Ah, but you need the surround sound and sofa shaking sub-woofer to get the real benefits, Sam.  ;)

A decent pair of headphones can work wonders, though.

I actually had some surround headphones at one stage, and they weren't bad.  :)

Almost any type of phones will give you a more 'intimate' connection with the sound, which helps involvement.

Yes, I agree.  I really should invest in a decent pair.

I like the closed type.

Hmm... I actually thought they'd be dearer than that.  I'm not sure I like them - they look a little flimsy.   :-\

I've never got on with big headphones like always preferred the in ear ones.

Post by: Simon on November 10, 2009, 22:09
I can't stand those, or anything in my ears.  You do get a more immersive experience with 'closed' headphones, as they tend to block out more outside noise.

the ones Lizzie got me for my birthday the other year have been absolutely fantastic for that - they are in ear ones so you'd not like them - but gosh on a plain (what with the software mode enabled) you'd have thought you were in the middle of the desert. no sound what-so-ever.

SENNHEISER are a good make but that price would make me run away...

That's not the most expensive by far, Sam!  How do these babies grab you?  ;D
