I swear by my headset.

I also use built in monitor or TV speakers when watching video content.

Thanks I’m after speakers for gaming vs headsets.

an old headset with 60mm drivers wired directly into speakers with a knob so i can enjoy my music at 300% volume compared to the extremely low standard volume
i think the speakers are logi-something but they no longer exist

LG soundbar with a subwoofer (LG SL5Y) that I got in like 2018-2019

Sound bar with Dolby Atmos probably the way to go, this might help:

Headphones all the way. HD 650, SCHIIT Hel+ and a mic I made.

Some inexpensive, but decent, Edifier bookshelf speakers. I have them up on stands to bring them in-line with my ears.

Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers from around 2002. Like the sound. Sound a bit better than my other more modern 2.1 speakers. Hate really clear speakers like the rougher noise.

Yea I got studio rocket speakers but don’t want to use them for gaming. Want some 5.1 bass action.

I’ve seen these so far not sure if any good

I've had to live next to ♥♥♥♥♥ up crazies listening to their music blasting constantly

I use headphones all the time.

If i had people over often I would get speakers but when I have company over we just go do something somewhere else

I'm a bit wonky when it comes to audio...on my main rig, I have:
1. Red Dragon soundbar (RD GS570) for a simple audio setup for when I watch YT on my rig
2. Philips Fidelio B97 soundbar Dolby ATMOS, DTS-X capable for movies and gaming
3. iFi Micro iDSD Black Label DAC combo for serious/personal audio appreciation with various cans I have
4. Creative SXFI Theater (wireless) for those times I prefer the convenience of wireless cans

2nd rig
1. Sonicgear U200 soundbar for audio for YT viewing
2. Fostex HP-A4 DAC combo for private audio appreciation with my cans
3. LG SP8YA soundbar for gaming and movies

I have 18 speakers (amps, subs, etc...) and many are varying in brand, sound, and usage.

I can turn them all on but that would not be proper, but I usually turn on 5 - 8 of them for gaming as some are simply for mixing and have zero bass.

Razer set gets really bad reviews on amazon here.

Majority Sierra plus seems to have less than spotless reviews on amazon. 7% 1 star 3% 2 star 82% 4 and 5 stars combined. Might get some info by reading the low end amazon reviews.

oxs might not have many reviews? 7% 1 star?

Usually look for lots of reviews and high ratings from different sources. Need to read the lower reviews since might be inherent issues or possibly warranty issues or parts got changed and newer models bad, etc... Some speakers can focus on bass. Can change settings and sound depends on audio app used sometimes. Need to look at the comment dates also.

I'd say go hifo headphones and a seperate mic or look for a home theatre surround set, second hand can get you a huge upgrade for not much money, might need to add an amp/ av reciever, but, again, second hand they can be had very cheap for a 5.1 setup.

Edit.

As for what I am using, shure srh1540 or fiio fl1 headphones with a schiit audio mofi/magni 2 stack or a 7.1.2 surround home theatre setup using my very old eltax tower speakers and sub with mordaunt short genie 2 surrounds, eltax monitor atmos, speakers hooked upto a denon x4700h a reciever.
