My birthday is coming up, so i got these headphones (they're amazing). It got me thinking about the way i consume music as someone who enjoys and also creates it. For me, headphones have always been my preferred means of listening to an album. There's nothing better than putting on a nice pair and getting completely lost in music you love.
So, I have all of my music on my computer in mp3 or FLAC, my computer is connected to my dad's old Kenwood amplifier, and my headphones are plugged into that. I have an iPod Classic and a couple more portable pairs of headphones for when i'm not home.
I couldn't imagine listening to anything else, but i know a lot of people don't do it this way. Lots of people on Hubski are into vinyl. I'm sure some of you have a great stereo setup (i don't even have speakers) with records or CDs or cassettes or whatever.
I'd like to know how you listen to music. When you put on your favorite album, what's the best way to do so and why?
