I work as a paralegal, have my own office, and can wear headphones pretty much all day if I choose to do so. Of course, I'm periodically removing them to answer the phone, converse with co-workers, etcetera, but once those things are done, headphones can go right back on.
Sometimes I go this route, but normally I opt for the desktop speakers, as I oftentimes get tired of removing the headphones or IEMs on a regular basis. But I have that option now. My previous job, zero music time unless it was very, very quiet as background only.
I think over on head-fi the folks asking for recommendations are looking to get a quality audio headphone rig at their offices so as not to bother their co-worker. I doubt their surfing the net all day long listening to music on their employer's dime.
And I disagree 100% with previous posters about the community at large over at head-fi. I think for the most part they're an energetic group of audiophiles who are excited about their equipment and music and share that excitement with others. Granted, a few are total boneheads. But we've got those here, too, no?
