Stereo Versus Mono Speakers/Headphones: Why You Need Stereo

[Shannon]

This could be an issue I'm having then- I'm listening nightly with two speakers but I sleep on my side and so one ear isn't getting a lot. Also the speakers are just blending in the room.

hmmm...

To get the best possible results, you must use stereo headphones for 8+ hours per day. That's rarely possible to do effectively, so the second best thing to do is to use stereo speakers in a room and have them separated on opposite sides of your ears as you listen.

That's also not always possible, so a lot of people just use stereo speakers in a standard configuration, or their laptops.

Some people use their mono cell phone at night to play their subs, sleeping on their sides.

It will all work. But you'll notice better and better results as you go toward more and more perfect stereo separation.
