When and where do you do most of your listening, and on what?

[Robinjwa]

My favourites are

• In bed on a weekend morning, on IEMs with mojo/poly - small form factor best for lying down and having things strewn over the duvet!
• Doing chores in the evening while my child sleeps, using open back headphones - I like to be able to hear what’s going on around me in case of any cry outs for “daddy”!
• Whilst walking through a city on TWS - noise cancelation in that environment is just amazing and far more important than sound quality
• Walking in nature with IEMs and a DAP - such a buzz to have good music, beautiful surroundings, and be moving your body. Plus DAP means no phone distractions

What about you?

Mine are:

• In bed in the evening on weekdays, relaxing from a long day of work.
• On the train during my commute to and from work.
• At work when I’m not doing anything too mentally taxing (but those listening sessions don’t usually last very long).

I own a few DAPs but I’ve found that streaming from my phone connected to an iFi GO Blu is the most convenient setup. I choose different IEMs based on my mood and the music I want to listen to, so often travel to work with 2-3 pairs of IEMs in my bag.

Nice. Convenience often so important to focusing on the music. I frequently let perfect be the the enemy of good

How are the Buchardts?

 

[silentdisko]

They're really great. Had them for a good while now. Highly recommended.

Thanks to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis I spend all day/every day sat/lying in my recliner front of these, I do have iem’s/headphones as in signature but i hardly ever listen to them as I’m fortunate to live alone with no neighbours in the countryside so get to listen as loud as I want, whenever I want, for as long as I like, there’s an upside to everything I guess
