Please use this thread going forward: [FSP] Earbuds/Lin-Z doesn't fulfill stereo wants | EA Forums - 12212997
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"
