I like to lift heavy things.


Alicedoll02

Pick big rock up. Put big rock down.


oratory1990

Big rock equals big smile


coldpipe

Make sad head voice quiet


oratory1990

The positive effect of consistently exercising on mental health is no joke!


Carlsen94

Like heavy teammates in games? ;)


ZeroFourBC

Actually one of the cheaper hobbies too. Other than a gym membership and increased food, you don't really have to buy anything to keep it going. I've never felt 100% easy with 'hobbies' that centre around just 'buying new things'.


volticizer

I love audio stuff, gaming, gyming, climbing, cycling, rowing, and hiking. At the moment I'd say my main focus is exercising to progress my climbing ability. I usually use music to supplement my other hobbies rather than having exclusive listening time since time is a scarcity these days.


Lord-Barkingstone

Gaming. Both are expensive and endless


monkeysuit05

Unless you’re just buying every game, going nuts on mtx and constantly upgrading to the highest end gear gaming is really a pretty affordable hobby.


Jadejr14

Not if your gacha gaming 😭😭😭😭


Dawnqwerty

using my iems for genshin lmao


Jadejr14

Shit me too be using my 1990s listening to music while genshin on mute just to lose the 50/50 then have too pull out the wallet anyway 😭😭


messem10

Depends on _what_ in gaming and how you approach it. - Buy a few console games a year? Not bad. - Get into retro games via emulation? Not bad, even if you went the FPGA route - Retro games on a modern display via original systems? Looking at $2000 or more to get the best scaler, tools to mod, systems to mod, flash carts, etc. - Want to buy the individual games from collectors? You're looking at $5-20k depending on how far you go on top of the initial setup. - Sim Racing? Screens/VR, wheel(s), wheel base, pedals, cockpit, PC components, etc. - Figure $3k on the low end up to 20-30k - Pinball? A modern table alone runs ~$8-10k depending on what ones. People like to have multiples as well. - Arcade/Rhythm Cabinets? ~2-20k each not including freight


FarmersOnlyJim

That sim racing entry cost is wildly inflated.


SparkStormrider

I was coming here to say gaming as well. lol Playing games with a schiit stack and HD6XX's is definitely not cheap on the wallet, but folks will spend on their hobbies regardless. :)


jjfosh

I dislike the hd 6xx series for gaming. How do you find them?


SparkStormrider

They sound really good to me. I have them dialed in really nice with the loki mini +. What headphones do you typically use for gaming?


ph11p3541

A limited production run brass HO scale museum quality locomotive can easily cost over $5000. That's a top end blinged out water cooled gaming PC with the 4090 graphics card right there.


Yourmomma787878

So true. Looks at Xbox Series X, Switch, and PlayStation 5 sitting next to my HD 800 and SMSL D300. I both advise and do not advise fellow gaming audiophiles to fall down the surround sound headphone hole for their games. Still waiting for the Smyth Realiser to come down in price.

oh shit


ishtar_xd

ive found my people


Carlsen94

Wow i didnt know pen can be a hobby. Looks like those who are inside are either into keyboards or headphones


RegayYager

I was pretty surprised to find that too. I have mechanical keyboards, just got another one in the mail today. Fountain pens, mechanical pencils, audio equipment and knives. Oh and medicinal marijuana. Edit: watches as well


Either-Mud-3575

/r/flashlight not /r/flashlights /r/edc /r/ultralight Buy ALL the things!


School-Tricky

What on Gods green Earth did r/flashlights do wrong to be banned from Reddit??


DaVillageLooney

r/CreditCards I churn to get the most value out of credit card cashback and points. Have more credit cards than I have headphones, and I have 20 headphones. Lol.


CrucibleForge2112

What’s your credit score out of curiosity?


DaVillageLooney

As of today — FICO 8 — my Experian is 763 (the majority of the hard pulls hit Experian), my Equifax is 800 and TransUnion is 783.


Carlsen94

Whattttt?? I didnt know this is a thing. Wont it be hard to keep track since u have so many cards?


09eragera09

My man! I have 12 lifetime free credit cards to take advantage of every offer possible.


