How do you listen to music

Preferably not through headphones. I'd much rather, fill the room with sound, rather than fill your head with sound.
 
At the moment I listen to cds on my Nad seperates but will be getting a Naim MU-SO so I'll be streaming via Spotify.
Ideally on vinyl, but do have a comprehensive CD collection too. I have an old, but good quality separates system (Linn/Naim/B&W).

I refuse to wear headphones or earphones. I also refuse to rent music, especially if I have a perfectly good copy of something with no T's & C's.
 
Hey Siri play .... 🥳

We've a couple of Apple Homepods, the one in the kitchen gets the most use in the evening while cooking 💃. Other than that it's the Airpods or Jaybird X3's while running which sadly rarely do these days. We used to buy our music but these days the whole family is a bit Apple daft and we have an Apple One family subscription so we can all listen to whatever mood takes us.

Family premium spotify these days via Samsung r6s. And after archiving hundreds of customers in loft have now started rebuking my favourites on vinyl for the basic turntable I have in the brewcave.
 
Donni brought me some Samsung ear buds last Christmas. Never really used them until one day I took them up the allotment on the advice of my daughter to listen to these podcasts. Amazing how much work gets done in no time!

In the house I listen to music on the record player.
 
I don't listen to music much these days - actually the only time I do is when I'm bottling. Either from my laptop plugged into amp and speakers, or cassette tape on the house stereo.
 
In the kitchen it’s on the google home mini
If it’s a night for music and drinks it’s on Harmon kardon onyx 4 speakers we have 3 in the house and they can all be linked together as 1. Super sound all round the house
 
My cassette player has gone home. I’ve literally had It since I was at school. Parents got it for me so I could save my basic programs from the ZX81. Bummer really, I have this hilarious after dinner speech from an air traffic controller on tape.
 
I buy CDs and have very many vinyl records. All of the CDs and increasingly more of the vinyl are ripped to flac files on my server. I listen to them on various wifi connected speakers dotted about the house. If I am out of the house then I have an app on my phone that connects to the server to allow me to play to a convenient blue tooth speaker or headphones.
 
Synology NAS, for the most part streaming to old but quality Squeezebox Duets. Can also stream to any capable device (eg phone, ipad etc) over my network or over the internet.
 
Family Premium Spotify for me. I ”lost” £1,000s of music when I divorced but for £15 odd per month I‘ve got it all back. And, my Daughter uses it loads for the crap she likes too 😜
In the lounge I play it via the TV app through a Yamaha amp, Yamaha subwoofer and a pair of 1980s Studio 10 speakers (Which I painted black). If SWMBO goes out and I put it on the stuff on the speakers needs to be removed first else it all bounces off onto the floor 😂

Have a couple of alexa speakers in the house, but mainly I use the bose wave soundtouch in the kitchen. Fabby sound for such a compact unit.
In my office/man cave I have a real mix and match setup hooked up to my pc and home server. Pioneer amp with 2 classic mission speakers, 4 bose mini surround sound speakers and a sub
 
I used to buy loads of music on vinyl and cd and now have a large collection i sometimes listen to the vinyl on a very old Linn LP12 and some Linn speakers. Just easier to stream nowadays, i use Apple music, either listened to on a Sonos system indoors or a couple of UE Megaboom bluetooth speakers (great sound and waterproof) outside when i am brewing/bottling/kegging.
Apple do it for £99 a year, if you pay for 12 months in one go, a bargain £8.25p a month
Have my music and films photos, multimedia etc backed up on a Qnap NAS system and some Netgear NAS units.
