[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 537383, member: 3960"] It depends on your circumstances. I find that if I'm in dense bush or under low shrubs then the headphones are useless. The noise of touching a branch or scraping through leaves is multiplied to the extent where nothing else can be heard. The speaker is by far the best way to go. Also in windy conditions the noise generated by wind flowing across the headphones can block everything else out unless you can stretch a beanie over the top. I have some very nice Grey Ghost headphones but I use the external speaker whenever possible if using the GPX4500. I find the headphones better on the SDC because the speaker is on the outside and the Trumpet is so poorly made that it falls apart with a bit of use in the bush. I can't say that I get more gold with one or the other but I wouldn't want to be left without the option of putting the headphones on. [/QUOTE]
