A fun and somewhat weird thread based on my curiosity. I try to listen to them everyday. They probably get around 3 hours of use a day on average ranging from music, videogames, movies and television. On the weekends they tend to work overtime . All in all I try to make any excuse for myself to put them on.

I treat it like a job, so at least 8 hours a day. Ha ha. Maybe not quite that much, but I'd probably be surprised. If I didn't have Audiobytes, the figure would be drastically reduced. My main system still usually gets a couple of hours a day, with more on weekends.

Ever seen those wierd fish that live in caves or at great depths? Sometimes I feel as though I will end up like them. At least 4 hours a day - 8 or so on weekends.

5-6 hours a night, Monday-Friday. Basically from as soon as one of us gets home until 11 or midnight when we go to bed. If it's a lazy, stay-at-home winter weekend, our system is likely to be on for 6 to 10 hours each day. Much less as the weather warms up and we do more outdoor stuff.

If we're not watching TV or a movie, we're listening to music. Thought that time is not just sitting in front of the TV. Even if we're elsewhere in the house, it's likely that the system will be on anyway providing background music.

But if you want to talk about critical listening - those times when we're really just sitting and listening to music - I'd say 3-4 hours per week.

I would guestimate about 4 hrs per day, about half for TV and the other half split between music and movies.


Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

I would love to listen to my Axioms every day, but it is a little difficult with work, family, kids, and home ownership. I would say we watch about 4-5 movies a week, most of them on weekends. My kids love the theater, so we watch a lot of family type movies, however, I get my share of the movies I like and throwing back a few barley pops. \:\)

For music, I'm usually cranking up the tunes when chatting on the Axiom forums, on my big screen. I guess they call that multi tasking. Since the family is often home, I don't get to crank things up as loud as I would like, but when they are gone, I let things rip...I probably average about an hour a day with music listening.

I listen to them all day when I'm up, music constantly playing throughout the house. I don't work, and prior to three weeks ago I was only up maybe one day every couple of weeks for at least a year if I was lucky. Now things are looking up (touch wood) and I've been up every day for the past three weeks, hence my somewhat disappearance from the forum. So they're playing from 10AM-5PM, and, well, it is a beautiful thing!!

Almost every day at some point or another in our household.

Forgive me for I have sinned. It has been 14 days since my last movie...

I use mine every day as they are the main speakers in the apartment and I listen to the radio a lot.

I was watching 1-2 movies a week for a while, but I am all caught up on the good movies with lfe.

Critical listening varies from nothing to 3 hours a day depending on my mood.
