POLL: How do you guys listen to new Gaga music?

[Head Empty 25,172]

When new Gaga music is released, what do you guys do when you listen to it? What kind of device do you use? Where do you do it? Do you listen to LQ versions online, or do you wait for 320kbps/FLAC quality? Or do you simply listen to it as soon as possible, without considering audio quality at all?

I personally always try to find a quiet room, and I take my dedicated earphones to listen to every song (even though they're not high-end, they're the best I can afford). But when ARTPOP leaked in like 60kbps I was just about to leave home, but I HAD to hear it. So in a weak moment I listened to it on the train with cheap earphones .

So what's your method of choice?

(The options in the poll might be a bit simplified compared to reality, so feel free to explain it in a comment)

[Rat Boy 43,566]

Dedicated headphones/earphones with good/great audio quality.
 

[Pop 4,541]

When new music leaks, I'll listen in any way possible.  I'm a cheap ho like that. 

[PrinceGaga 7,585]

I use my studio headphones, close my eyes and shut the world out. It's an experience! I love that time of new music! The first listen is really something special.  

[Miky 9,491]

I use my cheap headphones and go for a walk - I spent 3 hours walking around the city after Applause was released nostalgia

mix between the best possible earphones and amazing speakers with incredible bass 

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

I use my cheap headphones and go for a walk

Me too 

[Kanye West 1,676]

Whenever it's out. Though I first heard Applause when it was released on Youtube, but I was on vacation and had to use crappy LQ headphones to listen to it.

[RAMROD 109,604]

I use both great quality sound sytems and headphones.

The sound systems are installed both in my car and in our home.

My BF built a family size home theatre for us in one of the room in the house with couch and projector and excellent sound systems.

That is where we have our DVD/BluRay watching and music listening activity going on.

While headphones are for both my laptop and portable music player when going outdoor.

It is great to her tiny bits details that adds to experience.

And when it actually pans from left to right for some songs that uses that technique.

Usually my earphones

This. 

[Hurem 17,800]

I've got my iPhone earphones and it sounds pretty good, idk 

[NewYorkCity 10,536]

I lay down on my bed, put my headphones on, and close my eyes  

[Ophelia 4,744]

My middle shelf HP headphones >>>>> NASA quality speakers. I don't like sounds scattered all over the room. They're not some dedicated headphones, I use them all the time (even now, Like a Prayer is on ).

I'm a complete sucker to quality. I'd never scrobble a song that isn't 320kbps  Not a fan of FLAC tho, bcuz my phone doesn't support it. But leaks.....yea, I always listen to them  My ears are bleeding, but at least Gaga blesses me with her 128kbps voice  

[djBuffoon 12,123]

The best headphones I can get my hands on. As badly as I want to listen immediately, I know that Gaga and her producers work overtime to enhance the sonic experience, and I owe it to them and myself to wait and hear it properly.
