If headphones are better for gaming, I was pondering if the same could be applied to osu!, not only because I've grown tired of my 5.1 speaker setup but also for occupying every corner of my desk. I've already stopped using speakers for this game but is it advantageous for anything else that isn't watching movies/anime?

I always use headphones for osu!, I found speakers is not good enough (mind you, I'm using laptop speakers). But I still use them to watch movies/anime.

My bad, didn't make use of search to check threads but I'm already more clarified why nobody uses speakers for osu!. Main reason being, I don't want my family to hear crazy ass weeaboo music.

My headphones got enhanced bass, so no duh I'd be using it over speakers 8-)

Headphones help focus the sound waves into your ears, whereas speakers will obviously release sounds waves to all parts of your room.

I wouldn't say headphones are 'better' than speakers, just more practical for gamers since they don't annoy anyone else with noise, have a mic, are mobile, take up less space etc.

Better quality audio might make songs sound nicer, but I really doubt they'd make you perform any better. Though if you do want to get a pair, I'd recommend Steel Series Siberia V2 headset; they're comfortable, good sound quality and only around $110~

I prefer earpiece since my headphone are not comfortable to wear, it helps me to isolate noise I don't want to hear and focus better. And I don't like listening to additional bass from speakers or earpiece even though I really like Nightcore.

Just for the sake of creating myths, I feel more competitive with a pair of headphones rather than speakers.
