To play I stay on my speakers but sometimes to not disturb those around me I switch to headphones. A good sound card + a very good 7.0 speaker also gives an exceptional result. Really before I only used headphones but since I tasted the crystal clear sound of the speakers I have difficulty going back. The only downside to the speakers is that you have to reconfigure the sound when switching from gaming to music to get the best result. After the helmet allows you to have other suptiles like the enemy who walks softly behind you to reduce you to ashes hahaha.
