    [The Headspace's price is very low compared to the Creative X-Fi].
    It's on there now, I bought mine direct from the website

    I ended up ordering one on the E-bay Sonneteer page.

    Well I'm now up and running . I think sonneteer are trying to get headphones to sound more like speakers with this gadget.thats not what I'm getting ,but it's changed my really nice headphones beyerdynamic dt990 pro,to something quite different. You know with headphones you get the sound in your head but you also hear it,bear with me now the music seems to bypass my lug oles and straight to my head and at the same time beyond my head reading that back it sounds stupid, but that's the only way I can describe it it's a bit like going from speakers with a narrow ish sweet spot to speakers that go wider and higher and fill the room

    I picked up my Headspace from Argos this afternoon and have been using it for a couple of hours now, and for me there's no doubt that the central claim that it 'makes your headphones sound like real loudspeakers [sic]' [made by Sonneteer on Pinkfish, December the 19th, 2018] has not been realized.

    I started off on my main HP rig with solo piano works by Schumann and found a modest change in ambience, though it sounded odd where the damper pedal was engaged or released by the pianist, as if the damper board was situated some way form the actual instrument. . I'll persevere with it, but so far I don't expect it to have a permanent place in my 'best' HP chain. With this kind of music I thought that the Headspace did do something, though that something is not always very noticeable, and conversely that that something may not always agreeable. Using, to me, posh 'phones with a posh HPA the effect was negligible, to middling, to occasionally undesirable

    I then plugged it into an I-Pod Touch and found the Headspace made a positive difference. Playing symphonic music, Mahler's Sy. No.6, the separation of instruments and the impression of the physical space occupied by the musicians seemed enhanced. While I couldn't say that I ever had the impression of listening to stand mounts or floor-standers rather than headphones, I think the device is worth hanging onto for portable use at least. I did notice the odd peculiar effect like a a single glockenspiel strike sounding detached from the sound-field, but overall I'd recommend the Headspace for use with portable devices, particularly given its very low price and small inconspicuous form.


    These, for what they are worth, were my initial impressions [so the usual caveats in place, my 56 y.o. cloth ears and all.]

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
