The 305s are pretty top notch regardless of their price. And I'm only home a few hours a day anyway, don't see the need to invest in a proper speaker system yet. Maybe when I get married.

Speakers, in an ideal world where I lived alone. But alas I live in close proximity to people who don't want to here my cringey anime music. So headphones.

>>52069660
speakers where it is acceptable for others to hear my shit, headphones otherwise

>>52069660
I prefer headphones but I don't use them for anything but music listening because of hearing loss. I play games and watch movies with speakers.
>>
Giant floor speakers > good headphones > normal speakers > shit headphones

>>52072693
Hearing loss from headphones isn't an issue, except for the fact that most people are fucking retarded and play shit too loudly.

Speakers if i lived in a house where i can blast all day long.

Speakers for sure. I only use headphones when talking to somebody, because I don't want to be that annoying echoy asshole or to blast my conversation across my entire home.

>>52072693
Why would headphones cause hearing loss as long as you're not a retard who can't control volume?

Speakers, mostly because subwoofer.
For more detail or quiet/private listening I just use headphones.

I use speakers because im a MAN not a child with gayming x headphones.

I use speakers because i live in my OWN HOUSE not in a room in MOMMYS HOUSE.

I use speakers because i have friends who visit and i can listen to music with them.

Both.

I have some Senn HD598's that sound fucking amazing, but I need to upgrade in the speaker department... I'm rocking some 80's era Realistic Minimus-7's that honestly sound pretty damn good for their age and size, but I could get better. I just don't know whether I want to drop a bunch of cash on some new bookshelf speakers or simply mod the Minimius-7s.

Easily speakers for me. Headphones sound lamer.

Speakers all day long, who would even use headphones when you have speakers (unless you're poor and live in an apartment)
>>
Headphones because I'm poor and live in an apartment

Also because I enjoy feeling the sound comes from inside my head

What why? Do you live in the third world with unreliable electricity or something?
>>
>>52075766
>implying they will be drawing 8 amps all the time
My amps are pulling like 2.2kw from a 15 amp breaker and it still doesn't trip, you can easily exceed the amperage rating of an outlet or breaker with no real risks, it usually won't last long anyways because that's how music works.

I'm too poor to be a speaker snob so I chose to be a headphone snob. No shame in my peasantry. If I were loaded I would be a speaker snob. I'd have a room made for my speakers.
>>
>>52077821
Headphones aren't peasantry. People ITT are fucking retarded if they say otherwise. You can get utterly phenomenal sound for a fraction of what you'd pay for high end speakers and receivers. That is, unless you're using some $5 gummy earbuds... then it's certainly pleb tier.

They let you hear a lot of detail, but you don't get the full sound experience.

>>52069660
Speakers are always better unless you need the privacy or portability of headphones.
>>
Headphones because I care about quality.
>>
Speakers because I know how good the music I listen to is. I want my room to sound exciting as fuck.
>>
What is this ''I use headphones because speakers are loud'' shit?
You can just like, listen to moderate levels or something. Just an idea.
