How do you play music?

Following from the earlier question about how often I am curious to know how you guys consume it, portable speaker? headphones? hi-hi separates?

I have a computer connected to a USB DAC to a two box Quad amp and B&W standmount speakers.

I also have a Sonos Connect Amp connected to a couple of B&W theatre monitors in the kitchen. They’re surprisingly good for their size, helped by positioning which helps the bass develop

Google minis in kitchen and bedroom. Big beefy Sonos in the sitting room. Wonderboom for anywhere else and AirPods for mobile listening.

Am also currently researching a decent streaming system with the help of What HiFi. In love with the beauty of a Ruark but need to go and listen to see if the sound matches the looks!

AirPods or over the head earphones, depends on talkative my colleagues are being around me.

I always use headphones but when the chance arises to use a decent surround sound system I'm going to take it all day

At home, bluetooth overear headphones. Cheap ones, I am not particularly wealthy. Out and about, bluetooth earbuds. Never play music through any form of speaker, would much rather mind my own business and let others mind their own. I like the benefits of bluetooth and just being able to get up and walk about without taking off my headphones and I have never been an audiophile and think its rubbish you'll ever notice the quality difference unless you're a producer or someone professionally involved in music itself.
