Which Headphones? - lokko - 01-29-2014

Which Headphones would you suggest Shannon? Especially for while sleeping?


RE: Which Headphones? - lokko - 02-03-2014

I ask this because the speakers I have will work fine with subs when I tested them with that audio test for speakers, however my bed is a simple bed and is against the wall and needs to be that way. So my speakers are in one spot, 2 speakers, side by side facing towards me about 2 feet away, I just feel like I'm not getting enough exposure because my one side of my head always tucks my ears in the pillow and so I'm thinking I should be getting clear subliminal audio transferring to both ears, which isn't the case. So headphones for sleep sound the best for me.

Similar situation to mine.. I'm thinking I might buy 2 cheap (but good) high-frequency speaker elements (e.g. http://www.visaton.com/en/chassis_zubehoer/ht_kalotten/dtw72_8.html) and high-pass filters for them and hook those up to an mp3 player or something, those would be very small and thus easier to place around the bed. Still not that easy, though. They'd probably need an amplifier too :/

And if Shannon sees this, do AM6 and SM3 use stereo effects?


RE: Which Headphones? - JackOfHearts - 02-10-2014

I use an AKG 272, not the perfect choice for comfort but the sound is perfectly accurate. I think with that I get 100% of the sub. My result with AM5 is now better because I switch from from my speaker to this headphone.

Yes they use stereo effect, even 4G use stereo effect. I think Shannon wrote somewhere that compare to 4G you lose more power if you don't use headphone. With speaker the stereo effect is not optimal. (AM6 and SM3 are 5G)

How do you even sleep with these? especially without falling off?

I have an internal trigger that wake me up when the sound is not there anymore. I never woke up with the headphone off the morning.
I think it's like a reverse alarm when the sound disappear I wake up.
I woke up less and less often to to put my headphone back on so I guess I get used to sleep like that.


RE: Which Headphones? - Jmz - 02-10-2014

Thanks maniac360, Shannon was saying that single-gender subs don't require stereo in some older post, but that's clear now.
I always use these earbuds that you stuck inside your ear canal. They stay on just fine, but I can't sleep laying on my back, I have to turn after 1-2hours to start sleeping..

Sometimes I don't sleep on my back too, I rest my head on my right arm. I don't use any pillow it's maybe why I can sleep with headphone more easily.

Maybe but I doubt it because your speaker must play frequency between 20hz and 20khz. You should not hear anything when you play the subliminal on the speaker(unless you have high frequency hearing ). You must play the ultrasonic very low because you could damage your hears if you play it too loud.
Read carefully the instructions before playing the ultrasonic unless you want to be deaf. Never listen to ultrasonic on headphone.
You can use the application FrequenSee available on the Playstore to calibrate the ultrasonic around -50db on your speaker.

You can save my Google search in your bookmarks and use that to find the answer to most of your question. (you just have to replace the last 2 keyword by your own)

Why -50db? Should this be on the upper or on the lower end?
I just used this app (thanks for mentioning!) and it says I was listening to the silent subliminals at around -60db / -70db.
But I "calibrated" it with the masked tracks, as suggested on this forum here somewhere. You know, by playing the masked tracks at a comfortable level where you can still hear all the sounds clearly, and then just turning the volume a tiny little bit down for the silent track.

Should I turn the volume up a notch so it plays at around -50db?
Again, should -be considered the maximum or the minimum volume?


RE: Which Headphones? - Jmz - 02-18-2014

I remember also calibrating around -65db.. but I don't think the cellphone mics can be considered calibrated instruments, so the readings might wary from phone to phone.
