As a data point, the time I bought a 10" subwoofer for use in my home theatre was when my thoughts on headphone use changed.

Prior to that I'd used some decent (but not "fantastic" headphones).

Nothing compares to the whole-body experience of watching a movie with good bass speaker setup. Large bass speakers literally vibrate your whole body rather than just your head.

It's a huge, huge improvement over headphone. :)

Now get a bass shaker: https://www.amazon.com/Dayton-Audio-BST-1-Tactile-Shaker/dp/...

I have one mounted directly to my bed, and it simply can't be compared with speakers.


Oh, that looks nifty.

Er... why mounted on your bed though? :)

I use my computer sitting or laying down in bed. So that's where my sound system is—mounted to the bed. It's extremely comfy.

When I moved from laptop to desktop, I built a new laptop for the desktop so that I could continue to use it from bed.
