How was your first headphone experience, what album did you listen to for, for me i remember quite well, 666 on 71, unforgetable especially because there are numerous stereo effects all along this great album, it's very well produced ( not saying for a french production ) An outstanding experience   ------------- FAIS QUE TON REVE SOIT PLUS LONG QUE LA NUIT HAVE YOUR DREAM LASTING LONGER THAN THE NIGHT |

I haven't the foggiest idea of what I first listened to on headphones. I do, however, remember the first cassette I listened to on a Sony Walkman, which was Split Enz' True Colours. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

No idea.
Before buying my first headphones I do remember placing the speakers 12" apart on the floor and laying between them to listen to The Moody Blues (forget which album, it could have been In Search of the Lost Chord). ------------- What? |

It probably was with some horrendous sony on-ear headphones (those that came with walkmans) listening to some classical music. But all my life I've loved headphones and I finally have a couple that actually let me hear everything as I wanted. I have had a lot of atrocities too. -------------

I never got into Crowded House -- another Australian "house" band I remember quite liking in the 80s was Icehouse. The only reason why that Split Enz album was the first I heard on the Walkman was because my brother had just bought a Walkman (think it was the first time I saw one) and had True Colours in it and let me listen to it while we dd work on our parents yard. When I got my first Discman, the first CD I put on was Shubert's Piano Trio in E Flat. I got it the because the piece featured in a film called The Humger which rather obsessed me at one time, but classical is my first love. Most very probably the first music I heard with headphones was classical. I did particularly love Bach's Brandenberg Concerto as a child, and my dad would only play classical music, but I got to know a lot of rock music (Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project etc.) thanks to my older brothers. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

I Remember eating a massive Hash Cake then couple hours later lying down on the floor of the kitchen with headphones on drifting away to the sounds of Tab In the Ocean by Nektar finally waking up next morning with everyone eating breakfast and stepping over and around me Circa 1977 ........ -------------

Probably Cats or Les Miserables, my mom had tapes of those she'd play on road trips, I don't remember having any other tapes I cared about when I got my first Walkman as a kid. It didn't take long before I was taping music off the radio and listening to that in my walkman instead. Madonna, Eiffel 65 - stuff I probably wouldn't enjoy anywhere near as much now.

My brother said I had to listen to something on headphones many years ago. It was the ending to ELP's Karn Evil 9. The synth goes back and forth faster and faster until it pokes out the top of your head.

I'm going to assume that you mean that ate a cake made out of chopped meat and potatoes. Otherwise there might be trouble. I seem to remember listening To Dark Side of the Moon on headphones after smoking some fine herbage . Some people smoke their salmon before adding herbs, but I would put herbs on the salmon before smoking the fish, which is really quite delicious. It's quite a trip listening to Fish Rising while doing it. "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast" (Ace Rimmer, Red Dwarf"). ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

How important is it to feel the bass? Most headphones and related schemes can deliver the frequency but not the physical feel?

Which I don't find necessary for music. For movies of course, but not for music. -------------

Hummmmm!!!, Listening to some Marcus Miller tracks loudly and fell the bass groove with my body I realy like that...Same with Floyd,Tangerine Dream, Return to forever, Weather Report.....It can be sensual, but with the Headphone it's more.....A mind experience

I guess you could always rig up a bass speaker to play while you are listening to the phones.

You get to feel the bass and you don't have to hear those annoying people yelling at you to turn it down.

I have no idea.......but I will guess it was Rush-Caress of Steel. My father was a reel-reel guy since he liked classical music and he gave me his Akai reel-reel deck after he bought a new Pioneer one. I do remember falling asleep many times listening to Rush, Yes and Genesis compilations I recorded to tape with my headphones on. -------------

| I remember where I was and what I was listening to the first time. I actually thought the experience was hilarious because no one else in the room could hear what I was hearing and I could not hear what they were saying. I was a little kid in the mid-1980s and I was listening to a cassette by Platinum Blonde, who I don't think many people outside of Canada had ever heard of. |
