    Get open back headphones. They’re specifically for audiophiles who think headphones aren’t the same. I have some and love them. Ear buds and normal headphones feel like you’re trapped in your head. Open back simulate being in the room with music.

    Also, fuck you if you play your sorry ass music loud enough that your neighbors can hear it or feel it. I don’t care if it’s just the sweet part of Fade to Black or the riff on Aerodynamic, if a neighbor plays that shit pound enough to broadcast the muffled remix, it’s fucking war.

    Edit: actually an unpopular opinion, upvoted

      If you want a good open-back pair that is under $100, I thoroughly recommend the Philips SHP9500 to anybody reading this. Been using the same pair I got a few years ago for both gaming and listening to music, and these are some of the best headphones I have used to date. You can often find them in the $50-$75 range online.

      I got a set of AKG K240s which aren’t even close to the best but of the options available at the guitar center (various Sennheiser, Grado, Audio Technica, etc) the clarity really impressed me. Love those things.

      I personally recommend Samson’s SR850 open back headphones. For $50 they’re God damn amazing. Ain’t audiophile quality, but a fantastic investment in general and a great way to get a feel for what audiophiles are chasing after.

    If you blast your music loudly enough to bother your neighbors you deserve to reap the bullshit you’ve sown.

      beyond a certain point sure, but there’s no way to estimate how sensitive they are to reasonable noise either

        If I occasionally faintly hear a short sound, but it’s not noticeable when I’m focusing on something else and it’s only every few hours, I’m fine with it. Any more than that is unacceptable IMO, unless all your neighbors do it and are okay with it somehow.

        Maybe I was spoiled by thick walls.

    Get good over-ear headphones. That should really do. And go to the club for bass treatment.

          Lol most people don’t like going to the club outside of their 20’s. Which is most people. A lot of us hated the clubs in our 20’s too.

          It shouldn’t come as a shock that most people that don’t like dance music aren’t going to enjoy going to the club, and that it’s largely young single people that enjoy that sort of thing that like going there.

          If you think MOST PEOPLE like going to dance clubs you’re out of touch with reality mate.

    True unpopular opinion over here.

    headphones are not the same.

    Correct. They are a way better option to enjoy music. Unless you’re listening to it live, imnho there’s no better way to enjoy music than a nice set of headphones. They are perfectly calibrated to produce sound at exactly the right location into your ears. Unless you’re comparing them to hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on speakers and sound engineers, no speakers you can buy for under that even come close. That $250 garbage you’re annoying your neighbors with certainly does not.

      I don’t agree with them, but it’s literally addressed in the second sentence…

    Headphones are better than blasting music with speakers. Noise cancellation brings a new level to music, I’ve noticed details that I’ve never heard before. Be civil and respect your hood.

    It’s the one reason I like my shitty little house. My 4 12" subs on my home theater system are not exactly apartment friendly.

    Unfortunately that also means having a yard that I hate mowing in the summer, and loathe having to shovel in the winter.

      I have 2 15" subs in the living room for the same reason. The railing of my stairs in the other half of the house starts shaking when I turn them up.

      My house is even made out of brick.

      Even with headphones I’m worried I’ll start singing or rocking out and they’ll hear me. And I don’t even live in an apartment.

    The first thing I did after I bought a house was crank the subwoofer to listen to some proper Drum and Bass music.
