On another note, do you guys wear headphones/earbuds or use external speakers? For me, I really find external speakers distracting, while headphones suck me into the code.

Headphones, but mainly because part of the use of me listening to music is to block out other sounds.

Earcup headphones all the way. Noise canceling is an added bonus.

I'm incredibly glad my last employer bought me a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort headphones for Christmas. Probably the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn.

Speakers. I don't want anything "touching" me when I'm doing my thing.
