Speakers or Headphones

[Tarvark]

In my extensive reseach I have concluded that some U2 albums need the "out loud" treatment, while others can not bear it.

My list:

Must be outloud: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Boy

Has to be through a Headphone: Unforgetable Fire. Zooropa.

Its just the way it has to be for me. Cant change it up.

Yours?

I love listening to Zooropa with headphones

I hate listening to anything without headphones. I think the last time I listened to ANY album on speakers was back in July, and that's because I was in a car.

Everyone must listen to If god will send his angels with headphones.

while travelling on the tube in rush hour. It's just bizarre, like looking at the world through someone elses eyes.

Pop is a strange one. Some work with, some without, many both ways.

Either really loud on speakers, or on headphones. Otherwise you miss too much.

U2 in cars isn't too good unless you have excellent speakers, otherwise I kinda lose the bass.

 

[Clawgrabber]

really loud IN A CAR or HEADPHONES those are the only way to listen to U2.

headphones have this personal feeling to them...I love it... but if i listen to them in speakers it must be blasting LOUD!!

It's a sonic experience...It's cool how it shifts from one ear to the next. Although, I have to be in the right mood to appreciate this song. Sometimes I find it frustratingly slow and plodding...

In terms of other stuff, live U2 on a good home stereo is incredible...if you're allowed to freewheel and perform necessary theatrics and air guitar...

speakers! gotta share the music, and make U2 the life of the party.

headphones are nice for subway and airplane rides though, agreed.

I got hooked on listening to any U2 music on headphones in bed before going to sleep. Gives me cardiac arrest, though
