Personal Home Theater Headphones Part 3

I switched over to the Xbox and started up EA’s much hyped first person shooter, Black. Playing games where the only sound effects were bullet casings plinking on pavement from your full-auto AK-47 fire and enemies yelling at you in Russian, instantly annoyed Wife_o_Geek, so I had to turn it down so low the bastards snuck up on me and click-bang-game over. The LTBs were the best solution to this situation: silence for my wife and personal, loud combat chaos for me. The LTBs increased the immersion into the game with directional effect cues and, again, solid and exciting bass performance. So much bass I would cringe on the last trigger pull before exploding the nearest propane tank (destruction bonus).

Comfort is an issue you may have with any Surround sound headphones while playing games and watching movies for long periods of time. The LTBs are the most comfortable large, enclosed headphones I’ve ever worn. They did not pinch any nerves on or around my ears. The padded headband did cause me discomfort after two hours.

Geek with Family highly recommends the LTB 5.1 Personal Theater System Headphones. With easy set-up, an upgraded over stereo sound, good LFE/bass performance and extended comfort you should definitely try them out if you want to enrich your late night private movie, game or whatever time, without waking the rest of the house.

Father, Husband and Geek. My geeky interests have not changed since I was a kid. I still love comic books, anime, role-playing games, console video games, indie rock, imported toys and mecha models, bad American and great British sitcoms, and all the tech that let’s me experience these hobbies to their fullest. Now that I’m married with children, I’ve had to strike a balance between supporting and pleasing my family and feeding my geekery hunger. Lucky for me, my wife is very accomodating and even geeks out with me on occasion (the ladies love Joss Whedon’s "Firefly"). My two year old likes anything that moves on the front projection screen and makes noise, so far she is easy to please. Geekwithfamily.com exists to enrich the lives of fellow geeks and the friends and family who put up with them.
