[QuietComfort]

Hi. Recently I've been using only one side of my iem (since the other side died on me), a Sony nc22. When I was watching a show, for some reason my laptop speakers went on without me knowing. At one point of the show someone walked up to the character and talked behind him. Honestly, I turned around thinking someone was talking to me. Is this what it feels like to have a vast soundstage on some of other iem's? This was the first time I've experienced this.  Any comments would be helpful.

That's an binaural recording.

Here's a demonstration of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXm6SuUigI

Nothing special with your IEM or laptop speakers.

ohh ok. I just thought that was what a large soundstage is like. Thanks.
