May be a dumb question but how do you actually listen to music? Do you listen while doing something else? Do you set aside time to just sit and listen? Really dive deep into your routine if you have one.
I’ve recently got my first hi-fi setup- Audeze LCD-X + Munich M1 but all I do is listen while I work, so looking for inspiration.
I put my headphones on. go into the bathroom and get bottomless. sit on the edge of the bathtub and put one foot on the wall so my legs are spread eagle, then that’s when I press play on the headphones start my music and proceed to wax my butthole. yeah I have a problem with hair on my body.
I tend to listen to music whilst working, travelling, tidying/cleaning, eating, gaming (with the right game that is) even when showering!
I love having different playlists to suit my setting/mood/the task I’m doing etc.
I did notice recently when going to see Matthew Halsall live that I had listened to his newest album mainly whilst doing other things, and not just putting time to one side to sit and listen to music… like I used to a lot more than I have recently… It was nice just focusing in and listening to the songs, but in a live setting.
Live performances on YouTube through TV speakers while I sit on the couch and get work done on my laptop
IEM’s while I walk my dog
Headphones are set up at my bedside, either listen while working on my laptop or I’ll close the laptop and just listen to music before going to sleep.
Work, driving, gym, doing dishes, in the shower, seriously just about whenever I can. Keeps me sane.
While washing my dishes I put my phone in a big metal bowl to reflect the sound.
I listen to music at my PC or while walking. If I’m out of the house I’m listening to music. Sometimes I’ll just sit and listen.
Get IEMs so you can have it outside. I doubt you’re taking your LCD outside.
I usually only wear headphones when playing games, because I think wearing headphones to play games can help me better enjoy the joy of the game, and better experience the game’s kill sound effects, background music, etc.
IEM’s when going out. Headphones when I’m home. When i’m bored I always like to listen to “3d” videos like Barber Shop and Soundblaster’s Demo. Watch this scene from Tron, listen to Sail by Awolnation for that arousing bass and London Grammar’s Intro for the lovely vocals and violins.
My main headphone setup is close to my desk, I listen mainly when the kids are asleep and chores are done, and while I play some StarCraft II, Anno 1404 or other building type game
Always listening to music wherever and whenever possible. I just connect my headphones to my phone via BT and play youtube mp3 rips from my phone because my phone’s headphone jack is faulty and I am a poser in terms of audiophiles
Most of mine is done while at work, just passively
I download maybe 10-30 albums every week or so and try to listen to all of them whenever I have the time to do so. The last one I listened to fully was Geek The Girl.
Music listening as much as possible
hifi music to unwind/chill, gaming, surfing the web
wireless for gym/workouts, errands, household chores, traveling
IEM’s when sleeping, and to also give myself a rest from using the headphones
