    Headphones because I use hearing aids and thus I can’t use earbuds at the same time. Speakers if there is no one around and/or I’m just tired of headphones.

    Hopefully some day the Steam Deck will include Bluetooth LE audio and LC3 codec and then I will be able to stream directly into my hearing aids :)

    Depends entirely on what environment I’m in and to some degree even my mood. Sometimes you just want to slap some headphones on and erase the rest of the world. Sometimes you just want a more full rich experience where it feels the room you can move around freely. Sometimes it doesn’t matter at all

    I use IEMs through a dongle dac because I have an OLED that has interference on the audio board and I’ve been too lazy to open it up to isolate it and I don’t want to wait to send it into Valve for repair.

    I usually just use the deck speakers, but I’m usually playing at home and want to be able to hear what else is happening in the house. If I really need to hear the audio or if I’m using voice chat I usually just use my bluetooth ear buds.

    honestly I prefer games have really good hearing accessibility options and UI so I can mute the game and play while I listen to an audiobook with my partner… and then my shure aonic 50 bt/wired headphones, third favorite being sony xm3/xm4 (and newer versions) bt/wired headphones.
