Do you use headphones, speakers or ESP?

[Lee Downham]

Another quick silly poll for the forum ...
What audio equipment do you (mainly) use when you are driving?

(kick ass sennheiser headphones is my weapon of choice ... have a decent 5.1 creative setup, but apart from kids usually being in bed in next room when I drive, find the headphones give me every last ounce of detail without driving the neighbours mad )

[Yves Larose]

headphone for me too and as for you Lee its the best thing to not drive eveybody crazy in the house and it help me get more focus since i don't hear anything else then the game

[Attila Domján]

Headphones strictly, helps to keep the concentration very much for me. Sennheiser PC 165 the type, would never change it for anything else.

Have a 7.1 speaker system, but still did not use it too much, apart from some parties to supply the music background....

[Marc Good]

Got some Sennheiser headphones as well and am mainly using them. Have a 5.1 system (very old one) which I love to drive with - mainly because of the subwoofer =) - but I have to turn it up quite a bit to give a good amount of immersion and I still live at my parents home.. so when I'm at home alone I take the 5.1 system.. feels more real to me.

I use my Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Headphones mostly, if I don't want something on my head then I'll use speakers.

[Jarkko Rantajoki]

X-fi extremegamer + Fatal1ty headset.. simply.. stunning.

[Sam J Simpson]

X-Fi Fatality Pro Gamer and Creative 7900 7.1s, the neighbours just LOOOOOVE me

[Bram Hengeveld]

I use my Sennheiser

[Dietmar Auferkorte]

What's an ESP?

But headphones (some simple Sennheiser, if I remember correctly) for me, I want me neighbours living beneath me still speaking to me

[Jacco Cornelissen]

Headphones (Sennheiser)

Hi,

I currently use speakers, but am thinking about using a headset.

ESP is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-sensory_perception

[Attila Domján]

wow, interesting to see how big percentage of the headphone users prefer Sennheiser. Damn it is a very nice quality, i agree.

[Ricky Willox]

I use a set of Medusa speed link 5.1 headphones usually. Or I run a set of Mordaunt short 5.1 speakers through an Onkyo AV reciever when i want to annoy the nieghbours with the huge sub that shakes the room.

[Kevin Ascher]

Sennheiser here aswell

[Grant Powell]

5.1 speakers for me as i like the neighbours to hear when i race

ESP is reserved for people like Attila who have alien sim racing powers

[Steve Emmons]

I'm using a 5.1 Klipsch system with a Creative X-Fi card, but with all the people using headphones maybe I should give them a try. I have a pair of Sennheiser headphones...

[Oliver Amos]

I use an X-fi Xtrememusic with Sennheiser PC-161's (dont need the USB shizzle of the 166).

I have some Creative T6100 5.1 speakers but I rarely use them.

[Lee Downham]

I should have created 4 categories ... Sennheisers being the first on the list!
Gotta say, wow, what amazingly good taste most of us have!

[James Carter]

5.1 speakers, although most of the time they are turned down as I work nights and mainly play between 2am and 5am.

Should invest in some deecent cans.

[Ramon van Rijn]

Strange poll, because I am convinced much drivers use speakers AND headphones, depending on time of day, who is also in the house/room, etc.

I use headphones if I also use TS (to prevent the echo) and when my family is in the room.
Use speakers when alone and not on TS.

Speakers: Logitech 5400 5.1
Headphones: Logitech (don't know which, the non-usb; I hate USB headphones)

PS. I preferred the Senn 165, but I was in need of a headset and Senn was not available in the local shops. Its not the cheapest Logitech btw; has some good sound.

[Sol Leung]

For me, most of the time i'm on my "Bose In-Ear Headphones"
but sometimes, i'll turn on my old and cheap Creative 4.1 speakers if i'm not using TS.

[Gaëtan Legastelois]

headphone, it's good for to isolate itself.

[Keith Peppiatt]

headphones mainly - not want to wake the kids when racing. Sunday mornings though pop the speakers on and upset the missus

[Christian Ramlow]

Medusa 5.1 Headset very god
