your preference to listening
Do you prefer to listen to your music on your mp3/ipod, your computer, your car stereo or good old fashion Hi Fi unit complete with 100 watt plus mega speakers which shake the house. I prefer the mp3 with my trusty headphones, not the in-ear type as it gives me an ear ache, I seem to hear much more this way. Your thoughts.

RE: your preference to listening
The majority of the time I am listening to music on my home stereo. An average of 28 hours a week.
Music on car stereos - 5 hours per week
Music on the computer - 2 hours per week
Music on mp3 player while performing chores 2 hours per week

I prefer to place the recreation of the musical event where nature intended: in front of me at a reasonable distance, like in real life.

I prefer to listen to music at home through my stereo but most of my listening is done in the car via plugging my iPod into the car's cassette player - nifty.

RE: your preference to listening
In hours of listening order....
1)Home HiFi (also sonically most preferential)
2)In-ear mp3 (use it a lot, but there can be hazzards aside from close proximity "sound source-to-ear" induced tinnitus. I`m getting my ears syringed next week, because of temporary deafness in one ear...I jump out of the shower in the morning and stick an ipod earphone straight in for my walk to work. There`s water trapped in amongst the wax...and nursey is going to flush it out! Biggrin)
3)Itunes to quality headphone (while on computer...handy for youtube soundbites etc. too)
4)ipod dock (A good sonic option when trying to avoid blasting the neighbours with the hifi late at night...floor-standing hifi speakers with the volume on low is no good.
4)Car Stereo (don`t use the cd player much...due to the brevity of most of my journeys, I mainly listen to talk/sport-radio in the car).

Wish my car was old enough to have a cassette player.
I use one of those ipod converters that work off empty FM radio frequencies (plugged into the ciggie lighter). Trouble is finding unused frequencies. What seems an empty channel when you start your journey, often results in "bleeding" from some station later on...it`s acceptable though.

RE: your preference to listening
I absolutely loathe headphones. I have yet to find a pair that recreates sound properly for me. Usually too much treble, the most recent pair I bought almost seems too heavy on the bass.

So. CD's, in my stereo or computer. I avoid MP3s, usually just download to preview what I'm iffy about buying.

RE: your preference to listening
At home: I listen to my digital collection on a nice speaker system that came with my computer.
In the car: Dont have a car. but if i'm with my friends who do we listen to CDs or an MP3 player.
MP3 Player: I dont know what i'd do without my iPod. I have some nice sony headphones and i listen to music when i'm walking around town, on the bus, or at school sometimes.

RE: your preference to listening
I prefer my stereo at home as it's more comfortable but probably the bulk is on my IPod at work.

RE: your preference to listening
I usually like listening to music using headphones if I can help it, but sometimes speakers can do, if they're nice speakers. I'm not too picky overall, but I do like headphones

Snake, history will never know what she did. No one will ever learn the truth. Her story... her debriefing... will endure only in your heart. Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and her honor for her native land. She was a real hero. She was a true patriot. ~ EVA re: The Boss (MGS3)
