Poll: Headphones or Speakers?

[NuclearPenguin]

So im wondering
What do you guys prefer to use for gaming?
Speakers (Not surround sound!)
Or headphones?

Most of the time I prefer speakers just for the fact that I dont have to have something uncomfortable on my head, and because I have big ears which gives me extreme amounts of pain wearing most headsets.

Also, I like to watch reviews and such while playing games. So I just focus the sound of the review to the left speaker (And watch with my left screen) and the game to my right speaker (And right screen)

Most of the time I would prefer to use speakers, but I live with other people and don't want to bother them with constant gunfire and noise. When I'm alone I play with speakers on.

Headphones. I'm too polite, I feel terrible bothering people.

I have a pair of headphones with a built in Mic, all good. I would use speakers but at 3am its a bit antisocial, also headphones are better at LAN.

Never use headphones while lanning
Mainly because one of us gets the big ass overpowered mega speakers with enough bass to kill an extremely large murder (Crows ftw.) and that person just puts on some slipknot or whatever they feel like.

I would use headphones if I had a good set. Until then, it's speakers for me.

Yup, this.

I feel like people/family members who hear it are pissed at me.

Headphones.

Specifically some kickass Plantronics surround sound ones. Way back when (in 2008) I played CS:S competitively they made a huge difference. especially on maps like italy where you can hear players stomp around above or bellow you. Now it's more for convienience and to not have machine gun fire waking people up in the middle of the night...

Headset for gaming and speakers for music and films.

Speaking of which, I should get a new headset sometime...

I spent a lot of money on some excellent sets of high-quality headphones and my speakers are mediocre at best, so it's an easy choice for me.

Still, even if the quality were equal I'd still use headphones. It's my own personal cocoon of sound, which would take a LOT of volume to recreate with regular speakers.

 

[Aesir23]

Hmm, for a PC I use headphones. On the 360, my choice is clearly speakers.

 

[TK421]

Speakers, out of force of habit.

So I can block it out... I don't see the problem.

When I lan with two of my friends, one of them loves the same music as me and he has the speakers, but the other one has headphones on constantly and we CANT talk to him at all.

People like that, I can remember their avatars from a mile away, and yours.. With your big PROBATION stamp.

 

[Trivun]

Speakers if I'm alone. However, if people are around then I have one earphone in, with the other out so I can hear the game but still hear other people (so I don't just end up accidentally ignoring my friends if they start speaking to me).

It's pretty much constant now isn't it?

..Huh?

 

[Kriptonite]

I would prefer speakers but my headphones are amazing quality and just all-around awesome. So I use those, but I wouldn't mind some good speakers.

My speakers barely work and I have to shake one of them around to get it to work and my headset just dies occasionally... The cost of having a ferret that bites through cords >.<

..Huh?

Me being on probation.

Yep. But that was how I recognized you =P The big PROBATION and the guy with a joint/lollipop/cigarette/replica-of-Rakkana's-Genitals
