HEADPHONES

 VA - Rock on Headphones + VA - Headphones, A Lighter Side (A Butterboy Compilation)

Headphones can prevent other people from hearing the sound, either for privacy or to prevent disturbing others, as in listening in a public library. They can also provide a level of sound fidelity greater than loudspeakers of similar cost.

Using headphones for listening to music offers the listener a deeply immersive experience. Through a pair of headphones, you can enjoy connecting with a beloved song (or discovering a new one) in a very intimate way, enjoying every nuance of the sound while feeling cut off from the rest of the world. This indeed can be a special experience. Music and emotion are intimately connected, and this is heightened when I use headphones.

When no one else can hear, it’s just you and your music. It feels a bit like having a soundtrack to your life. As you ride the train, or go jogging, or walk-through town, you’ve got your own music setting the mood and determining the rhythm.

I don't want to debate if music sound best, through headphones or speakers (or in fact the experience seeing and listening to a live performance and the sensation of the bass thumping in your chest while the walls rattle around you), because that is not my objective here. Here I am simply sharing with you sounds that please me when listing to my music through headphones. When I listen to music using my headphones, I hear it completely differently to when I listen to music through speakers. The distance of sound from my ears is so small that I feel the music is IN my head. I close my eyes and there are no distractions. It could be psychological phenomenon, but I truly feel better every time.

Enjoy this selection of tunes I feel are better when listening with headphones.
