How much do you listen to your hifi?

I just cant get it to post text to the start of a thread!

Anyway:

I read on another thread a suggestion that people don't actually sit down and listen to their hifi very much.

How often do you listen and for how long?

Not very much at the moment, most of my listening is to Spotify and that is on the computer sound system. When I get the facility to stream that through the hifi then it will change.

friday from 2pm till 6 and then my wife gets home and tells me turn it off.she dont like the best of barry white or rod

To put it in context, I am retired and live alone so have some freedom and I listen for about 2 hours in the morning and the same in the afternoon if I'm in. I also listen late at night on headphones when I get in from playing bridge, usually for maybe 1 hour.

Every day at least 3 hours at a time... admittedly some of the time I'm on the laptop, so not fully focused on the music.

As opposed to just hearing it?

 

[MikeToll]

I listen to everything through the hifi: television, blueray player, tuner, CD player (occasionly) and streamer. Because of that it is running about 3 or 4 hours a day. Actually doing nothing but listening to the music, as opposed to having it on as background while reading or browsing the internet, perhaps about an hour.

 

[chebby]

About 12 hours a day (I work from home) mostly with radio (FM or iPlayer) and sometimes a bit more in the evenings if something on TV (or a Blu-ray) merit playing the sound through it.

Music? Maybe an hour or two in any given week.

Sony MP3 player via Westone UM3x earphones for about 45 minutes per day.

Sony MP3 player via an X-Mini II portable speaker for about 6 hours per day.

PC via AVI Neutron 5 speakers for about 2 hours per day (3 hours per day if you include other media apart from music).

Obviously times will vary from day to day but this is about average for me.

 

[Electro]

Almost every day and as long as I can get away with

Even if there is something on the telly that I want to watch I often keep the music playing mute the TV and turn on the subtitles .

Music is like a drug to me and I am totally addicted , if I am not listening to music on my HiFi system then I am at a live music event or on spotify looking for new music in between reading and posting on HiFi forums .

I dread to think was this says about me :shifty:

 

[daveh75]

Depends on the definition of HiFi.

If you mean High Fidelity playback of recorded music, then it includes my inexpensive active PC setup, listening with headphones via my tablet and/or smartphone and my A/V system as they're all capable of it.

Then 10/12 hours day.

 

[hoopsontoast]

Every day, usually between 2 and 4 hours after work in the evening, depending if I stick a film on instead or watch tv at all.

Thats sitting down in front of the system, maybe a little browsing online as I listen.

 

[magnus78]

For me min 2-3 hrs per day.

 

[matthewpiano]

There isn't much pattern to my listening. On days off I generally listen for at least 3 hours when I can, but on working days I don't get home until after seven so there is usually only time for one or two CDs or LPs at the most. Some days I don't listen at all, particularly if I'm very tired or if there is something I want to watch. If we are watching a film I put the sound through the hi-fi so it does get used then.

 

[camcroft]

matthewpiano.You list budget Audioquest cables in your sig.Which ones are they.Cheers

 

[Ben K.]

When the other half is out mine is always on. I'd say an average of 10 hours a week but sometimes a lot more.

 

[MajorFubar]

Hmm there's no one answer.

Literally sat in front of the HiFi in my living-room downstairs, about four hours a week, though frequently it's on as 'background noise' for more than that.

In my computer-room upstairs, wearing Sennheiser RS180 headphones, easily 15 hours a week.

Listening to my iPhone while walking to-and-from work every day, about 5 hours a week.

Sorry it wasn't a simple answer!

 

[Baldrick1]

Mainly at the weekend and now with the new kit we seem to be listening to it more in the week...it is becoming a serious alternative to TV...especially when there is not much on. :clap:

 

[fr0g]

About 4 or 5 hours at the weekend on the adm9s, whilst on the PC.

Every day at work, Spotify through my E215s iems

Sometimes during the week on the HD595s or SRH440s depending which room I'm in, for anything between 30 mins and 3 hours.

plus many hours of TV and music through my TV based system Dali Ikon 6 /Vokal 2

When ever I feel like listening to some music.

Some days after driving around all day with work, and I've had some CDs on in the van, then I'm all "Music-ed" out, and then the last thing I want to do is listen to more when I come in the house.

[richardw42]

I don't.

PI just bought them to update my sig.

 

[char_lotte]

More than I should...easily a couple of hours a day when I'm home , more at weekends.

I have even been known to fall asleep after a night out in front of my hifi. Not very ladylike.
