home: random, but mostly the electrostats (sigma and float) since they are always hooked up to my computer.

portable: ergo2 or PMB 85

currently, the portable rig is being used a lot more than my home rig though

For the rockier side of things I usually listen with MS2i. For the classier side; the HD600. But that's a generalization. Sometimes I swap, sometimes they overlap. Sometimes I swap phones mid CD!

For computer stuff and Guitar Practice it's the MS-1.

My Wife is on her third mp3 player, but she's still using my same ol' KSC75s.

K701's most of the time, especially when the detail in the music makes it most enjoyable.

Quart 55X when the headband of the K701 annoys me.

UE10 triple.fi's when I want some thumping base or, of course, when I'm on the go.

Same here.
When I realize that I have not used a 'phone for more than a week, I'll swap and use that instead. After all, variety is the spice of life.
