MY LISTENING PREFERENCE

When it comes to listening, particularly music, I think I’ll actually prefer listening to it so others can also enjoy it but then, there is a tiny bit of problem- I enjoy listening to my songs on repeat and a lot of persons aren’t a fan of it. These days it has become so normal that I don’t even think about it anymore. Well, l I did a little adjustment recently, hehe. I had to create a playlist of songs I find myself listening to more often, about 7 of them and that’s where I play my music from. At least it will take people time to know my playlist is on repeat, lol.

Besides music, when it comes to watching a movie or watching reels or listening to podcasts or recordings, I prefer using ear phones. That way, it keeps me focused on what I need to listen to; no distractions. I recently got an headphone for these purposes and it has been really helpful. Sometimes when I just want to listen to myself, I place my headphone on and play one of my favorites songs from my playlist.

When it comes to listening to voice notes from people, I prefer listening to it directly from my phone speaker because why not? Their voices are not music, lol. I only listen to voice notes on my headphones when it’s connected and a message comes in or when I’m in class and the place is noisy. Besides that, listening to voice messages is always directly from my phone.

Well, those are the ways I wish to listen most of the time but it doesn’t happen that way all the time. When I’m at home with my roommate, she is always interested in playing songs too and she most times don’t make use of her earphones so I just listen to her songs with her (they are actually nice, I enjoy it) but if I want to do something that doesn’t need any distractions, my headphones come in very handy (she actually just turned on her music, lol).

When it comes to listening, I love being intentionally about it and because of that, I don’t like it being a distraction to anyone. So having listening aids was a must. At first I bought an earpiece but it got bad in less than 3 days. It was at that point I decided to save up money to get an AirPod instead. But when I went to the shop, I had a change of mind and bought an headset instead. I’m glad I did because the headset has been really helpful. It’s quite loud even at the lowest volume.

When it comes to doing chores at home, I always enjoy listening to music because it keeps me awake, hehe. I love singing like a novice and dancing like a pro, lol. Sometimes I wonder where that energy comes from. It is when I do my chores and listen to songs at the same time I start learning that particular song unconsciously because at some point, I forget I’m even playing songs; it just becomes a part of my activity.

I don’t think I’m fully satisfied with my listening patterns at the moment though but they are quite manageable. I’m still very much opened to learning better ways to listen. Using headphones hurts my ear and it gets tiring, same as earpiece and speakers. The only one that is really nice and comfortable for me is listening directly from my phone. It’s clear and enjoyable too.
