noise when you go to sleep? I have heard that it is supposed to drown out the tinnitus. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Depends on how embarrassing the music I'm listening to is. |

Hi Ceri, do you mean background noise such as fridge buzz..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
speakers all the way. i like having the sound fill the room. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
speakers, i need the rumble |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Speakers unless I'm walking or don't want to disturb someone. Sound needs to bounce around and get some room to groove. |
||||||||
|

haha, same here! |

i am planing on getting new headphones tomorrow i am considering getting. Sennheiser HD-650(read that you might need an headphone amplifier though to get them to their full use which i wont buy) or Sony MDR-SA3000. anyone here have one of these two? or does anyone have recomendations of really good headphones to get for home use,and that dosent really need a headphone amplifier? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this one seems really nice but i think it would be overkill |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I ran the HD-650's unamped for ages and they sounded fine. But I now run them on my laptop's Echo Indigo IO which makes an incredible difference thanks to the built-in headphone amp. I'd never go back, it really does change everything. |

Radio tuned to static at low volume would be a cheap solution, you can get special sleep-inducing sound things that offer white noise (amongst others, but white noise is supposed to be best for tinnitus). I've heard of people using a fan for the fan noise, but I'd imagine that'd use a lot more power (plus you may not want a fan on) and the range of frequencies it'd make would be narrower. |

I heard some stupid extra super noise cancelling hundred or so dollar gizmo pros and they weren't better than an awesome 25$ pair I had. You have to test them with subtle music like little clicks and pops. Some headphones just blur all this stuff making it suck like me. |
