Earphones or headphones for Otome CDs? 🎧

[Riz.]

Hi guys! When you listen to Otome CDs, do you prefer earphones or headphones?

I usually listen while falling asleep at night, so I tend to use earphones. But when I listen during the daytime, I use headphones instead.

What about you? Do you have a preference between earphones and headphones?

Also, if you have any earphones or headphones that you really recommend for listening to Otome CDs, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

I only have one pair of headphones at the moment, the Sony WH-1000XM6, so I basically use them for listening to everything. The sound quality is the best for me personally, and I've used several Sony headphones over the years, so I guess I've just become a Sony person at this point!

I even use my headphones when I'm listening to Otome CDs in bed. Honestly, though, they're NOT convenient for sleeping at all. My neck gets sore, my back gets sore, my head starts hurting... everything hurts. But I still keep using them because I really like the sound quality.

As for earphones, they just don't seem to stay in my ears very well. They always feel like they're about to fall out! Maybe I'm just wearing them wrong, though.

I know there are earphones specifically designed for ASMR listening, and I've been tempted to get a pair for a while. But somehow, I never actually end up buying them because all my money keeps disappearing on Situation Voice CDs instead.

So... maybe one day I'll finally buy some proper ASMR earphones. But knowing myself, I'll probably see another Situation Voice release and spend the money on that instead.

Earphones! That way, I can listen to the drama cd while lying down sideways lol. I'm not into headphones because my ears hate them and wearing them for too long hurts so much. Plus, I can hear the R18 scenes better with earphones lol

I'm currently using the Sony MDR-XB55AP Extra Bass and want to buy it again. However for some reason, official Sony Audio retailers in my country don't sell it anymore and I'm too afraid to buy it from a reseller.

Started out with headphones but because i loved lying on my side they would feel awkward. Also theyre such a drag taking them on and off and my hair gets stuck in it (ive lost many hair follicles thanks to that...). Im an earphone girlie for life now! They also help me with my immersion and ~imagining~ the scene better without uncomfortable, clunky headphones attached to my head, ifykyim

Earphones are better when you move around in bed, but I guess the quality is not as good as headphones.

If you sit then headphones would be better.

But for me, I mainly listen to it before bed so earphones all the way

Using headphones while lying in bed takes some serious dedication!

I've heard that Sony headphones have really good sound quality, so maybe I'll give them a try if I find a good pair.

And I TOTALLY understand what you mean about spending your money on voice works instead of audio equipment!! I actually bought a pair of earphones specifically designed for ASMR before, but I couldn't lie down comfortably while wearing them, so I ended up going back to using regular, standard earphones.

For me, I blast the otome game in the room where I share with my boyfriend. LoL I was flirting male lead in front him when he himself playing game too. Either way, I have switch it was great. I only put earbuds when he sleeping in the room and I could play quietly. The only problem is I want to play otome game that are a bit adults. I cannot blast the sounds. My ADHD give me a bit bothering from headphones sensative and my head is really small. My ear is also sensitive to vibrating or wavelengths from the sounds I don't like to wear it. Either way, my desktop is next to my boyfriend desktop so I kinda cannot play my favorite adult otome game. LoL
