Just wondering what most people prefer when watching anime.
I've always been a headphone guy. I have a pair of Sony over-ear headphones from Walmart. Cost like $40 and was probably the best purchase I ever made.
Plus I use a laptop so the speakers are shit...

Headphones. I don't want everyone to hear what I'm watching. Plus it's more immersive with headhones.

Depends, my desktop is connected to a surround sound system so if I'm on the desktop then I'd watch on that. If I'm on the laptop however then I'd be using headphones, not only because headphones generally have higher quality sound than speakers but because it helps out when others are in the room.

Speakers. Unless it's porn or when it's really late at night. I don't like watching stuff at a very low volume and I think its quite rude to keep my neighbors awake because I want to watch some anime, so headphones after 12 (student dorm, nobody sleeps before 12)

I like using my speaker when watching anime. Sometimes I'll wear headphones so I can hear background noises more clearly.

If I'm listening to music though, I always use headphones.

Speakers.

TV speakers for Anime I own on official DVDs.

For unlicensed Anime, my computer's sound card runs right into a stereo amplifier, and plays through the two speakers that's hooked up to it.

I'm so used to headphones that I don't think it would feel right to use speakers, even if I had some good external speakers for my laptop.
And not that I care if people hear what I'm listening too, I'm sure they would rather not hear it. Lol

No one would want their family to listen to the high pitched vocalisations of two moe creatures arguing on how tea should be taken, or to the hypocritical lamentations of half naked females about the perverted teasing of their annoying childhood friends. So most use HP.

At least 5.1 surround sound speakers for GTFO.

Unless it's late and other people are sleeping, then a really nice high quality set of headphones.

Mute, ain't nobody wanna hear that ching chang chong.

It's between my laptop's so-so speakers and my turtle beach set that I used to use for the Xbox 360. The gap is just too real to ever go back to earplugs or speakers, it's like my own personal orchestra and it never bothers the people I live with. Complete silence from my room at 3 a.m. only to find out I'm blasting idol anime in my headset.

That's how I feel. Before I started watching anime all the time, I had these headphones for my music, so I could never go to speakers, defiantly not earbuds.

Headphones give better immersion and can be used without worrying about disturbing others.

I have a pair a Razor headphones on my computer. Don't want to disturb anyone else with my gaming/anime.

When I want to watch anything with the family, I just stream to the TV, which is surround sound.
