25% Reddit scrolling, 25% searching and learning more about the artist like you mention, and 50% of the time brooding in silence enjoying the tunes haha.

Lights off at night and listening in the dark is the best IMO

Ah yes listening in the dark is best. Only bad part is that I always fall asleep before l'd like to

Try ASMR at night, it's godlike sometimes. Especially if your room/window/etc. doesn't allow in external noises easily.

Here's some videos/channels for ASMR triggers: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/xqq9kw/can_a_normal_person_hear_binaural_sound_when/iqcayk9/

Btw the Neumann KU 100 microphone (costs like ~$10 000+) got sent to a lot of Youtubers and now some ASMRtists and VTubers are using them regularly as they got their own, lol.

Listening in the dark is awesome. It makes you hear things better for real!

Everything sounds more detailed when you lie in bed with IEM's in trying to go to sleep somehow.

I think hearing is more sensitive at night. I lower my volume substantially at night as normal volumes are quite uncomfortable.

I definitely notice that as well. Depending on the DAP/IEM combo, i need to turn it down 10-20% from the setting I had during the day.

Shit I'm dumb. I haven't listened to Fort Minor in years- but time to change that. I wonder how it scales with better audio equipment.

I find it hard to do work without music. I like having something to jam to while getting shit done.

I'm the exact opposite- I can't work and listen to music as it distracts me too much.

(Spicy take inbound) People listen to music too much. Now before you burn me at the stake, listening to music is a dopaminergic activity. Meaning it causes your brain to release dopamine. You get acclimated to these activities and your perceived response lessens. That's why when you go a day or two without music, it hits harder (at least that's my experience).

Yeah same. I can't work on stuff and listen to music at the same time. Either the work distracts me from the music, or the music distracts me from the work. Same with exercise. Can't listen to music while exercising because it distracts me too much.
Music gets its own time slot in my day.

My exact philosophy.

And hello fellow psychopath that works out without music! I get some funny looks when I tell people I workout without any music. It makes your mind go to a cool place when you're deep into a lifting or cardio session with nothing but the task at hand to focus on and complete.

I did that for a long time, but the gym always had shit music playing so I it's better to hear music you like while working out.
