There are different ways that we can enjoy the music that we listen to every day. Some prefers playing songs without headphone or earplugs while others enjoy when the music is blasting through the speakers of their home theatres or mobile devices.

So, when it comes to playing songs, what way do you like to do it?

Whenever I'm in a public place, I always prefer making use of headset to listen to music because I don't want to disturb anybody with whatever I'm playing. This is because it might not be what they're interested in listening to.

This is a good act because you may not know how focused others are on what they are doing at that moment and playing songs without headphone would distract them from doing what they wish to do at that particular moment.

There are some people who are very lousy especially when they are in a public space. I will never put anyone in a position where they are forced to suffer the music I'm playing when they didn't ask for it.

Depends on where I am, to be honest. If I’m at home, I like playing it loud from my speaker just to feel that bass shake a little. But when I’m outside, especially in public transport, I can’t try that. I’d use the headphones all the way.

I play music with headphones and without it too. Some songs are better listened to using a headset because that's the only way it can be truly enjoy which is without any form of noise interference.

You are even going to struggle to hear the music you are playing very well in a public transport or even any public place there is too much noise and distractions.

This is why having your headset or airpods with you listening to music when you are outside.

Playing without using the headphones sometimes makes you feel free, like when I’m cleaning or cooking. But I don't want my neighbors complaining about noise. So I just use my earphones, so I won't disturb anyone.

If you play loud music when at home, does it mean your neighbours don't get to complain about doing such at home?

I listen to music without headphones most of the time as I am often in my studio where I can listen in peace. But I do enjoy music on headphones from time to time when I want a more immersive experience

People behave like they are mad in my country because the law is just uselêss. It's only apartment where the house owners lives amongst them that the tenants won't try playing music too loud in my country or a highly coordinated and managed estate.