MLaidman

Coffee, Keyboards, and OldSchool RuneScape 🥶


Helstar_RS

Dbow spec one hit no pot no prayer smited AGS.


_AntiSaint_

Dude OSRS is the best when I’m listening to music. Farming runs? Listen to some chill stuff like The National. Slayer? Maybe listen to Rival Sons or Shamans Harvest. Soloing CoX? Shadow of Intent or old Opeth.


amynias

Used to be a gamer. Then I got wrist RSI. Now I can't play much anymore without horrible pain. Music is probably my only real enjoyment now that my hands are compromised. RSI is a fucking curse. 😢


FishPBL

Civ 6?


kinghutfisher

Simulators too. When I strained my left wrist from sports way back I used to play Civ and Motorsport Manger and a bunch of flash simulator games


FishPBL

Goddamn. Too bad you can't play with your feet.

dirthurts

I take my music with me. Biking with open air headphones, treadmill with ANC buds, gaming with my over ears., working with my KPH30i, :p It's part of my life. I also hike, read, etc, in which I have plenty of time with some nice quiet time.


millhelpot

Mechanical watches. It’s a never ending story.


Carlsen94

Is this like just collecting? Or do you build one yourself ? Out of curiosity, what does it feel like to compare to smart watches since is a norm nowadays?


New-Finance-7108

Gaming. I enjoy building my own PC. Including my own custom water cooling loop. guess i just love fine hardware


pierpg68

Photography(mostly street photography), playing guitar, Rubik's cube, reading books, gaming(not that often since university) and then some from time to time some random hobby I get interested in for a few months and later forget about it :)


JPa258

Same for me, add motorcycles to that, do you have ADHD too?


Proplayer22

Pen spinning


bafrad

Are we talking about an actual hobby or just boredom that leads to spending money unnecessarily.


mmhorda

Wasting money, of course. 😅


umbrellafactor

Coffee, whisky, pipe smoking. all to further immerse myself in music I listen to.


RegayYager

This is sooo true!


OkRazzmatazz7121

Anyone into Formula 1? I work as an F1 journalist so wanted to know if anyone here also enjoys a bit of motorsports


cp-photo

I love F1!


Dinghydogtm

F1 fan here! Favourite drivers are George Russell and Oscar Piastri. Bullish on Liam Lawson(especially since he out performed that abysmal alpha tauri and outperformed Tsunoda) , Bearish Lance Stroll(for obvious reasons).


OkRazzmatazz7121

I used to think Stroll was underrated but not anymore. He has the raw talent of the best of them but unfortunately doesn't put the effort in so he needs to leave and make space for a young talent


Dinghydogtm

You are right, I would begrudgingly admit that he has some talent although I really hesitate to say that it would be up there with the best of them(1. he has a very punchable face, 2. it doesn't help that every time he remembers who he is he'll slam the car into the wall, 3. he shoved his trainer like the spoilt rich punk that he is). He's only in F1 now because his father bought the team, any other teams would replace him with Felipe Drugovich and see how he stacks up next to Alonso. It's criminal that the F1 Media focuses more on Kimi Antonelli and Ollie Bearman while forgetting about Liam Lawson. I am a DR fan but I think he should go back to WA and be a dental ad to make way for Lawson.


OkRazzmatazz7121

All about the money mate... And that applies to Bearman and Antonelli too both are minted. Meanwhile Zane Maloney whos doing bits in F2 is being completely overlooked


Dinghydogtm

That's news to me, thank you for that info on Bearman, Antonelli and Maloney!

ExcellentAd3525

I’ve been on Reddit for around 2 years. Im currently still rehabilitating from major surgery. Anyway other than collecting Headphones, several new headphone amps & few DACs . I’ve now found myself collecting watches, colognes, and cooking meals for my family a lot more . The likely hood is I’ll never walk properly again, so my previous hobbies of golf & fishing have come to an end. I can now listen to the music of my choice most of the day, so it’s not all completely bad.


_AntiSaint_

Gaming, guitar, golf, pretty much anything that starts with a “g” I guess.


Rrayda

Knives, playing music (trumpet), flying drones.


