What do you use for PC audio outside of a headsets

Does Asus Xonar Essense count? Anyway, I don't think I need anything else, I'm fine with my headphones.

Just headphones atm, but I've been wanting to pick up a good DAC+Amp for a while (like the Objective2).

I have a pair of $15 desktop speakers and a pair of earbuds I got out of a cereal box I think.

I have a set of older Logitech X-530 5.1 surround sound speakers, but mostly just use them in 2.1. Still prefer my Skullcandy Grind headphones. I don't need a headset cos all I'd be doing is swearing at people otherwise XD

I've had the same Sp-q06s genis speakers for like 10 years, maybe more, had them with my first computer and i still have them
and the chepeast sennheiser headset i could find, the HD 202 , ive had this for like 5 years now, i borrowed them from my brother once, i liked them, bought my own, they broke, borrowed my brother's one again and one day he bough some thermaltake ones so i got to keep this one
i tend to have some random earbuds too, the one i had last i think got stolen from me at my job like 2 days after i bought them. I listen to a LOT of music all day but i really dont have a good ear, nor the expendable money, and i also break earbuds a lot for some reason so im fine with this things

A headset & a set of Swam M10's, with Audio Switcher bound to a macro to easily switch between the two.

When not using headphones, i'm using a Dell AC511 soundbar, which is attached to my Dell monitor and lets me switch between headphones and soundbar pretty easily within Windows. It's not that good quality-wise, but is good enough to let other people listen to audio.

99% of the time (not even an exaggeration) I use my headphones.

But the one percent of the time, I tend to use my old speaker set with two directional speakers and one subwoofer. But it's a pain in the ass to set up and I only use it when friends visit. But now, when I can't use my headphones, then I tend to just switch on the monitor's speakers. They sound pretty damn weak, but I'm not looking for an auditory experience from them. Mainly just a temporary fix where I don't have to plug in an entire sound system.

haven't any atm 😭

Small blutooth JBL speaker. Or just the original lame ass speakers that are built in my cheap ass monitor.
I used to have house stereo, but then I had to move, never bothered to set it up again and in the end my mom took it so I just listen to music when I drive around in my car as it has some serious BOSE stereo in it :D

cheap speakers. the home cinema setup is elsewhere.

Technics amp and Gale Gold monitors. Sometimes I plug in an old Carlsbro guitar amp and sit on it when I really want to feel explosions.

My trusty cans are a pair of (now vintage? :P) AKG K240 Cardan.
Even though the cable, connector and foam had to be replaced, they still sound beautiful <3

I also got an AMD 470 bitstreaming PCM through HDMI to my Yamaha-RX-V381 receiver.
That drives two custom made monitor speakers (6" woofer, piezo tweeter) and a sub (Cambridge Audio Aero 9).

The setup was calibrated using the well known umik-1 and goes through Equalizer APO + MathAudio Room EQ.

All in all I'm pretty happy with it, it didn't cost much and I learned a lot.

If you are interested in upgrading your stuff remember these points:
bass needs power
bass needs volume (talking about the size of both the speakers and the room they will fill)
power does not equal quality
the placebo effect on the pricetags is real
you can get some really nice deals if you decide to get used stuff (like I did)

(supposing you already got some decent speakers, not necessarily expensive)
it usually is a better bet to calibrate your existing equipment and/or fix the environment (minimize bass boom, speaker arrangement, audio dampening foam etc) than buying new stuff
^do not underestimate the last point

Nothing.

Most of the time headphones but when I'm home alone and want to watch a movie/listen to some music I use a JBL soundbar, easy setup considering you have a HD TV./monitor

I got some cheapo Speedlink speakers that just exist so I can put my feet on the subwoofer and are not even plugged in. I use my headset for everything.

Bose Companion 2 Serie III. And I use them far more often than my Arctis 7 headset.

Pondering about soundcards, half goes, oh you don't need one, the other goes yeah it's definitely an improvement, then you need so much more and dozens of unknown terms if you are not some audiophile.

A Logitech Z2300 2.1 setup for as long as the right speaker holds out. I'll probably replace it with a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 setup when it finally gives up the ghost.

I use Creative Titanium HD with one pair of opamps exchanged (for now). Beside headphones I currenty use some Technics tower EH780 connected to pc, tested some monitors but they were worse.

A pair of Technics SB-F2 connected to LH-T255 that is connected further to the Scarlett Solo MK2, and two LG LHS-25SDW connected to LH-T255.

For gaming I just use a pair of HyperX Alpha.
