Though I have spent beau coup dollars on my stationary setups (Sennheiser HDVD 800, HiFiMAN EF-6, Schiit Gungir Multibit and Mjolnir, Grado HPA1 and RA1), I find that I spend a surprisingly high fraction of my listening in a mobile state, using my various portable setups that I carry around with me through the house or on walks (Chord Hugo w/ Grado GS2000e, Oppo HA-2 with Ultrasone Edition 8, Sony ZX1 with Sony Z7, Lotoo PAW Gold with Grado RS1e or GS1000i, etc, etc.).

What fraction of your listening do you do sitting at a stationary setup vs. mobile?

Most of the time I'm at home.. home office or just home. I do travel by plane fairly often and I've been bored out of my mind. DOH! I'll bring a DAP on my next trip and see if it kills the boredom.
