Currently the state of merchandise in the tech sector has conditioned most consumers to accept the level of performance available. Many of us were brought up with limitations in advancing television and audio technology that curtailed even the best and most special audio experiences with spectacular clarity or size of video to make up for it.
But the cutting edge of technology today in audio and video technology for home consumers means a little more drilldown at the shopping point can deliver new vistas of entertainment value and enjoyment. Yet most TV customers skip a test tone for their intended LCD TV, and even shop for a TV in a crowded, noisy store environment!
Everybody hates those little bitty headphones that hurt your ears. Well, check out the latest in absolutely killer technol0gy headphones that can make that $500 LCD TV sing. Impedance and sensitivity are concepts the LCD TV user needs to understand since the optimized HD and heightened audio output is aimed at higher quality speakers and surround sound systems.
Speakers should not grate or vibrate at extremes of the range. Look at the variety of sound product you expect to have piped through the eardrum, and test out headphones and speaker quality for the music or broadcasts you expect have playing most. Jazz music, hard rock, or soft orchestra will sound different through the cabinet speakers than headphones, but also major keynote audio brands can deliver the widest range of high quality sound.
TV is not just about video quality anymore. Consumers have learned to accept the audio levels available at their LCD TV price point or agree to misunderstand the level of available audio in their price range. But this is a key component of purchasing the right LCD TV because the expected sound quality may be enhanced or limited by the TV device’s ability to channel high quality faithful sound to output equipment.
Why is the audio component of an LCD TV installation so critical? Because people exposed to inappropriate sound levels over time lose their hearing. Having that “rock concert” blast inside your home will erode your hearing over time. Just turning the sound up is not the answer. Finding quality high fidelity speakers and headphones can save wear and tear on the timpani.
Think you don’t apply to this category? Examine your current home headphones. Do they block outside noise? Do they allow background of quiet so you can enjoy the sound editing product engineers have infused your favorite movies and music with? In a normal television watching experience, can you hear “a pin drop”? Do headphones have spongy mass that envelopes the ears, or awkward earbuds that lose about 50% of the audio experience on arrival?
Cranking the sound up to overcompensate for background household noises just infills the wrong spectrum of sound. Do you regularly experience that key moment of drama, news, or the bridge of your favorite song with airplane noise, cement mixers, gardener’s tools, car brakes, ringing phones and/or the sound of kitchen appliances wafting through?
The answer to your viewing frustration in the home may not be due to the LCD TV. Some examination and application of better technology in the audio portion of your home theater experience might make the whole family twist and shout, in a good way. Sound encapsulation in new high tech headphones can be so spectacular, kids doing their homework can sit in the same room as a slightly deaf grandpa listening to the news.
Don’t settle for “humdrum” audio if you can get headphones and speakers that can deliver “you are there’ sensations against a quiet noise floor. TripleFi from Ultimate Ears, almost any Sennheiser headphone device, the wireless-friendly SleekAudio SA6, the Monster Turbinepro, and the Etymotic Research ER-4P Micropro deliver fantastic sound without audio robbery across the spatiality and midrange divide.
