If you attended any of the early CT Audio Society meetings (40 years ago now), you probably sat in this chair.  It was my first listening chair - selected only because it happened to be in the right spot in our living room.  Used for many years.

I believe an early issue of The Absolute Sound recommended a director's chair as good for listening - primarily because the back was well below ear height and wouldn't interfere with the sound.  Not the most comfortable chair, especially for long listening sessions.  But it certainly forces good posture.

Designed in 1966 (despite the name).  I love the look of this chair, especially the sculpted walnut arms & legs.  As you'll see in the photo below, although it looks like a regular chair, its actually a recliner.  Very comfortable, but the tall back isn't so great for sound.  The sculpted arms look great, but are a bit uncomfortable in the reclined position as they curve up.  Nonetheless, a great chair.

Reclined position.  No footstool needed - the footrest unfolds from under the chair when the back is pushed back.

The Eames Lounge Chair is a iconic design dating from 1956.  When you search for recommended listening chairs online, this always shows up as a suggested option.  I decided to try a less expensive clone that seems to match the original quite well except the leather is less supple than the real thing.  Quite comfortable, but takes up a good bit of space with the footrest.  You sit quite low in this chair, so I added some spacers between the legs and base of the chair to raise it a bit.

Designed in 2005 by Jeffery Barnett and Nicholas Dodziuk for Design Within Reach (DWR).  They apparently design in-flight seating for private jets and that inspired this design.  This chair also looks like a regular chair but is in fact a recliner.  Low enough back to be no higher than my shoulders, and very comfortable.

Since the chair back is below my shoulders, I added an adjustable  headrest for when the chair is reclined.  Its covered in Guilford acoustic fabric, and is small enough not to interfere with the sound.
