Jabra Elite 85t wireless earbuds when I’m out and about, noise cancelling Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones when I’m in the office/library/when my partner is WFH taking meetings, wired AKG K52 studio monitor headphones if I don’t want to disturb my partner when listening to vinyl or other high fidelity music- otherwise it goes through my Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers.
