I like external ones because they are less likely to pick up noise from surrounding devices as they are not next to them.
😉
yep – definitely agree with that…. computers put out so much electromagnetic interference its unreal….
until recently I used to be into listening to all sorts of mad stuff on shortwave but I find the amount of computer kit in my room wipes out the reception totally…
a cheap and cheerful solution to some of it is to wrap the offending articles in tinfoil [baking foil] which cuts most of it, if not all of, the em radiation and looks very shiny too :weee:

exactly that glo which is why i was recommending externals [its hard to do that inside a laptop] I use tinfoil to prevent em radiation causing noise as I am a measurable source of such pollution [radios stop working if I am within 60 cm of them [among other things *sighs*]]
Just wrap the box except where the cables go in completely in tinfoil and hey presto – far less interference :weee:
It sounds extremely silly but it works extremely well – I have used it on external soundcards [a moment of inspiration on my part :groucho:], external modems and even radios in my vicinity :weee: so I could listen to them with them on my desk :groucho:
