Gone are the days of my full Cyrus set up where you could feel the music and immerse yourself into everything that was projected at you.
Every so often I yearn for that feeling, only really getting it in the car which I don’t really like as it’s pretty dangerous with concentration and the fact you look like a complete knob. Wife’s car has full set up bass under the seats etc. Definitely feel the music.
I’m by no means a bass head !
Currently purchased yet another expensive set of headphones, still don’t get that all encompassing feeling of actually being in the music.
Currently not convinced any headphones will ever be able to provide that.
How do you get your fix of feeling at one with music ?

My brother used to rent a house that had an odd square hole in the floor of the concrete cellar.
Turns out the land lord was into some experimental audio stuff in the 70's and at one point had a massive woofer physically sunk into the foundations...
Rent a unit on an industrial estate. Fill it full of speakers. Play techno till 7am. Can't live without music.
A similar thing I think, to the above:
I refuse to get rid of my floorstanders in the living room for this very reason.
It's not very often that no one is in the house & I can get some music cranked up but when I do, I love it!
For A-Level D&T I made a gaming chair, this was before gaming chairs were a thing.
It had a 2x2 timber frame and was covered in 12mm MDF which was from the canteen as they had just pulled a load of partitioning out. Anyway, this thing weighed about 60kg and just looked like a massive armchair, it had 2x 12" subs where your spine would be and 2x 6.5" aluminium speakers at head height, the whole chair was effectively an enclosure. The coup de grace though was 2 tweeters in the end of the arms pointing towards your face which worked amazingly well. Set the whole lot up to be fed through a couple of cheap passive crossovers and the results were quite impressive. I wish I had pictures but it was 20+ years ago.
Reckon you could probably knock that whole thing up for a couple of hundred quid nowadays, you just need an amp to power it.
If you spend a lot of time "feeling" the music, you'll spend a lot of time in later life deaf, and lamenting the fact you blew your hearing.
Not necessarily. Pump up the bass until the windows are rattling and all is good. It's the higher frequencies that do your ears in.

1999 you cheeky bugger. Even rumble motors in controllers had only been around for about 2-3 years at that point. I should have marketed it then I'd be a millionaire instead of talking crap on an internet forum.
REL subwoofer adds the lower frequencies. When set correctly, it is surprisingly subtle. When performing film duties - less subtle 😀
Yep, wife's headphones come nowhere close. Wind it up and sit there between the floorstanders, f heaven, that's why you spent the money.

headphones+mushrooms are much much better for choons. 😆
Yeah, but how much do you want to feel it? Enough to collapse a lung?!

Divorce + floor standers FTW

Howling @mrjmt comment 🤣
I’ve very recently purchased a set of B&W floor-standers and there have been arguments.. it’s cost me a couple of grands worth of internal oak doors to smooth things over FFS.
Anyway I’ve wanted a proper set of floor standing speakers since I was 16 and I got my B&W DM601 S2s.. More than a couple of decades later I’ve finally got them 🙂

Similarly my brother's mate put huge speakers in his wall that backed onto his garage and the garage itself was converted to be the bass driver (or whatever it is called - I don't think 'driver' is the correct term I am looking for). Basically it was an empty space covered in some special materials to help develop the sound.
@nickewen very nice!
I recently gained an ex, a cat I don't particularly want and a pair of Dali Concept 6 😂
Via builders / scaffolders working on a neighbouring house.
I’ve got a pair of Edifier BT earphones, NeoBuds IIRC, and the amount of bass they produce is extraordinary, it’s almost certainly psychological but I genuinely feel the bass is affecting my body instead of just through my ears. Yes, I know it’s all in my head!
I've got a full cyrus/mission floostanders/power amp set up and the bass is thunderous. But my sennheiser hd600 headphones are quite alarming in their all round quality. The mid/bass quality is breathtaking on some recordings.
