I have a pair of Focal Elegia connected to my Pc via a Sabaj a20d DAC. They sound great. Sometime in the future I wanna upgrade them to the Stellia.
Bluetooth earbuds on my phone. And wired earphones if I'm on my laptop.
Studio monitors + sub at desk, usually earbuds everywhere else. Over-ear for traveling / occasionally DJing. Small sub in car.
AuADHD with hearing loss ... only time I listen to music is cleaning house. Streaming TV is earbuds because I have it L O U D.
Bluetooth speakers for music in the kitchen, attached sound system for steaming TV, over-ear noise cancelling bluetooth headphones for desk work, over-ear bluetooth ear protection headphones for shop/yard work, earbuds for shopping/etc (fuck store muzak).
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.
I often swap between three:
- a convenient pair (wireless - Galaxy Buds Pro)
- a good sounding pair (IEM with a DAC - Moondrop Aria)
- a sleeping pair (small and cheap - Moondrop Quarks)
Youtube videos have terrible audio. Any of the streaming audio services (even Youtube Music) will sound better.
As far as how I listen, I use wi-fi to speakers or wi-fi to streamer/dac/amp/headphones depending.
