SpecOp9 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Just curious. I get alot more sound out of things I'm listening to with headphones, mostly with OFP Multiplayer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordy 0 Posted June 10, 2004 I did, until they broke (cat chew throught he cable) This is better way of experiencing OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted June 10, 2004 When I can, music on speakers. Otherwise, it's earphones. OFP and games where sound effects are critical are exclsuively on earphones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berghoff 11 Posted June 10, 2004 My headphones have better positioning of sound, you know if the sound is coming from behind, not have that with speakers. Somehow headphones have much "clearer" sound here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eisa01 0 Posted June 10, 2004 If noone is home, I use speakers. If someone is home, I use noise-cancelling headphones from Bose Hate to have the PC in the livingroom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sole 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Normally I use speakers, but at night or when gaming I use headphones. It just feels better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gollum1 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Headphones, always. I have AKG-K66 phones that I use for music and everything in general and a Hama headset that I use when playing MP and speaking on TS. Here's me wearing the AKG-K66 phones, very good value for just 50 euros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingN 251 Posted June 10, 2004 I use my headphones mostly when I listen to music. Sometimes I use them when I need the true 3D hearing ability in some fps games, because with them I can actually hear better from which direction the sound is coming from in the game, at least with my headphones. Otherwise I'm using my speakers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathanz 0 Posted June 10, 2004 I use speakers whenever the house is empty or doing nothing... I have a 5.1 surround system with a 15" bass speaker. It once was at full volume(but i didnt know) and i was playing firearms (mod for halflife) and fired a gun... my friend 2 doors ago phoned me asking what that gunshot sound was and that his father was going to call the police   So now i use headphones whenever im not alone in the house.

PSC 0 Posted June 10, 2004 I'm using speakers at the moment. I would like to use my headphones more often though. It sounds as if I'm closer to combat and I don't have to worry not to annoy other people. The problem is however that I receive a lot of static noise when I connect the headphones to the computer. I sometimes even receive radio broadcasts from around the world (Russian, Arabic, etc.) I guess the headphones ain't made for use on computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamme 0 Posted June 10, 2004 I'd use headphones if I had one. My speakers have a great sound quality, and I also have a subwoofer. (Which annoys my parents because they hear only the bass when my door is closed, not the rest of the music) Also the 4 speakers and 3D sound make it quite easy to determin the direction of the sound. Though I'm going to buy good headphones today. Good quality headphones beat the crap out of speakers, especially in games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted June 10, 2004 I think headphones have a better ¨effect¨ then speakers have. But if you got a 5.1 surround you might use that instead  For me I use headphones almost half the time and speakers when I lisen to music. (Why do I have to have speakers on when I hear music   ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozanzac 0 Posted June 10, 2004 When I'm alone and want to have fun, I'll use speakers and a sub-woofer, just for making the boom effects more effective. But when seriously gaming, I rely soley on my headphones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redface 1 Posted June 10, 2004 I take it the title pun was deliberate? Â I hear, so I use headphones from time to time I played the entire resistance campaign without any sound at all! it is much more difficult when you can't hear the shots immediately (this is also why I mysteriously died at a specific point in the MOHAA campaign: I couldn't hear the dog that was barking & biting at me ...)

Baron Hurlothrumbo IIX 0 Posted June 10, 2004 I have a 5.1 speaker system, so I use that. I have quite thick walls so I don't bother using headphones at night or anything - neighbours haven't complained yet. Although I think I make more noise when playing Soul Calibur with my flatmate.
