The bug template is currently working on/off but it helps if you are not prompted for the template while editing, please answer the questions anyways.

Noticed this as well. A sim's want of listening to X style of music is not satisfied by listening with the earbuds.
Neither are wants of dancing. Sims can dance to the music playing in the earbuds but want doesn't get fulfilled.

Tested with various types of music (Baroque, Americana, Strange tunes) and with listening by a) directly selecting Earbuds > "Listen to" and b) Earbuds > Turn On > "Listen to"

Have a sim with Earbuds in inventory and wait for them to manifest wants of "Listen to X Music" or "Dance to stereo music". Have the sim listen to the style of music or dance to music using the headphones.

Not sure, I think both of these wants were whims before.

The same thing happens on PS5. Earbuds don't fulfill any stereo wants.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a household with a sim that has a music preference and launch live mode. Have wants enabled. Purchase earbuds from Fitness Stuff pack and a Lin-Z smart speaker. When your sim gets the want to Listen to a music genre, try the listen interaction on both the Lin-Z speaker and the earbuds.
What happens when the bug occurs? When my sim listens to the music from Lin-Z or the earbuds, they never complete the whim.
What do you expect to see? When the sim listens to music the whim should be completed like when listening to any other stereo.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
