How often do you listen to music with headphones?

I just thought it may be interesting to see how unusual headphone listening is in our community. Please mention what are your most used headphones. Mine are in my signature and I voted "always".

 

Usually for me. Sennheiser HD600 are my best ones, Bowers and Wilkins PX my best wireless ones, and my latest acquisition , AirPods Pro, are my out and about phones. I haven’t used my Oppo PM3s for while; I’ll have to give them a go.

 

Never. I wouldn't say I hate them but speakers offer a much better experience. Personally, I find the music can breathe when listened through speakers whereas headphones offer a more claustrophobic experience. Some might refer to it as more intimate.

When I didn't work from home, I would listen through headphones every day while riding the subway. It certainly was time that I valued and I enjoyed listening as I oftentimes didn't have the time to listen when I got home but since I'm saving 2h/day of traveling time, I can take that time and listen through my system which is a more rewarding experience for me.

 

Daily while working. Never when not. I like headphones fine, but I much prefer speakers.

 

AKG - K 240 - studio headphones

 

I chose usually as since I got the new Grado Hemp headphones, I will be doing a lot more listening with headphones. I also have Senn 600's and Quad Era 1's. I think the Grado's are going to be the go to choice for me. Only had them since yesterday and need to get to my weekend to give them a serious workout.

 

I've always seen headphones as a way of getting champagne performance for beer budget price and size, although the new Mysphere 3.2 headphones weren't cheap.

 

Almost every night for 30 minutes or so. It's become part of my nightly routine which helps me relax for sleep.

After trying several makes and models. I chose Beyerdynamic DT-990s.

 

Listened to HD6XX at the office most days. Have Audeze LCD-2 that I listen to 2-4 night of the week at home.

I prefer speakers, but it's not always possible to listen that way.

 

Whenever my OH is listening to something else, and my music would interfere. Otherwise speakers all the way

I have a pair of Sennheiser and a pair of Beyer Dynamic that I bought in the late 1970s or early 1980s, both of which are still going strong....

Use Grado at night when I'm in bed reading.

 

Often when I'm out and about - I use Samsung Galaxy in-ears which are excellent. Ignore the reviews, I can only imagine the reviewers didn't break them in for a couple of hours. I usually listen to Spotify, podcasts, live radio or flac files on my S10.

 

Every day.

 

Hmm....it's hard to say. The only time I use headphones is when I don't want to disturb my wife and kid. So they go to bed, I stay up - headphones it is. They go shopping - speakers at near concert level it is!

 

There doesn’t appear to be a suitable poll option for this answer, but I use headphones for a little while each night. Usually it’s the AKG K702 headphones, but sometimes Grado SR80e.

 

I will use my h-phones if I really feel like cranking up some volume, usually at night.
There are two pair I listen to: Sennheiser HD414's from 1973, kept alive by new
pads and a total I believe of 2-3 elements. I think the pads when I acquired them
were gray/white headband. In the 90's I spray painted them black and got the
yellow pads (larger 424's) to upgrade the look. Grado SR60e's that I bought back
in the mid 90's still sound great, no replacement parts. Both are lightweight and
comfortable,

 

Usually for me, Beyerdynamic T1 with Beyerdynamic A20 headphone amp. I enjoy resolution, details and great volume without bothering my neighbours.

 

Grados almost every nite.

 

Not much difference between usually and always, so how about very often!

 

Half the time, sometimes because I don't want to disturb anyone and sometimes because my headphone rig sounds so good. (I didn't vote because there's no category for half the time and rarely and usually don't really fit).

 

Either Sennheiser HD650's or Focal Clear's are my choice for daily listening.

 

Only when doing digital transfers at the PC.

 

I voted rarely (could have done with a 50 / 50 option!) as I'd generally prefer to listen through speakers, but since getting my Stax SRS-7100 system a few months ago I listen more on headphones than ever previously. Absolutely wonderful bit of kit - my headphone listening before tended to be limited only to when I 'had to' in order to keep the peace at home, whereas I now quite often listen via the Stax through choice as a 'different' listening experience.

My room is overly full with records etc so I doubt I'm getting 100% out of the speakers that I could do, not to mention that the Primaluna has 8 Power Tubes that aren't cheap to replace (!), so I tend to save speakers now for the times I can have longer listening sessions (say 2 hours plus) at a reasonable volume and go Stax the rest of the time.

 

Before the Covid19 will be rarely. After Covid19 since we both work from home will still be rarely
Well maybe a little more than rarely but not enough to get to usually.
However, I enjoy my Cary 300sei and the Sennheiser HD800 or HD650 whenever I get a chance to listen to them.
