What's the profile of a headphone devotee?
Wes Philips of stereophile, etc, is an audiophile to be sure, and a musician, and yet he'll chose to use
senn hd600's; equinox cable, x-can v3

Other folks have a portable player and a custom set of IEM's and that's their main audio joy

For other folks, perhaps like myself, this is both the most affordable and practical way to hear high-quality audio, via something like wes philip's or simiar rig: even if there were an option to multiply by 10 and get the same quality stereo, living circumstances predicate against turning up the volume the speakers deserve.
So, why do you choose headphones? when?
If you have a stellar stereo, why and when cans?
Do you only wear them on the go, in the office, in transit?
Whether you are here because you're looking for a good recommendation on how to spend a few quid for ipod replacement earpieces, or are dipping in here because you are a headphones devotee, and are questing after the next cable upgrade, or better tubes for your headphone amp, where and why do headphones fit into your audio life?
looking forward to your stories.
