Almost every Anime Fan online I see, they all wear headphones and many other people say they watch Anime with Headphones. I am thinking of joining the hype, but I don't know if it really is a big deal. I just watch anime on my desktop with some cheap $20 speakers from Logitech. Can you guys tell me how it feels like to watch anime with some good pair of on/over headphones. Like why exactly do almost all of you wear headphones?

It's not a hype, it's sound quality. Headphones are the most convenient way to get really good sound quality, which becomes more relevant if you're watching anime in HD.
Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you.

I watch anime with headphones because i don't really want others to hear what i'm watching.

Well, it's like an orgasm for your ears if you watch Diabolik Lovers with earphones.

No, I'm not even talking about the seiyuu. The OST is actually incredible.

I use shitty $15 bestbuy ear buds they sound alright though.

I think it may be better for immersion. But make sure you've got a decent pair of headphones. Like buds just don't cut it for me.
Surround sound is cool and how I do at the moment. And I wouldn't watch anime while I'm not home anyway because I don't fly anymore.

i've done it and can reccomend it, it will make you more immersed in the experience, and anime shows usually benefit from a surround sound actually

It's a WHOLE lot better. Surround sound. Also helps when watching anime about blood and they make...'weird' noises.

Eww..who watches videos with speakers? No one does that anymore (Unless you're watching on a big-ass TV on your living room). You really need to start watching anime with headphones/earphones because it gives you a better watching experience. Especially those sick-ass openings.

The sound quality w/headphones is amazing compared to speakers.
I still use speakers cause i don't like wires & i'm too cheap to buy wireless ones :/

It's a matter of preference.
Personally I enjoy using headphones as it provides an improved sound quality over earbuds.

That's pretty subjective, I don't think I can enjoy the quality with 2 lumps of metal hanging on my ears

I personally find headphones quite uncomfortable. Audio quality isn't too big a deal if you spend around $50 for decent speakers/headphones unless you're an audiophile. I personally care a lot more about video quality.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.
