500+ Head-Fier
While I wouldn't go completely horizontal, they work great while leaning back. With TC I would lean back as well but would often need help supporting the ear cups with a pillow. The SR1a are much more natural feeling and completely stable. You may need to extend the fins a bit more since gravity may pull them closer to your ears while lounging, but that's an easy adjustment to make. I use a 2 channel rig in my office and only listen to SR1a/TC while lounging in the chair shown below or in bed.@EndGameSearch Your remark as quoted here is really interesting for me. That's the point, which prevented me up to now, to order a SR1a. If it's possible, i.e. convenient and not too "shaky" to use the SR1a in a half lying position (think Stressless recliner or Corbusier lounger), then I would order one as soon as they (and the HSA1) are available again. I know, you cannot guarantee that this would work for me, but for you it works, without the headphones falling backwards from your head, correct?
I normally sit in the position shown if not reclined a little further back.
