Not the op but for me - Different headphones for different purposes.

For convenience and casual on the go listening, or to not annoy anybody, I'll use earbuds or light headphones.

If I really want to enjoy music I'll take the big ol' cans (circimaural open-back), lie back, and enjoy the music fully. Etc.

(And I'm extremely not an audiophile! But big roomy headphones are super comfy and sound super nice to me :).

If I'm on zoom calls all day I want something lightweight but with a boom microphone (massive Grrrr! To everybody joining meetings with airpods).

etc. I'm an extreme example but I have a few different boom-mic headsets in my home office for work, gaming headphones, running around headphones, and listening to music headphones. All of that at a teeny fraction of price people used to spend on basic entry level home hifi setup.
