I think high quality headphones can be fine to listen to, and some can compete with high quality speakers.

As for what I do whilst listening to music, it changes from time to time: I might be on my computer, with friends, going to sleep (nice jazz is perfect for this), travelling on the train or just lying down, solely listening to the music. It all depends.

Currently listening to albums from 2012 to stay 'up-to-date' with culture, as well as 'classic' electronic and indie albums, the additional hip hop record here and there, as well as my collection of comedy albums, from Louie C.K. to Bill Cosby.
I played around with my computer and made this ambient music piece, check it out if you can: https://soundcloud.com/finnssoundclo...e-and-death-of
