Lately I've been mostly listening to my 650's on my vinyl setup every day. Maybe once a week I'll throw on a CD on my stax Lambdas/Lambda pro's. My 580's barely see any usage nowadays so i may sell those soon. Still use my trusty sr60's on my PC hotusb1 setup every now and then.
I listen to speakers mostly so I can't say every day, but I use K1000 and K240 Sextett most regularly. K1000 for portable (K240 limits me hearing other people and things like cars) and K240 for while laying down at home (K1000 falls off when laying down), although I do mix it up sometimes and if I'm listening at home not late at night I'll probably use either (one of the K1000s or the K240). I use K400/K401 less often but when I want a different sound than usual.
I hate to admit it, but speaker-fi is becoming a bigger part of the listening regimen. As for headphones, I mix it up. I keep "on deck" the RS-1, HD-650, DT880, K-501, and DT48. I'll grab whichever one I'm in the mood for and also switch up between the Zana Deux and Si2A3. Still, the Quads continue to grow on me.
Not an everyday user . Maybe 3 days a week for an hour or two session. Enjoying solitude for any more than that tends to annoy the wife.
My use is mostly dictated by my laziness at swapping interconnects on amps. I tend to listen to whats hooked up for several weeks at a time before overcoming inertia and swapping amps. So it's either K1000 or O2mkI. Last couple weeks it's been Stax, but probably swap this weekend if I get around to it.
None. Most used: KSC-75 (portable rig). #2: RS-1 (late night). #3: Microsoft LX-3000 headset (gaming where I need voice). But I use my speakers more than any of those.
At my desk I tend to switch between the SR80 and ESW9 depending on what kind of music I'm listening to and if the other pair has begun to irritate my ears at all.
When talking on Skype it's the PX100s all the way, as they're both comfortable and allow me to hear myself when I talk.
Portable = ESW9s (or at least they were before my iPod went on the fritz).
Running = cheap pair of throw-away iems. I have a long plane ride coming up, though, so I'm probs going to invest in slightly more expensive pair of iems, probably some Audio Technicas.
The two cans I used the most are a Yuin OK1 (at the office or on the go) and a MarkL Modded Denon AH-D5000 at home. However I do mix in my other cans with the K501 and RS-1 being the two other cans I use the most.
My ESW10JPN is used at work every day for the hours I can. Hopefully, soon I will have the Ultrasone Edition 8 for this and retire the ESW10JPN. This is yet to be determined.
My Ultrasone Edition 9 is used every day after work when I get home while I am at my computer.
My Stax SR-007 MkII and KGSS is used on the weekends while chilling out in my easy chair watching golf and napping.

There have been several comments like this, none of which are a surprise to me, as an owner of truly world-class loudspeakers. I love listening to BOTH speakers and headphones, and don't find them competitive, but complimentary. However, there are many times when 80db listening through speakers just isn't a possibility for me, so I do get more headphone time than speaker time.
In any case, lots of GREAT answers to my query - thank you ALL!
