I'm wondering if I'm abnormal here and appreciate all responses. Also if there's already a 200-reply thread on this please let me know and I'll go away.
I spend some of my time listening at very low volume at the office, but most of my listening time at home is spent lying on my couch soaking up the sounds at slightly higher volume. I'd say it's 60% upright in an office chair and 30% lying down on a couch with 10% spent lying down on a bed.
In fact, I've hesitated on pulling the trigger on HiFiMan HE-500s because of concerns that they're incompatible with lying down due to the size of the earcups.
Am I alone in my concerns over cup size in headphones? How do you spend most of your time with non-IEM headphones on?
