I seem to put my hands on my phones a lot when listening to music. I guess I like to feel the bass.

I don't get it...do you mean on the headband?

I've never done that..

Not often. Just when trying to show deference and respect for a passing dignitary.

You mean on the cups? I can't put my hands on the cups when using open-headphone because they will sound very hollow or weird (especially Grados). I cannot put my hands on the cups even if I use my closed-headphones because they are all woodies and I don't want my finger prints/oil on them

It depends on the type of headphone. I once put my hand on my Grado GS-1000, it became a totally different beast, much louder and no more soundstage...

But I guess for close cup, it's just ok, it must give you the same effect as toe-tapping

I put my hands on the cups of my Audio-Technica every time I want to nod my head. If I don't hold them they fall off

I find myself nodding my head a lot with earphones. Especially good ones. Thats how I know which ones I like!

 

[EugeneK]

Never. Open headphones sound wierd when you cover them with your hands. >.<

It's even worse with Grado 325is. Lightweight plastic/leather headband + heavy cups + momentum = flying Grados.
