drat i thought this was going to be about bjork's incredible
song "headphones", the minimalist closing track to post,
produced by tricky

Tricky does production work for Bjork?

bjork voice sends shivers dont my spine, which consequently
make me vomit on myself, which then make me run arround
waving my hands in the air screaming whilst vomit is running
down the front of me.

I HATE headphones, I even made a topic decrying them a while
back. They make me feel claustrophobic and boxed in or
something. I don't like it. ESPECIALLY Autechre and the
Beatles!

a whole new perspective on thier music...

subtle little sounds i didnt hear out of my little iMAC

i repeat bjork's voice sounds terrible !!!!, dont know how
you people can stand it, it sounds like a cat dying from
someone riping out its voice box and replacing it with a
jagged old can that filled with fire ants that spit acid,
which make people sing far worse that they already sound.

Wow I totally agree, Double Figure is the only album I
really felt differently about on Headphones!

I prefer Geogaddi through headphones, it has a warmer more
confined feeling about it.

about the björk song... anyone knows what she's saying but

you definitely hear more details in the music with
headphones.

Ambient works much better with headphones IMO, but not all
music though.

I think I will buy some new sennheisers soon. I listen
through headphones all the time and my current ones aren't
very good...

what are the best headphones to get that aren't expensive or
too big?

Are the headphones that go around your ear better than
in-ear ones?

They are much better, yes. There's nothing worse than in-ear
headphones.

Ah. Well for portable use I go for in the ear every time.
Sony ones at about £20 are fine.

can someone tell me what the difference in sound is between
in ear and ones that cover your ear? better bass? overall
quality?

OK, I am now probably going to say something stupid.

What's the point of surround headphones ? You only have two
ears, right ?
