    Speakers or Headphones?

    When trying to AAA songs do guys recommend I use speakers or headphones? Does it help to hear your fingers hit the keys and keep beat or does it matter? I ask this because my speakers are at my brothers house and i don't want to go out and get them if they wont help any.

    I like to do manly things. You know, just manly guys do manly things. You know what I mean?

    I guess if you like turned down your head phones to hear the beat with your fingers you could do that. What kind of head phones do you have (shape)?

        I use both. There really is no difference for me because of how much trouble I have AAA'ing anything. Just depends where I'm at. If other people are in the room and would like to hear what they're doing - headphones, if I really don't care what other people think - I blast my speakers.

          Speakers, because I don't like to wear headphones when I don't have to. But honestly, sometimes the best way to get good accuracy is to mute the music, rather than listen to it one way or another.

            I personally use speakers, however many songs are offsync by about a second, and a few songs here and there are completely off. For those, sometimes it's best just to turn off sound, and play visually.

                  There are pros and cons for each. If you wear headphones, you'll probably be able to hear the music and the beat more clearly. However, if you use speakers, you'll be able to hear keytaps much better.

                  It's just personal opinion.

                    I prefer hearing keytaps.

                        My computer buzzes wildly (it'll explode soon), so I use the headphones to ignore it and other sounds. For AAAing, don't even use music unless you're doing something with too many BPM changes for keytaps to help.

                        Music mostly helps with hitting every note and predicting patterns.
                        I fail to AAA.

                          Both... I like headphones better though. Seem like I pay attention to the beat more with it stuck up next to my head.

                            I play with speakers, because it makes the keytaps blend in with the music better.
