Turn on my amp and wait an hour for it to get warm, make a cup of coffee and start listening while browsing reddit :)

I listen:

Music sessions, on the go, when reading, in the background whilst ripping some games, before I sleep and during long flights and trips

I tend to listen to music whilst working, travelling, tidying/cleaning, eating, gaming (with the right game that is) even when showering!

I love having different playlists to suit my setting/mood/the task I’m doing etc.

I did notice recently when going to see Matthew Halsall live that I had listened to his newest album mainly whilst doing other things, and not just putting time to one side to sit and listen to music… like I used to a lot more than I have recently… It was nice just focusing in and listening to the songs, but in a live setting.

IEM’s when going out. Headphones when I’m home. When i’m bored I always like to listen to “3d” videos like Barber Shop and Soundblaster’s Demo. Watch this scene from Tron, listen to Sail by Awolnation for that arousing bass and London Grammar’s Intro for the lovely vocals and violins.

For me I usually listen to music when I’m walking or traveling, something rhythmic, energetic with my IEMs. When I’m at home and just study or work on something I usually listen to bardcore with headphones. But there are times when I just listen to music or critical listening then I just close my eyes and try to feel the music and I’m not doing anything else.

Most of the songs I listen are from rhythm game(osu) so I mostly listen while playing. I found music itself to be a bit boring so I enjoy having some notes to tap along the rhythm.

Live performances on YouTube through TV speakers while I sit on the couch and get work done on my laptop

IEM’s while I walk my dog

Headphones are set up at my bedside, either listen while working on my laptop or I’ll close the laptop and just listen to music before going to sleep.

Mostly while browsing the internet or playing games that dont really require me to focus on ingame audio. Also while driving in the car of course.
Every now and then ill sit back or lie in bed and be immersed in music while I do nothing but relax.

Set-up and eq for half an hour, then listen to 2 songs get disappointed then, eq for another hour then listen to 1 song and start researching to buy next set of IEMs

It really depends. I guess my listening is done in this order:

1. At work with headphones, obviously doing something else at the same time
2. At home with headphones, while doing something else
3. At home on speakers, not doing anything else but listening to the music
4. At home on speakers, while doing things like cleaning
5. On holiday with headphones, like on the beach or a bench somewhere, doing nothing but enjoying the music and taking in the atmosphere of the place

I have an ZMF Auteur OG. I pair it at home with the Eufonika H5 miflex amp and the Gustard R26 dac. I sometimes listen to music while watching shitty reality tv shows but other times I will just listen with nothing on at all.

I mostly listen to my iems when I’m in the train going somewhere, basically anytime I take the train unless I’m with someone else. Then at home to relax when I come back from school/work or when I have free time, either iems or headphones. Sometimes in bed before sleep

I usually only wear headphones when playing games, because I think wearing headphones to play games can help me better enjoy the joy of the game, and better experience the game’s kill sound effects, background music, etc.

I put my headphones on. go into the bathroom and get bottomless. sit on the edge of the bathtub and put one foot on the wall so my legs are spread eagle, then that’s when I press play on the headphones start my music and proceed to wax my butthole. yeah I have a problem with hair on my body.

I typically rotate between headphones, IEMs, wired earbuds depending on how much time I have and how I’m feeling. I’m rotating between IEMs and wired earbuds most often. I have speakers, receivers, CD players, cassette players that I don’t use very frequently now. I stream music, play flac streams, FM radio streams. I have wireless earbuds & wireless headphones plus Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Sport Headphones for walking or whenever my wife talks to me while I’m listening.
