Just wondering how many people use earphones/headphones on their PSP? I'm currently using Griffin Earthumps but it's more comfortable to not use any earphones at all in my opinion.

I use them all the time because they block out the sounds around you and you can experience the games audio better.

Most of the time. A big part of the gaming experience is the audio so I want to make sure I can hear it loud and clear.

Yep, I mostly play my PSP at night, in bed before falling asleep. I love wearing headphones because the sound immerses you in the game that much more.

I have sweet headphones too. They're definitely more than I thought I'd ever pay for headphones but man, WELL worth it. The best headphones ever.

I pretty much use them all the time, because I mostly play my PSP at school so it's best to take out noise and hear the game in better audio too. What would I do during my boring study hall without them?

I usually don't bother, but for games like Silent Hill, Patapon, Lumines, and now God of War; it is a necesity.

LOL. Fabulous response.

I also second the opinion on wearing headphones in the dark while playing Silent Hill: Origins. It's about as creepy as Doom 3 in the dark was for me. Wow!

I use them mainly when my brothers are near, cause they're really noisy, or on good games that require more focus, specially Silent Hill Origins, with the headphones the game is really scary (wich is great)

Sometimes, but usually I take it off after half an hour or so. My ear hurts! Does anyone have the same experience? or is it I'm the only one in the planet that having a pain in my ear when using headphones too much?

I tore my headphones apart with anger, listen to this in one headphone (left side) the cord was like...2inches long and on the other side 6 times longer and there was no way you could get them back in place! So in the anger of the moment (trying to fix them) i simply tore the wire apart!

They're made like that on purpose. They're all like that. It's so the right headphone cord can wrap around the back of your neck. :|

So from what I understand using earphones/headphones depends more on the game you play.

Only if there's other people close by who don't want noise.
