Anyone ever tried using open-back headphones with speakers playing at the same time? I used to now and again in the late '70s and early '80s with my Pioneer amp Castle Richmonds and Sennheiser 424s. It seemed neat at the time.

Just a thought

Were you on drugs at the time?

Drugs?

Never needed them, Martin. Never needed them.

I was intimating that you might have needed them for that to sound good, there's so much potential for it to sound awful :eek:

It didn't sound awful.

You got a sort-of extended-out-of-the-head-type-effect.

Granted, it did fall apart if you walked about.
