Never gave it a second thought. One of my fav review in this category is @GoldenOne Just now I received an email notification of a new review by GoldenOne. Immediately clicked on the link which took me to YouTube. In the first 10 seconds of the review I heard this statement by GoldenOne In your chest full body experience is neither a sought after nor a desired in quality 2 channel stereo setups. The description sounds like it belongs to HT setups. Yes, we use powerful subwoofers in 2 channel stereo, but the goal of them is accurate reproduction of low frequencies, not huge SPL levels. Probably that is why, HT subwoofers are seldom used in 2 channel stereo systems. The product being reviewed is woojer Vest-Edge. This looks like an adaptation of old Bass Shaker for the gaming industry. The reason I mention this is, now I am wondering if the headphone use reviewers have different criteria for the gear than the 2 channel stereo user reviewers. @GoldenOne this is not an attack on you, a legitimate question to context to the reviews. Perhaps I could have worded it better in the review. I'm not so much meaning the deep/weighty rumble that you might want in a home theatre or movie sort of setup. Im meaning the full body 'presence' that is missing when you use headphones. As someone who spent considerable time growing up as part of orchestras and listening to live music of various genres, this was something that was there in live music, there in good two channel setups, overdone and distracting in many home theatre setups, but absent in headphones. macuniverse and audiobomber 1 1 https://youtube.com/goldensound Roon -> HQPlayer -> SMS200 Ultra/SPS500 -> Holo Audio May (Wildism Edition) -> Holo Audio Serene (Wildism Edition) -> Benchmark AHB2 -> Hifiman Susvara Link to comment
