Is "surround sound" better then "stereo" with headphones?
I am planning on getting some surround sound speakers but i was wandering, are they actually better then heaphones with stereo. Because they work pretty well for getting a feeling that things are happening around you.
It depends on a number of factors.
1 the Room
If you have a large open room surround sound is very difficult to make work well.
2 the quality
A pair of Grado headphones will blow away a terrible bose, sony, or phillips surround sound system.
Whereas an svs, kef, infinity, mirage system amongst others would blow away the experience of most headphones. For movie watching
3 The setup
A well setup and placed surround system is just plain great, but a poorly placed one is like wearing half the headphones and won't sound as nice.
4 the price
a good surround system even on a budget will add up to around 500 once you factor in the cables and wires and stands and whatever else you need. While headphones are a fraction of the cost.
5 the crowd.
A crowd that watches movies together wants surround sound.
if you are the one amongst others reading and doing other things be considerate and consider sticking to headphones
6 Size
Good speakers do take up size even a Kef 3000 series. headphones take up your ears.
7 Better is the ear of the hearer.
None of us can decide what sounds best to you some people tell me Bose sounds great, but I want to cry in pain everytime I hear them.
So we all have different tastes and ultimately the decision is yours. You can try both and decide for yourself what you prefer.
