How long have can you go without using headphones? Or how long have you gone?

 

[Jeff Guidry]

I can go weeks without using headphones. It's sort of a cyclical thing for me.

 

[dhwilkin]

A few weeks.

 

[pigmode]

Same here--its been a couple of months, except yesterday where I used it to verify that my Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 is hosed.

 

[tanfenton]

I begin to twitch after the second day.

3 days, but that was only because I was so busy with Uni studies, that I didn't have time for anything else. 3 days is way too long to go without music

for me, it depends on girlfriend status...

Single: 12 hours
Dating: Weeks/Months

and, well ~ lets just say that at the moment my headphones are almost always attached to my head

 

[Eagle_Driver]

For me, it depends on whether I have to go to work or stay home...

On work days: About 8 hours
On "off" days: several days (if my "off" time even lasts that long)

Whether I like it or not, I'm going to have to live without headphones for 3 weeks, because I'm not taking my W100's + JMT CHA-47 + D-EJ925 to the outdoors camp with me. I definitely can't take them on the Isle Royale camping trip, that would definitely be embarrassing, not to mention a fiasco.

To answer to first question, I like to listen to my headphones during the night, around 9 or 10, when I'm reading. That's also around the same time that I usually post; other than in the mornings as I'm doing now. So I can be without them for the entire day, and then I'll usually listen after the day is done. But now it's three weeks until my next headphone listen AND computer usage AND telephone call! Then, see all of you Head-Fiers in three weeks; that's when I'll be back to civilization!

Gone about 3-5 months without headphones since I sold my Etymotics 4S w/ Daniel Pumphrey's Silver cables (wonder where it is now)... Getting the bug to buy headphones again... This time it'll be better on my budget

 

[Braver]

an hour or two (when I'm not asleep ofcourse)

 

[john_jcb]

It varies. I use them every day at work. Weekends and evenings it depends what I have planned. Two days would be about the longest time.

 

[DeanA]

I never owned a quality set of headphones until March when I discovered Head-Fi. Since then I rarely go a day without using them. Otherwise I’d feel guilty about how much this new listening adventure has cost me since.

 

[ray4jc]

i spend hours at the computer most every day and usually if i'm at the computer i'm wearing my HD600s...sometimes...without any music playin

..........they r so comfy and all.....

I guess I wear them more than some since I don't have speakers anymore, so no headphones = no music for me.

So my headphones mean a lot
