Earphones or headphones for Otome CDs? 🎧

I use earphones for convenience. I don't have headphones but some of the comments are tempting me try headphones. I kinda want to try them for better sound quality.

Yeah, earphones are really convenient since they don't take up much space and are so easy to use. 😊

Compared to earphones, headphones can be pretty expensive, and there's such a huge range in both price and sound quality that choosing one might be a little overwhelming. 😂 I personally use wired Razer headphones. They're designed for gaming, so the sound quality is really good!

If you're interested, I definitely recommend giving headphones a try. I hope you find a pair that becomes your favorite! ♡
 
Headphones for immersion definitely! The sound cancelling on mine is immaculate✨

Having noise cancellation is really nice, isn't it? 😊
If you don't mind, could you tell me the model number of your headphones? I'd love to know which ones you're using! 🎧

I use the Sony WH-1000XM5, it's a bit on the pricey side tbh but I use it everyday when commuting to work and I haven't had any issues!! I'd suggest maybe looking into Bose headphones too I heard they're actually good/if not better than Sony at a lower price💖

I'm not very knowledgeable about headphones, so this is really helpful! Thank you for telling me about them. 😊

Reading everyone's comments here, I'm actually surprised by how highly Sony seems to be rated! I've never tried any Bose products before, so the next time I go to an electronics store, I'll definitely try out some of their demo models! 🎧

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable input! ♡

Yeah, if you're listening while lying down in bed, earphones are definitely the better choice! I use mine for the same reason too. 😊

Earphones are smaller and lighter than headphones, so they're much easier and more convenient to handle, especially when you're relaxing in bed.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🥰🎧

I'm listening with earphones.

Both earphones and headphones have their own advantages, so it's really hard to say which one is better. But from the comments here, it feels like there are quite a lot more people who prefer earphones. Earphones really are convenient, aren't they? 😊🎧

イヤホン/ヘッドホンどちらも特色があるのでなかなかどっちがいいとは決めきれないですが、イヤホン派の方が感触として多い感じです。イヤホン便利ですよね~😊🎧
 
Earphones. They're way more comfortable than headphones, especially when listening while lying down.

I totally know what you mean! I use mine the same way you do, too. 😊 The convenience of earphones really is hard to beat! 🎧
 
Those earphones are really convenient since they have the remote built in too! I used to love mine back in the day. ❤️
And wireless earbuds mysteriously disappearing by the time you wake up will probably remain an eternal problem, haha! 😂

I started wanting noise cancellation because the more crowded buses and trains get, the louder people seem to talk, so I find myself thinking, "I really need noise cancellation!" 😂💦

In-ear earbuds do have that distinctive fit, so I guess they're definitely one of those things that people either love or hate. There seem to be a few noise-cancelling models that use the more traditional earbud style rather than the in-ear type, so if you find one that feels comfortable for you, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! 😊

あのイヤホン、リモコンも付いてるから使い勝手いいですよね!私も昔に愛用してました❤
ワイヤレスが朝起きると行方不明になるのは永遠の課題ですねw

バスや電車が混雑するとそれに比例して人の声も大きくなるのでノイキャン機能が欲しい!って思っちゃったんですよ💦
カナル型は独特な付け心地なのでどうしても好き嫌いわかれちゃいますよね。数は少ないですがインナーイヤー型でノイズキャンセリング搭載のものもあるようなので、手に合うものがあればぜひ!
With an iPhone, when it's connected to wireless earbuds, the alarm doesn't play through the earbuds. It still goes off on the iPhone itself, but since my ears are covered, I end up not noticing it 🤔
With wired earphones, the alarm plays through the earphones properly, so I still prefer using wired ones when I'm sleeping. I just find them more convenient!

I didn't know there were noise-cancelling earbuds in the open-fit style too! That's really useful to know, thank you!😻

Wait, the alarm doesn't play through the earbuds when you're using wireless ones? I had no idea! 💦

Yeah, in that case, I can definitely see why wired earphones are more convenient. Oversleeping and being late for work or school would be a serious problem! 😂

And you're very welcome! I hope you find a pair of earphones that works well for you! ♡

always earphones! headphones give me a headache after using for a while

Headphones really aren't ideal for long listening sessions, I totally get it. Earphones are so small and easy to use, so they're really convenient.

I actually quite like how headphones make the sound feel more spacious, almost like it's spreading out around you. It's just a shame I can't wear them for very long! 😭
 
i prefer using headphones because earphones tend to fall out of my right ear specifically too much and after a while of wearing them my ears hurt. however at the moment ive been using earphones because my headphones broke a few months ago and i havent been able to replace them yet (so i shall be looking at what you are all using to see what i should get). after using them for all this time, i find using earphones ok but because of the issues i said, after a while it does just get annoying putting it back in my ear or them just hurting in general from such a long time TvT.

A lot of people in this thread seem to listen while lying in bed, so it looks like earphones are pretty popular here. I'm one of them too! 🫶

I didn't realize earphones could make your ears hurt too. It's a shame your headphones broke, but I hope you find a pair of headphones (or earphones) that's perfect for you! ♡
 
That makes sense! But earphones are so small and lightweight, so they're really convenient and work well no matter where you're using them. ❤️
Definitely! I think I would use earphones even if I had headphones. I mostly listen to CDs when I'm in bed so it would be more comfortable that way! Also I just think headphones might be a little distracting when I'm trying to be immersed... 😁

I like headphones too because of that spacious sound, but when you're listening while lying down, earphones really are the way to go. I can't even turn over in bed when I'm wearing headphones! 😂
