| 00:06.50 | programmerq | romanovic: I've talked to folks that like earbuds specifically designed for isolation. personally, I prefer over-the ear style headsets designed for isolation. noise canceling helps annoying HVAC equipment, but that's about it. |

| 02:20.23 | TodPunk | programmerq: over-the-ear is far more flexible in what kind of device you can have. Earbuds have a better seal if you need that. So there's tradeoffs, but I personally agree with your preference |
| 02:20.32 | TodPunk | partly because I like surround sound headsets for a few things |

| 15:36.53 | programmerq | TodPunk: personally, I think that surround headsets are a bit of a gimmick-- mostly because I have the razer surround software that will handle surround sound in software. |
| 15:37.04 | programmerq | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdT9XVZlEGk - here's a video showing the razer surround, and another similar technique |
| 16:33.16 | TodPunk | programmerq: it IS a gimmick outside of some contexts, like 3D, but there's a few niche experiences where it is additive |
| 16:33.43 | TodPunk | I play video games on occasion where it's helpful to hear exactly where someone is walking around me |
| 16:33.51 | TodPunk | man it's been a while though |
| 16:33.57 | TodPunk | should do that again |
| 16:34.34 | TodPunk | I should also note that I'm talking a literal surround sound headset, not an emulated one |
| 16:35.02 | TodPunk | All that said: listen to this with any headset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDTlvagjJA |
