I use a set of Skullcandy in-ears at the office, as I work with videos and audio a bit, so it's required. If I'm just writing, I listen to music. These are comfortable and they were cheap enough that I don't mind just sticking them in a little baggy until the next time I need them.

Working from home I use my Razer Tiamat 2.2 headset. It's heavy, but it works. I use it because I have it, and that's it.

Because we're in a production factory, we have a safety rule that we are not allowed to make use of headphones while working. The reasoning behind that is that you should at all times be able to hear any site emergency warnings that is given over the PA systems throughout the factory.

Nope. never could. Besides how do I chime in on other convo's , eavesdrop, or hear ambient sounds with headphones.

That's a serious headphone addiction you have there! At least its quite varied.

Was thinking maybe I should get a nice pair of open backs as a contrast to my Custom One pros (dt 770 without the beyer treble) - but now I'm scared I'll end up like you :cool:

...actually I'm just jealous.

But yes, wear headphones all the time even though I work from home. Not to cut distractions so much as I just love music.
 
Now that the clever management decided that we must go back to the office, I have no other option to wear headphones (to think) because the office is noisy and people disrespectful. At the office I wear some headphones I got with a phone and at home I use Steelseries Arctis 7.
 
We communicate a lot via teams, I have a pair of Jabra headphones both at work and at home.

I also have a pair of noise cancelling headphones for attending noisy events.

Struggle to concentrate while wearing headphones and listening to music. But really struggle to concentrate with other people talking nonsense, etc. in the office. Headphones win.
