As someone who's ears stick out at ten-to-three, I hate cup headphones. (Oh those horrid session in the Language Lab at school)

I like the lightweight infra-red Sony MDR-IF140 on-ear ones. Good for a couple of hours without discomfort

But working from home, and having just discovered Spotify is now free bar a few ads, I can have all sorts of 60s stuff bouncing my room, and the headphones are for early morning and late night when Mum might be asleep.
