Masked with headphones vs Ultrasonic with speakers - Subeternal - 04-10-2013
My preferred listening method has always been masked with headphones but I've been pondering about something lately. Is there much of a trade off not using headphones to listen to a 3rd gen subliminal? with 4G? I know this "Listen more with headphones mantra" seemed to come along after the development of 5G (at least in my perception).

All of my programs since 2G use the build methodology that requires headphones to get the most from. There's always a trade-off not using headphones. But it's better to get exposure without headphones, than exposure through a mono speaker, and better through a mono speaker than not at all. The trade off does become more significant as the complexity increases, so there will be a bigger impact that you can notice from using a 5G with headphones than a 4G, and more from 4G than 3G.
