Do you think Metal/Rock sounds better when you wear Headphones or when you blast it in the car/house?

I'd say Headphones because I couldn't get into some songs before and now I can since I can hear EVERYTHING perfectly.Do you think Metal/Rock sounds better when you wear Headphones or when you blast it in the car/house?
I enjoy listening better with headphones, but when you blast it in the car/house you can get a better bass boost and its always nice to turn on your cd and get blown over from the sound of 2 guitars, a bass, a bass drum, and a crash that suddenly blast at you.Do you think Metal/Rock sounds better when you wear Headphones or when you blast it in the car/house?
It all depends on the quality of the headphones and the quality of the sound system in your car, if you have one. In my opinion, nothing beats a high quality set of headphones when listening to metal or rock music. They truly allow you to hear ALL of the fine details that you normally would not hear with a cheap set of headphones or a factory sound system in a car. Besides, I always felt that those fine details get drowned out in the car anyway, especially if you roll the windows down. I have a set of Sennheiser brand headphones that have 75% noise isolation and are made for use in studio recording environments. Let me tell you, those headphones make the music I listen to sound like a live concert. AND it drowns out my co-workers so I don't have to hear their constant complaining and gossiping all of the time and pretty much ignore them.
blast it man!!!!
I think it sounds better when the volume is pumped to maximum setting on a high quality stereo in your house, so you have nasty headbanging action. But nothing is better than jamming it in your car, because you can blast those a'ssholes away that listen to they're sh!tty rap music.
Speaking purely about sound quality? Headphones without a doubt. But there are plenty of occasions when blasting unadulterated heaviness through speakers is acceptable, no, REQUIRED.
lol my uncle is an earologist (whatever they are called), basically what he said was its better to listen to things loudly via soundsystems like stereos etc.


if you can imagine being put in a room that is 2Mx2M %26amp; BLARING music that is basically what your doing to your ear by putting an earphone in. hence why when you take it out you feel almost like things are TOO quiet %26amp; you might get ear rings (tinnitus)





however playing s*it loudly in an open space allows for a highervolume but with the sound being easier absorbed by the room.





just watch you don't damage your ears anything over around 70db can damage your ear if you are exposed to it for too long. hence why most bands have some ear problems (especially back in the 70s etc)





Rory Gallagher- Walk On Hot Coals (unbelieveable solo for like 5 mins in this song -skip 2mins in to hear it ROCK)