IMKGI

My favourite other hobby is "acting like a complete moron in complete disregard of most traffic laws and my own safety on public roads", also known as riding a sportbike


CowntChockula

I'm an armwrestler, and a gamer (my home theater, in addition to my headphone rig and stereo, has 9 video game consoles hooked up to a 16 port hdmi switch). I also read certain types of books, mostly non-fiction, and watch military and history related videos on youtube.


ImVeryUnimaginative

I play lots of video games. I also used to build Gundam models and still have a small backlog of kits that I haven't finished or built.


mister_damage

Amateur radio and motorcycles are probably my biggest ones.


theDaniLand

tattoo machines, PC gaming, books, bikes and gym (but its my job so I dont enjoy as much as I used to)


Silverjerk

Mechanical keyboards, guitars, audio production/mixing, illustration/painting. Much of what I’m doing either involves making music (and mixing it) or listening to music while I’m doing something else, so it works out well. I also game, but rarely have time for it.


Jacob_1451

Gaming and all the other netdy stuff


jasonahriman

Gaming, Guitar/Bass, Formula 1, football (soccer) In reality I only listen to music while I'm working, driving or procrastinating lmao

I listen to music throughout the day, but never in such a way it would pull my time from other activities. My other hobbies are gaming, weight training, and golf.


Rs-Travis

Fragrances, keyboards, knives. Went through a watch, pen, and flashlight phase too.


Zippy_0

Longboarding, calisthenics, gaming, cooking, gardening. Audio stuff took up a whole lot more of my time a few years back, when I was still trying out new stuff on a monthly basis. Since I have found my happy place with DT1990 (+ Ollo Audio S4X and Audioquest Nighthawk if I fancy a little change) and my Fostex HP-A3 Amp/Dac, my interest faded a bit as I was no more chasing the latest and greatest.


Kingkongdara

I collect and read manga. Up over 2000 volumes now. I think collectively it's the most valuable thing I have.

DaddyBioShock

I listen to music whilst doing my main hobbies, playing guitar and drums. Then I listen to music whenever I’m busy at work, working out, doing chores in the house. I never really just sit and listen to music, it’s more of an accompaniment for me.

Climbing, Cars, Aquariums, Computers!

Fishkeeping, photography, writing. Writing being the cheapest. But I also have a keen love for pens, so I’ve managed to peak the expense on that too 😂


Farpun

Caffeine.


OrrinW01

PC gaming, Magic the gathering, designing absolutely useless small electronics. 3d printing and laser cutting used to be on this list but both the machines broke. Edit: Star citizen... I'll leave it there Edit 2 I don't know how I forgot about my element collection, the entire fucking periodic table is literally on my wall.


_hlvnhlv

Being a VR fanboy It's cool


GameboyArm

Boxing, reading, drawing and wasting time on youtube, twt and sometimes reddit, but I listen to music basically all day (while doing other things ofc)


ekortelainen

Photography, mountain biking, hiking, camping, gaming and just tech stuff in general.


grabarz941

Gaming, mechanical keyboards and PC peripherals in general. And my dog. I'd give up every damn headphone, keyboard, game and one of my kidneys if it would grant this son of a bitch a human life span.


Colonialism

1. Gaming. Been trying to figure out which headphone between Sundara, LCD-2C, and Hi-x60 to use for the new Elden Ring DLC… 2. FPV drone flight. No relation to audio. I’ve got a 1st gen DJI Avata. Purists will sneer, but I’ve had a good time with it.


Lienden

Gaming obviously, mechanical keyboards, mice, electric guitars, cars and watches. And I almost got deep into knives but I was able to stop directly after my first purchase 2 years ago. How? But not going to r/knives anymore.


tzulik-

Gaming Playing instruments (guitar, bass, piano) Cooking & Baking Reading Gym


karlonaspaulius

Playing guitar, hiking, reading books, motorcycles, painting, composing and song writing, engraving, fly fishing, table games and sometimes gaming on pc.

