Title: POLL: The office PC?
Post by: benn600 on November 07, 2007, 01:04:57 pm
How does everyone listen to music at work on their office PC?  (with MC)  Do you use headphones?

I had my own office for 6 months until the staff brilliantly moved us to a cubicle area so I no longer have walls and a door.  Now I need an alternative, which is obviously headphones, but curious what everyone else uses (poll).

I voted nice headphones (Senns) because that's what I use most of the time, but I also do have a nice set of studio monitors (no sub but they don't need one (http://www.mackie.com/products/hrmk2/index.html)).  I'll use those if others don't mind and for editing video with a client...

I have been lucky that throughout my long career I have always been able to listen to music during the day starting with radio and of course now with MC. I have a decent 3 piece system now in my office but we're eventually going to move to cubicles which means I need to switch to headphones or earbuds as I can't do without my music.

You don't have an option for
Rubbish Speakers (Sub woofer)

I work from home when I'm not on the road.
In our 'office' we've got a really rubbish 3d sound system
from Philips which didn't work correctly right from the moment we took it out
of the box.  Should have taken it back but never did.

Sound usually comes out of about 3 of the 6 speakers,
depending on how much you wiggle the wires, and bang
on the sub.  :)

Such consistent results aren't very helpful.  Everyone start voting large headphones so I can make my final decision.  I need to go buy a nice pair for at work.

I'm changing my vote to a ukelele and some bongos
