Bluetooth earbuds on my phone. And wired earphones if I'm on my laptop.

Youtube videos have terrible audio. Any of the streaming audio services (even Youtube Music) will sound better.
As far as how I listen, I use wi-fi to speakers or wi-fi to streamer/dac/amp/headphones depending.
Laptop speakers and headphones
headphones all the time
I don't want everyone in the room to know what I'm listening to. But if I need to sing because THIS SONG HITS then I get it off the headphones and to speakers or just my phone audio output.
I have a pair of Focal Elegia connected to my Pc via a Sabaj a20d DAC. They sound great. Sometime in the future I wanna upgrade them to the Stellia.
Depends on what I'm doing and where I am.
Out of the house? AirPod Pros.
At home? My speaker setup (Focals, forgot what model).
At home but listening to music? My Stax electrostatic headphones. Nothing can beat them, at least nothing I'll ever be able to afford.
Bluetooth speakers for music in the kitchen, attached sound system for steaming TV, over-ear noise cancelling bluetooth headphones for desk work, over-ear bluetooth ear protection headphones for shop/yard work, earbuds for shopping/etc (fuck store muzak).
I often swap between three:
- a convenient pair (wireless - Galaxy Buds Pro)
- a good sounding pair (IEM with a DAC - Moondrop Aria)
- a sleeping pair (small and cheap - Moondrop Quarks)
