Don't worry folks, back then it wasn't licensed in the USA! Oh, and the music was cheesy techno lol. Lost Weekend #2 - BECK. The whole darn thing. 13+ hours. Damn that was a good one. Hmm, I guess this involved music too since it was about an up and coming band. Actually enjoyed the music, and they referenced Joy Division and New Order in there, cool.

Which headphones we're you using Jahn on that 15 hour marathon?

being a college student, AND an avid gamer, 12hr+ sessions have happened many times. The best cans for that were my old DT990 Pro. I've still never felt a more comfortable headphone, they cannot be beat.

over 12 if you count guild wars music

Ety ER4S, custom molds, LAX - Papeete, Tahiti. 9 hours.

I ALWAYS have my headphones on. I even play music when I sleep. Music is me.

But if my headphones are not glued on my head, i'm playing music in my head I think the longeest would easily be 8 hours or more.

One night last semester I decided not to sleep and just stay on my computer all night (Don't ask why, I don't know.) and I thought, "Hey, my headphones will suit this nicely. At that point, I had only my eH150's to rely on, so I began my listening experience at approximately 8 o'clock that evening. About 12 I stopped for about five minutes for some snacks and a bathroom break, then it was straight back to work. I ended up, with maybe two drink breaks and a snack break, forging through to 8:30 am, then I had to get ready for class. It was one heck of a night.

Easily over 12 hours. In grad school, I would often have all day study sessions on the weekends (12-14 hours). A lot of the work was rereading materials and transcribing notes. When doing this, I would listen to my headphones all day (very, very low volume). For close reading -- that is, reading something for the first time -- I need absolute silence. But going back over the materials or taking notes from it, I actually need some background noise or I start to space out. Also at my present job, which doesn't require that much concentration, I usually listen to my headphones all day as well (8-10 hours with breaks).

So I use my headphones a lot!!!

Fourteen hours for a "re-discover my CDs collection" right after I got my MS2i.

...yeah; with bowls.

There were a couple of bathroom breaks, but I had the kids bring me my coffee!!

...which led to a couple more bathroom breaks.

Finally the kids just got tired and brought me a fresh pot.

....no; it wasn't bad, really.

...no; the coffee.

 

[Netminder]

17hours on international flights

Noticing the general consensus of those who work/study alot uses headphones alot more and on a much more regular basis. Although 17 hours on Netminder's part is epic O.o

wow...loving kids. They didn't just tell you to take your cd-player and yourself with the coffee straight to the can and take it over for the next however long?

i'd say the most would be about 3 hrs; just commuting in and around downtown. i can't imagine listening via headphones for >12 hrs...

 

[Little J040]

8 or so hours.... playing world of warcraft... the devil on earth.

 

[TheDarkTrumpet]

About like me...I get most of my listening time in while playing WoW (although not to the game).

I don't know what my max is, but with the DT880s, I've never felt pain wearing the headphones. A lot of times i'll take off my headphones for a bit to let the air get to the inside of my ears. Closed headphones, most of the time, make the inside of my ear sweat a lot.

 

[goorackerelite]

not to be a buzz kill or anything, but how do you guys listen to headphones for 12+ hours at a time. My ears start ringing after 2 hours even at low volumes with my sennhesier hd580s or beyerdynamic dt880s!!! is there a seceret prolonging method that I don't know about?

 

[LuckyKarma]

About 4 hours when I was cramming for my accounting final last semester, with the velour pads on the V6s my ears were more than up for the task

I can't imagine listening to headphones for >6 hours at once
