My listening experience would be characterised by different choices; the loud and silent, the highs and the lows, depending on the situation and possibly the hormones driving me at the moment. Different persons have different experiences, all thanks to technology and the variety of options it has afforded, we have these several experiences.
Unlike when the option available was to listen to what was blasted through the radio and then listening solely through phone speakers, there's been a variety of available options today to suit one's choice and offer them the best listening experience. As humans, we're seemingly bound to one form of listening or the other. These could be music, podcasts, talk shows. We're however drawn to listening in one way or the other.
While I could prefer to blast sounds through the loudspeakers on some days, on other days I could be moved to just limit the sound level to my phone speaker or even an earpiece. Different situations call for different approaches for me. And it's for reasons like that I'll say I subscribe to the use of earpieces, boom boxes, and air pods. I would love headphones too, but I'm not much into it currently. Maybe because I've used it only a few times.
When working and desiring to listen to some good music－of course that's highly recommended during such－I highly go for the use of a boom box. Such medium gives me the beats of the songs well enough adding more to the melody in it, ultimately helping my work go well and effortlessly in a way. When moving around and getting engaged in such work, it's a great choice for that kind of situation, alongside times I do my design works as well; drawing and designing, the boom box is a great companion.
I'll say the case is different when it comes to watching movies, interviews, discussions, webinar sessions, and inspiring and educative video content online. The earpiece could be said to be my choicest option here, this more for the reason that I would always want to get the wording well enough, loud and clear. Listening through this means gives me a close connection with almost every bit of the aforementioned conditions for listening.
Then comes the airpod. This seems to be for me a preferential option when going out. Currently, I don't have one, though I used to. While I would love to go out with my earpiece, listening to some good music even as I embark on the journey to my destination－distant or short－the airpod happens to be better and more comfortable for me; Keeping me in a close connection with the sound as the earpiece would, however the wireless nature of it affords it to be free around me which makes it better in this sense. I tend to lean towards it most in this case or situations as such.
So, my listening experience could be defined as diverse given the medium and nature of sound distribution and also the situations that cause for their use. The major thing is that I enjoy whatever good thing I'm listening to, get the best of it and enjoy it again.
