I rarely sit when listening to music (making dinner doing other stuff on the patio).
However, having a way compromised back (3 shattered load bearing vertebrae plus 3 fractured middle back's and numerous collapsed/gone-history disks) I've ended up using a simple Director's Chair for our computer setup.
The computer rig is the only place I sit for an hour+, or so.
As I need to reposition myself constantly this is the best solution I've found to date, and the chairs come in various seat height versions.
When I really want to just listen to music without distractions I lay on the sofa with my legs elevated (the main system speakers are positioned for this).
This said, per recent measurements, I'm 5'11" and 160 pounds (lost 2" and 20 pounds in the past 25 years) so take this into consideration as such a chair may not be suitable for heavier weights.
Having spent 12+ years in the high end interior design industry (previous life;-) I'm well accustomed with chairs and their comfort levels/builds.
Anyway, my suggestion is a decent Director's Chair if your weight comfortably allows such (and if you are extra thin/bony add a pillow to the seat for added padding comfort).
