which one do you prefer? hear it out loud or on your own (earphone)...

That depends on the sound quality of the music sources, but if best quality is considered, I would like to hear my music loud as possible, but considering the health of my eardrums. But currently, I use loud headphones, and it's serving me quite nicely.

i prefer using earphone almost all the time. i use to live alone before when i was still in college and i do have this component. whenever i clean my place, i use to turn it on out loud..

depends on where i am. but i like to not have anything stuck in my ear. it does get a little painful when the earplug is in my ear for too long. i have no idea why. so i prefer to just let the speakers play my music.

Yeah,I Like music and I like it to listen loud not just for myself in the ear phone.

When I want to be alone, I listen to my favorite songs via the earphone of my PSP and open up my own world. I have this attitude of imagining that I'm the one singing and having a concert or in a music video. Silly, really! But that's how I am since I was a child. But when I'm in a really good and jolly mood, I prefer listening via components or loud speakers and listen to the songs with my family. It really boosts my energy.

I like it out loud. That's mostly because I don't sit still or anything like that. I like to turn it up when I'm baking, or cleaning, or exercising. Me and my kids will dance around the house with it on. We can't really do that if I'm listened through an earpiece.
