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.

Galaxy Buds Pro on my commute, Plantronics Voyager 8200 when I'm at my desk (or travelling on the plane).

For TV/games I've got a 5.1 sound system, but I will often just chill on my bed watching things from my laptop or playing on my Steam Deck with the built-in speakers.

Do you have an EQ preset you like for the Voyager? I feel like music sounds bad on my set.

Not really, but are you using your computer's Bluetooth or the provided dongle, and do you have any apps keeping your mic open? If you use standard Bluetooth on Windows it sometimes gets stuck in duplex mode (the mode for conversations rather than consuming content), and music sounds awful.

They're good enough for music, but they're more optimised for online meetings. You're not going to get a hi-fi experience from them.

Thanks for the response. I think that was the issue I was experiencing. Have you seen the new Voyager Surround 80?

Not yet, but it looks nice. After replacing the foam cups on my headset I think I still have a year or two left in these.

I'd be happy to evaluate them if Poly sent me a sample, though!
