I don't care what they use, as long as they are white earbuds!

I make CowboyNeal sing/play all my music.

What happened to all the CowboyNeal options, anyway?

I use my laptop built-in mono speaker, or the earbuds I got with my cellphone. I know it may be overkill for the great music of today, such as the three Bees (Bieber, Black and the Bananaphone song), but these great acts deserve it, damnit.

When the Grateful Dead were on their Europe '72 tour, they got into one hotel in France that wasn't expected two busloads of hippies to show up - they did have a reservation for a 34-piece orchestra. Yeah, check the names, that was them..

I don't like my music loud but I like be able to feel the bass. Kinda limits my options.
You can play soft music, and ask someone to punch you in the stomach?

Unfortunately my answer is "Something else you ignorantly left off the list". Inductive loop and hearing aid.