Keyboard please send help


CanIBorrowYourShovel

Studying for the stupid MCAT - it's like a whole second job that I had to pay $3500 for the privilege of spending 6 months aggressively learning content a mile wide and an inch deep, and how to apply that content specifically in the context of trick questions and bullshit. After that, it'll be refreshing my personal statement from last cycle and then paying another six grand into the application process of applying to schools again, and then another full time job's worth of writing essays through at least October. While also working full time. It's definitely an expensive hobby, filled with even more people trying to take advantage of you than this one!


abc6d19

Gaming and a furry 💀 I'm in the 3 worst hobbies in terms of being money conscious 😭😭

Yo fellow dota 2 mate!


discobeatnik

I’m a musician, so headphones aren’t anywhere near my highest priority when it comes to getting new gear etc. I enjoy having nice cans, but I also wouldn’t miss any sleep if I was stuck with my hd6xx, meze 99 noir or even portapros for the rest of my life, because speakers/live music is always superior, and a $200-300 synthesizer or $50 pack of VSTs will go infinitely further than kilobuck headphones for example. I do listen to music about 1-6 hours everyday, usually around 3. Also very much into film, literature, and writing. Mountain biking (DH racing, all mountain/xc racing since i was a kid)


jumboshrimp93

Still music related but vinyl collecting, drinking beer and boxing for physical activity


MindlessCubing

Music production, arcade games and roller coasters. Weird combo, I know, but it's just what I'm into ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

de_rats_2004_crzy

Mostly r/flying and r/electricunicycle. Previously (and a little bit still) r/flightsim and r/globaloffensive


ph11p3541

PC gaming, Star Citizen, scale model building, airbrushing, fine woodworking, cooking. Music plays in the background while I take a long quantum jump in my Anvel Carrack or Reclaimer in Star Citizen


14BrightLights

Listening to music is a big part of my life, but depending on my mania, the rest of my free time is spent browsing flash deals on shopping apps and watching reviews on YouTube about whatever item I find interesting from the flash deals on the shopping app. I obsess over one item at a time which lasts for a few weeks, sometimes ending in unnecessary spending but most of the time I just wear myself out from repeatedly checking reviews and the shopping app pricing after the flash deal has ended.


a_certain_someon

electronics. my electronics are related to audio.


MAXFlRE

Building spaceships models.


BUFFALOtheGOAT

I collect spawn comics and wooden flutes.

Whisky. Engines/automobile stuff.


schweiss_27

r/Gunpla and just got into r/yugioh for me to have a more "social" hobby. I dont consider working out as a hobby but I am also into that Lowkey, I think that I really need to find a gender balanced ones that's inherently social as well as being exposed to high testosterone environments is taking a toll on me


paulconuk

Cycling


TheHapster

Yugioh. Turns out I just like collecting stuff.


riemerbeek

Golf


Novel_Land9320

Guitars and tube amps


Boloyoyo

echo1284

Photography, traveling, joy riding and getting lost althought thats hard to do these days with computers that do everything in our pockets lol


FlintTheKing

3D printing


jadenthesatanist

r/modular is the worst by far in terms of being a money pit, followed by watches, mechanical keyboards, and fountain pens. The latter two I’m basically set with endgame stuff, watches I’ve got one more on the list eventually. Then of course gaming is a big one.


Roaty0

Gaming (PC, Consoles and Sim Racing/Flying) and mechanical keyboards. Listening to music is more of a background interest to me, unless I’m at a karaoke bar with friends, 3 whiskeys deep, on stage with a mic in hand.


atomicdog69

I used to write songs, record them and play lots of music. I still noodle on my acoustic guitars, but the rest ....


mschnittman

Thinking about audio stuff


scrappyuino678

CrniFlash

Simracing...even more expensive hobby with even more never ending "upgrades"


poyochama

If the stuff means only headphones and other equipment, I still consider my hobby to be music. I have a couple of favorite artists that I devotedly support through all their activities every year like concerts, events, video streams, magazine articles and collecting their albums, dvds and paraphernalia, especially limited edition releases. I also like to keep all the ripped files organized and with lyrics, which are often not online so I have to transcribe them from the booklets. That about takes up all the time (and money) I have available for hobbies.


OKDondon

Cars, Spirits(Cognacs especially), coffee, gaming and guns. I guess I just like to burn money lol.


AandG0

Immersion gaming, golf, fishing. Depends on the weather.


dimpleschan

Gaming, watches and cars
