What do you use for your Audio?

just cheapest bluetooth headphones with over ear fit i could find I think they're maxell

I've had my share of expensive and mid range headphones that really just sound about same as the cheapies and are much less durable due to some stupid design thing so I just use cheapies these days

its kinda hard to find over ear headphones that don't cost fortune too so i was just pleasantly surprised those exist still

ive no idea why anyone would ever want on ear headphones those are like torture device

and as for why bluetooth i am very much wire killer i will appreciate anything with less wires cause i know thats the part i break first with my wire killing hands

that or the headbands in some of the more design padding heavy headphones always just snap in half out of nowhere

as silly as it is that has made cheapies feel like very much more durable option since they literally can't afford to put anything unneeded on the headphones that could lead to their premature destruction

I use headset playing on Xbox. It really help to immerse into the game. All audio in the gameplay is very detailed and well tailored ?

When I got my very first gaming rig so many years ago now, my hubby included a really nice set of external speakers. I believe they too have a woofer. I do know I can control things from a box and the main speaker can also control the decibels. I had to play my game with simple headphones years ago after some tricksy field mice invaded our house and ate through the wires on my external speakers. Drat their fannies. Finally rid of them, my hubby repaired the wires.

What I discovered is I need to hear the ambience around me. I couldn't hear what was going on around me with the headphones on.

I use external speakers and a subwoofer to play. I use earbuds when I'm recording any videos and headphones when I'm editing them, if anyone is in the room with me. If not, I'll edit using the speakers too.

I use my Sony Surround system with a subwoofer, two mids and two high and some sort of sound bar thingy. I think its Sony Surround 7.0 but not positive. That may be the hubby's. Could be the Sony Surround 5.0 instead. Also, sound card is just a standard on-board on my Asus board. Not that any of that matters, as I usually play the game muted with music or video in the background. Whiney sim noises drive me nuts so I mute them. :P I know that's probably terrible, but crying and whining sims...even laughing sims, makes me a little nuts.

Depending on what is going on, my desktop is in the living room. If the TV is off, and no one is home except for me, I'll just use the speakers that are part of my computer. If the TV is on, I use my Xbox (Turtle Beach) headset, which works with my computer as well.

Unfortunately, my Audio on my PC has been silenced for over 4 years. Everything else works. I'm hoping to either get a new Audio chip installed or replace my CPU. Whatever is cheaper, I'll get as soon as I've saved up some $$.

I live in an apartment so it kind of depends on the time of day. After 7 or 8am I use the built in speakers on my computer. After 9pm I switch to headsets for everything. So if I'm watching tv while I'm simming the sound is off, if I'm not then I use the headset while I play. My headsets are all fairly cheap ones that are over the ear and have bluetooth. The best set also has noise cancelling, which comes in handy with the thin walls and lead footed upstairs neighbors.

Corsair headphones for gaming/discord. I don't really like them. HyperX Cloud II headphones are the best headphones I have ever owned. I still need to fix them if I can. :'(

Logitech z200 speakers for everything else. I don't care how old this model is. They are good quality for cheap.

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros.
