It's hard for me to declare one over the other as a preference. Thinking about it, I think I mostly wear headphones so I don't bother anyone else who may not care to listen to music. When I'm home cleaning I love to blast music through my speakers to stay motivated.
 
We have some really nice stereo speakers that I have hooked up to my laptop so I prefer to listen to music that way. When I worked, I always had my ipod buds in my ears and got some ear infections because of the bacteria. I should have cleaned them more with rubbing alcohol but never thought about it.
 
Speakers mostly............ I listen to stuff in MONO if I can.... I listen to my cassettes and 8tracks in mono..... As well as when I watch movies.......

My records I cant do anything about.. If they are stereo thats how I listen.......

I jusr prefer MONO better...... Always have :)
 
When I am traveling, I like to use headphones; however, at my home, I use speakers. I can't use speakers when I am outdoors, and I don't have to use headphones when I am indoors.
 
That's where music take me to seven heaven. I enjoy using the headset to listen to my songs, the sound is solo to my hearing, which is very pleasing.
 
Speakers, my ears hurt after a while. But if it's like, at night, where I need to let out my emotions and just need some music to do it, I put on the headphones. But speakers are the way to go.
 
This is an excellent question. I would prefer to listen to my music through a speaker. However, if there are a lot of people around, as a courtesy to them, I will listen to music via a headset. Overall, I would much rather listen via a speaker though.
