you really grow up when wearing headphones or earbuds suddenly becomes very uncomfortable and you realize that putting something in front of your ears was a bad idea all alonh
listening to music through speakers is the right way of listening to music, listening to them through headphones or earbuds is wrong.

so your cope for listening to slipknot at 50db right in your ears for most of your young life is that using headphones/earbuds was flat out wrong?
C'mon man.
homie stfu, headphones are shit and your opinion won't change this fact
What's with the sudden influx of nonsense word salad threads
It's been 2 years anon, keep up.
they are AI generated
That's just how low IQ people sound.
>listening to music through speakers is the right way of listening to music, listening to them through headphones or earbuds is wrong.
Care to substantiate this claim or are you seething that you spend $7000 on a hifi system that's 10% better than good headphones?
I'm broke, where the hell will i get the 7000$ sound system you are talkin about
why are you seething? What's the point
Not OP but good speakers that are calibrated for the room they are in sound 1000x better than any headphone, most music is mixed and mastered on speakers and that's the intended way of listening to music. The problem is that most people have neighbours and cannot use speakers at satisfying volumes; so here come headphones but they are still a diminished way of listening to music compared to good speakers
well I'm glad I've never heard anything remotely like that because I don't want to need more.
Feels "meh" to know more about audio than IQfy. I see more insightful comments on YouTube than this website.
Touch grass.
agree only kids and rentcucks use headphones
Well yeah, see picrel
Headphones are only good for binaural recordings
Being able to isolate each sound channel to each ear is clearly a benefit of headphones and not a detriment
Channel isolation might be good for analytical work, maybe positional sounds in videogames too.
But for music that was mixed to create a coherent continuous soundscape, no. There's a reason people have been pushing for openback headphones lately.
thats not how ears work
It's true, some spatial effects straight up disappear in headphones, the reproduction provided by headphones is artificial and reductive compared to the original mix on speakers
If this is really a problem for you, then you could just mix the channels a bit with some sort of pipewire plugin. But I don't see why you'd want to. If anything, having the channels separate gives you more accuracy.
Stereo speakers are only good for 1960s style hard panning. "Phantom center" is a myth. The comb filtering sounds worse than lack of crosstalk (which is fixable in software if you want it.)
headphones cause hearing damage, in-ears don't
the volume efficiency is the reason you go depth. headphones have much widerr frequencies than in-ears and higher highs will give you the rings, and more bass can remove hearing entirely.
but because the in ear is closer the sound is much more efficient so you don't have waves of super high freqnency like cans
>the buds that are pressed right up against your eardrums don't cause hearing damage
uhhhhh
you can hold those buds feet away and not hear anything whereas the cans will sound up the room
there your ears buddy not mine do what you want with them and your lack of common sense
the other issue is ambient sound, headphones just killout ambient noise with more noise whereas in-ears actually plug out ambient leaving the music to be heard
FRICK HEADPHONES
>what is noise isolation
>what are closed back headphones
You are all fricking moronic.
>talks about listening to music the right way
>posts shitty KRKs
Maybe, but I don't live alone in a rural house. I need some isolation, and closed back headphones provide that.
Listening at a safe volume and giving time for your ears to rest in between sessions is all that matters, no matter the medium. Speakers require an acoustically treated room and correct placement to get 100% of the sound you are paying for and to avoid reverberation, but I'm guessing you already have taken care of this in your setup.
>Hurr durr, my way is right way. Rest wrong.
>Speakers require an acoustically treated room and correct placement to get 100% of the sound you are paying for and to avoid reverberation
True but disingenuous, might as well say you need perfectly shaped ears for headphones and ear canals for IEMs for 100% of the sound.
Reverb is mostly fixed by not having an empty room and adding a rug, correct placement is mostly trivial, then add room correction EQ. Boom, you 95% of the way there, last few % is for recording studios or ensuring correct sound across multiple rows of seats.
>adding a rug
Will do frick all for the bass. Getting tight bass is very difficult and expensive on speakers.
music sounds different between speakers and headphones.
if you spend money on high end speakers you typically pay for a flat response, whatever that means (I think the pic OP posted might be one of those speakers that isn't flat).
While most headphones are not flat, they typically boost up the bass just a little bit (I personally don't think it makes much of a difference in the audio, in my opinion I like using VLC and enabling the 2 pass on the equalizer to make the audio extra deepfried, then I record the audio using audacity using the loopback input). And I think you can equalize your headphones to be flat or bass heavier using the software that comes with the headphones (if it's usb) or EqualizerAPO.
music is subjective, you probably have uncomfortable headphones / earbuds (or cheap headphones that don't handle bass or treble well), and very expensive speakers.
I use speakers and headphones together (I switch with windows+V or windows+G), speakers for regular youtube videos, headphones for music / film / games that make my GPU go loud / competitive fps / porn.
speakers are more comfy, yes
but you cant always be blasing your music kek
