I hooked up my trusty old Logitech speakers to see if they still worked. They did, so I booted a game and sheepishly turned the volume way down in fear of annoying my neighbors, immediately remembering why I had these stuffed in a closet for almost 10 years.
Even if I lived in a soundproof house in the middle of nowhere I’d still be self-conscious enough to just use headphones instead 
i use desktop speakers 90% of the time and i only use the headset if im voice communicating with friends because i generally dislike headphones on my ears. one day ill get a stand mic but eh
