What do you DO whilst listening to music?

I have two setups, the first is in my office so its pretty easy for me to say most of the time I am working whilst listening to this setup. The other one is there intended to be a dedicated listening area but at times I find I am wanting to otherwise occupy myself so I will be doom-scrolling addictive sites like Reddit and Head-Fi, playing endless match-three games on my phone or using the Switch I bought for my daughter to play games that don't require sound (actually really difficult to find good examples of these).

Curious to know what you all do whilst listening to your lovely gear :) I just deep- furniture cleaning , and it looks brand new! I used a mix of mild soap and warm water for wooden surfaces and a fabric cleaner for the upholstery. Dust and stains are gone, and everything smells fresh. Regular cleaning really helps maintain furniture’s beauty and longevity!

Scale models mostly, cross stitch, drawing.
Mostly thinks that involves using my hands whilst the head gets music

Depends on the music.

Some music I play whilst browsing the web
Other music I play when I fix broken items
With most music I just listen to the music and let my imagination go wild influenced by the music. Call it daydreaming perhaps.

Same, perfect at night with the D16 and lcdi4 at bedtime with prescription dry herb :)

Whilst listening I tap my foot and pick-up my jaw from the floor - Would you believe I read professional reviewers?

I only read music reviews because they sometimes manage to dig up info I couldn't find myself (when founded, where from, who are the band members, etc.)
Re. the music itself I rarely if ever agree with the review(s) :thinking:

The most (time) by far! …working. :ksc75smile:
Sometimes with ANC headphones, but more often with IEMs, or my AAP2.
Background music helps me focus on what I’m doing.
At work is also where I detect differences between IEMs: all of sudden, something catches my *ears*, and I play that back several times to figure out what it is…

It also means, I don’t care much about the words and what they say.

I typically browse Facebook or Reddit. I also read books/manga while I play a fitting playlist for the kind of book I'm reading. If I'm reading an action novel, I'll play songs or bgm that fits the action scene, or something relaxing for well chill novels.

My listening comes in two flavors, both at home.

Portables: on the lanai, enjoying that truly magical view (and whales from Dec - Apr!).
Desktop: in season mostly AFL footy, out of season mostly old school rassling. If neither then probably a HOPA game.

Pure audio wins easily indoors... But for sheer joy the balcony and a BTR7 (at 10% of the cost) triumphs every time. This hobby has helped me fall in love with music all over again... But throw a passing humpback in too? No amount of tubes or fancy PSU's can elevate your experience to those highs x
