Usually zero, but over-the-ear headphones when practical. Your poll doesn't differentiate between in-canal earbuds, flat earbuds, or other.
might be worth specifying what sorts of headphones as it makes a massive difference. I find a couple of hours with over-the-ear headphones leaves me needing to clean/dewax my ears.

On the other hand I wear my bone conduction headphones for 15 hours a day or so... though obviously they're not coving my ears so it doesn't make much difference ;)

Recently bought and use and enjoy immensely the Aftershokz Aeropex. Great battery, clear voice and mic. Very impressed. I can also have headphones on for work at the same time, at a pinch.

Those are the ones I'm using. Bought a pair about 2 years ago and have worn them nearly all day, every day since (I put them on and take them off with my glasses).

The fact they can be worn all day without them getting in the way is amazing. I particularly like the fact I can put a pair of over-the-ear headphones on top of them or even a pair of ear defenders if I'm doing DIY.

Same here. I work with audio every day and that was a welcome unexpected bonus for me too.

> Type 1 - over-ear Type 2 - in-ear

What does that mean?

Either way I'm using over-ears, open-back so it's comfortable to wear for long durations.

Apologies. This isn't how I wanted the poll to manifest itself. I am quite sure I followed the poll guidelines, but it certainly didn't add the "type on/in ear" addition as it should have. Obviously they are meant to be two choices, separated by a line space. Moreover, every refresh of the poll page rearranges their order, is that meant to happen?
