I am just curious the diffirent genres of job place that allow full-size cans on their workers. I currently work at a job where headphones of any kind are right out.

I'm a CAD Team Leader for a consulting engineers. I often get a bunch of stuff to do that allows me to just sit and get on with it with my feet tapping and my 280's rocking... In our office it's mandated that if you want to listen to music "headphones MUST be worn so as to not disturb others"... we have an assortment of cans here: SR60's, HD280's, PX100's, and an engineer who brings his RS1's everyday.

....and I tend to watch TV late at night with my 555's - my reciever has trouble driving anything else... so my work day consists of maybe 6 - 7 hours with cans on, and I usually do a 12 hour day...

cartilage on the ears not in the ears .. the MSpros used to press down on a particular part of the ear when I used them, 10-12 hour sessions started causing pain, it would usually go away until one day it wouldn't , went to the doc and he said it will go away, didn't so went and saw and audiologist who said that it was possibly stressed cartilage damage, i should stop using them immeidately and prescribed a few ointments and tabs. fixed itself eventually, but boy was it painful.

- 2-4 hours at work at low-moderate volume: Computer->Aria->Sony MDR-CD1700

- 1-2 hours before going to bed: Kern Modded 777ES ->SDS->ATH-L3000 or W2002

Lately I listen less and less on my main rig as I've been excercising. So most of my listening are done at work.

I also bring my W2002 to use in my office on Friday too.

 

[trains are bad]

Maybe 2-4 hours on the weekend...maybe.

School sucks.

 

[xxlMusikfreak]

When I have to learn: 1hour max per day aktive listening (nothing else doing) and the rest of the time very quiet backroundmusic.

When I have time: 3-5hours aktive listening per day (and the rest backroundmusic - can't live without it).

I probably average about 3 hours a day, but it's highly variable.. some days I'll do 12 hour marathons, some weeks I won't listen at all. I usually try to give my ears a break if they feel worn out.

The worst was this summer when I had a light schedule for 2 months - I went on an ultra music producing marathon and probably spent about 12-15 hours a day with my headphones / studio monitors (depending on whether my girlfriend was sleeping at the time). In retrospect it wasn't very smart, but it was sure fun.

 

[Audiofiler]

I try and get at least an hour a day..usually twice that, and longer on the weekends (if I can help it)

 

[digitalmind]

1 or 2 full cd's. Most of the time just one though, before going to bed.

 

[guzziguy]

I keep my main setup at work and listen all doing the day when I'm not in a meeting, etc. So I'd say I average about 6-7 hours per workday.

At home, I can do very little headphone listening. The birds just won't allow it.

I can listen a little to a portable setup when going to bed. But I rarely stay awake long so it's a short listen.

 

[feh1325]

probably 2-3 cds a night

but i'll probably have a lot more free time after marching band and SATs are done

 

[sebascrub]

About 20 hours a day, when I don't see anyone! I have music on, either through speakers on my computer or on my iPod all the time, unless I'm in class. Even when I'm sleeping, my laptop stays on to play my tunes

 

[Oistrakh]

like 0 hours a day

 

[beamthegreat]

about 5-6 hours every weekdays and approximately 10 hours every weekends. My School and life sucks.

 

[choka]

I guess I average 4 hrs or more a day at work using IEMs, and around 1.5 to 2 hrs back home on full sized cans.
