How do you enjoy listening to digital content? Speakers? Headphones? Earbuds? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

What I means is do you use your phone speakers, laptop speakers, some other type of speakers, headphones, or earbuds?

I used to use headphones to listen to the audio from my youtube videos but I recently just broke the headphones, so thats why I'm got curious and want to ask. Feels odd to listen on phone speakers after using headphone for a while.

Used to be earbuds, but I've become allergic to the rubber on the buds. So I can't use them as much anymore. I've switched to speakers for things I don't care about the audio quality, and those bulky headphones for stuff I do care about. I don't use speakers in public and I can hardly be bothered to carry those massive headphones when I go out though. Hate them. Earbuds sound so much better.

Have you tried these tips? https://www.complyfoam.com/

No, I didn't even know such a thing existed. Thanks for the suggestion, I might try them!

I don't know whether they will help with your issues, but for me they're much more comfortable and the better seal they provide means I get better sound quality.

It's a good starting point for me. I find them a bit pricey though, consideration they say they last about 3 months. Is that the case for you too or you use them for longer?

[–] TheHalc@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

They last way longer than that, although I should probably switch them out more often than I do.

Three pairs can easily last a couple of years if you don't have grubby ears.
