There's a few ways that I think are really good...
Walkman/ cassette player/ MP3 on the bus (especially good for homemade compilations).
At night in the (near) darkness, in the lounge, on vinyl and getting totally into it. (best for an album experience)
Compact disc or tape in cars and used as driving music. (Anthrax and Ozzy sound great when the car speakers are bursting, it's dark, you're in the Scottish woodlands and you have the window right down with the rain pissing right into your face and hair everywhere as you scream 'CRY FOR THE INDIANS!!!'.)
Please note: In the third instance I was the passenger NOT the driver!

the best way (for me) is an audiophile hi-fi (B&W or Tannoy speakers, NAD elements) with some candles, a good single malt (preferrably speyside), or some good wine (but not getting drunk), maybe a Jama�can cigar, a good music handbook in the hands and loafing in my couch....
or with a slight alteration of speaker direction... loafing on the lawn under a walnut tree, but it won't be as loud.

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

I live in a student hostel so I can't listen to music with loudspeakers - I use this instead:
Sennheiser px200  In my parents house, in my room I have those: Tannoy M1  modest stuff, but I don't need anything better.

^ Those are quite the headphones! I have Sony, and I'm really happy with them, but I tried the Bose ones once in a Best Buy, and they completely blew me away!

Shit man! You have no idea how lucky you are! School here in Italy is pretty damn hard, and almost everyday I have to study till late at night! I never even have time for 1 album a day! Anyway, I like listening to music in my room in the dark, just like others said. Otherwise, when I go out for a walk with my dog, I put on my gigantic headphones ( the main reason why people that pass by stare at me), and enjoy.

I like variety. That is the whole reason why I enjoy Hard n Heavy in the first place. On a recording Grindcore may be followed by doom metal which is followed by AOR. For example, right now I am listening to Hammerfall's Dragon Lies Bleeding while before that I listened to Tristania's Aphelion. After Hammerfall will be Helloween's Hell Was Made in Heaven.
There are many Metal Operas such as Avantasia, Aina, or Ayreon, but I wish a metal opera which combines different sub-genres of metal. Like an inter-genre metal opera which include death metal, grindcore, happy metal, and nu-metal.

I like listening to music when I'm lying in bed, right before I go to sleep. It's the most relaxing part of the day.
My least favorite way of listening to music? REALLY LOUD!!!!! Usually this comes in the context of a party or club setting, where the music should be secondary and social interaction/conversation should be more important. I hate having to shout over something to make my voice heard. |

Yeah, there's not much thought involved in packing car parts into cardboard boxes, it gives plenty of time to concentrate on the music
That's the only thing I miss from that place, it really was awesome at times. Now I'm giving the new Tartar Lamb its first listen, lying on the couch with a cup of coffee, this is nice as well  |

That sounds AWESOME! Unfortunately, I don't get to hear any music from 7:25 AM -3:00 PM on weekdays. I usually am able to listen to 1 full album on the bus ride, but it really does suck that most days I have such limited listening time. Some days I only get to hear 3 or 4 albums.  |

This. I also do a lot of listening while washing dishes, we usually spin an album every day while my fiancee cooks and I wash. I can't remember the last time I've put on an album, sat down and just listened. Seems I don't have so much time for that anymore, but the bus/train listening is pretty deep sometimes. I kind of miss the days when I worked in a warehouse and was able to really listen to about ten albums a day.

One of my favourite, though also depending on the music, ways of listening to music is walking in nature. There are three nearby forests that have provided lots of great memories, but I haven't had the time or energy to do this in a while, jobs and gym 'destroy' my legs enough already.
The other ideal way is listening to a vinyl on a quiet day in this room, no hurries anywhere, perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea, not to forget the lyrics if available. Nighttime listening is quite perfect too when going to sleep. This doesn't happen often though, I bet my GF would be pretty annoyed by the music I'd want to listen to via the stereos when sleeping, haha... Most often I listen to music when I'm on computer browsing the net, unfortunately. I rarely put physical CDs on stereo because I've ripped my CDs as FLAC to computer, and computer is more handy. Cassettes and vinyls I prefer to listen to through real players though. |

Ahh Steve...you lucky bastard. I used to have a really good stereo too, but we now live in a very small apartment. Four people crammed into 82 m2, so my big speakers had to go.

I'm an audiophile. (no surprise there)
As soon as my missus is out for the evening I'm in the living room listening to metal with a pack of beers, a bottle of whisky and a bag of peanuts.
The finish is piano black as in the first image and the bass alone pushes over 1000 watts.
Luckily we are detached and in any case I'm bigger than the neighbours
Wouldn't you...?

I love the few times the kids let my use my stereo for something else than kid�s music. Damn it! It�s my stereo
I mostly listen to music while driving in my car to and from work and while doing the dishes
 . In addition to that I usually spend at least an hour listening to music on my ipod before going to sleep. Hanging out the laundry is also a time when I listen to music or grocery shopping. I wonder what the nice lady behind the counter would think if she knew I was listening to songs like "Hammer Smashed Face" and "I Cum Blood". |

Except for the forest part (I'm normally on my porch) this is like exactly the same as me. Even the poetry part!
