On "amazing" headphones, through "good" computer speakers, through your laptop speakers, "a record player," etc.
I have always just listened on my comp on some speakers/subwoofer I bought and it sounds very good, but I rarely turn it up very loud in order to be considerate to others! Just bought some "shitty" highly rated $25 headphones from Amazon though and am listening to them now and I wish it sounded "crisper" or something, but it is still very good because I am able to turn it up very loud! Hearing a bunch of stuff I never heard before and all that stuff that comes w listening on headphones.
So how do you mostly listen?????

When I'm home alone I'll use my "good" laptop speakers, otherwise I'll do laptop speakers.

Computer speakers with subwoofer
Or my WESC headphones otherwise. Not the greatest headphones but they're ok for the price.
Just got some Bose speakers for my PC on xmas so I've been using those mostly. That, and a Sony iPod dock I have

I use the audio jack from my speakers/subwoofer and just plug it into my phone.

Feels like my ears are too big/stick out too much for headphones. Feels really painful after like 3 mins, like they are being forcibly pressed up against my head O WELL
What about the ones that go inside you ear?
but I guess it's hard find earbuds that are of actual quality tho

Those never stay in my ears. Probably need those ones that have like a hook that goes around your ear. w/e though, I feel like I wouldn't be able to keep wearing any headphones for over like 30 mins without feeling bothered
I have these

and they're not too bad, but yeah, I can't really wear them for more than an hour

No music unless it's part of a video game. Actually I listened to some Billy Joel the other day playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. I use some Logitech surround sound speakers around the room. They are pretty old though.

Mostly through my computer speakers/subwoofer. Second after that would be my CD player, and occasionally (or when I'm playing vinyl), the "home theater" system.

Just recently upgraded to headphones that go all the way around my ears (some Bose model, dunno) rather than my old Dr. Dre Beats Solos, which were good but pressed on my ears too much.
New ones are extremely comfortable. Almost more comfortable to wear them than to not wear them.

I have a set of bluetooth head phones and a bluetooth speaker for listening to online stuff and I have an XM radio hooked up to a set of speakers as well. I probably will dump XM though come march when my term is up, as its ridiculous to spend $18 a month for it given they have raised rates again this year.
Laptop speakers (Klipsch audio) and an awesome pair of Koss PortaPros. I had a decent 5.1 surround system back in India :-\
On the PC: iBall speakers + subwoofer. A warm sound thanks to the wood.
On the laptop: Denon headphones / Sennheiser ear phones depending on how much time i think i'll be on the system. (The longer the hours, the more i use the Denons)
Otherwise, i have a great 5.1 surround system (Philips) to listen to CDs when required.

Laptop speakers.
Probably going to upgrade to a set of headphones with noise cancellation capabilities in the near future.
