Hey all,

For some strange reason I was thinking about this last night.... please bear with me on this...

Say you take a pair of Grado SR-225's.... play music on it and put them on.

You split the connection from the home amp to the Grados *and* your surround set of speakers to create soundstage... with sound coming from everywhere.

Would this sound good? Or would it be a good listening experience? I've wanted to try but I dont have any good speakers around

hrmm.....

seems to me like the headphones would interfere with the surround effect. or vice-versa.

on the other hand, i know people have discussed using a sub to compliment headphones. i sometimes use a closed phone over my iems for more bass and isolation- which sounds pretty incredible. i use my presonus hp4 amp (4 headphone outs).

I tried my hd590s with my logitechz5500 computer speakers...

I couldnt really hear any difference with the music because it was so loud from just the headphones the speakers made no audible differnece, BUT I could feel the subwoofer and it was great!!

It's not really that amazing. You can kind of hear the speakers, but it's not like there's suddenly a magical soundstage.

I've tried more then once headphones + speakers and , though it sounds really large and live thing , I slightly prefer the 1 choice solution .
true thing that from time to time I really like to dig the twotogheter for fun factor .

I don't have great speakers, but to me it sounds mostly strange. The cans are projecting one soundstage and the speakers another. It's kind of out of sync. There are good things about the sound also though. It's both the intimacy of headphones and also a speaker fealing.

I heard people had success with K1000, both with speaker system and with subwoofer.
