Lafuma - I have two of those, mesh versions, that I use in the yard during summer. Fantastic for taking a nap in the shade!

Last night I was using a wooden low-rider style. I kept adding padding until my ears were in the range 32-36. I thought that ~35-36" sounded best-ish. I intend to dial that in more then return to speaker placement.

At that point the sound changes a bit from the reflections from the pillow around my ears, similar to when I introduce some more room reflection by moving my curtains off the side walls near the speakers.

I am certain that my ears relative to the high couch back is a big part of the differences in sound I heard. In my case, I think that and listening height are more important than differences between, say, 8 and 9' distance.

those are nice for the outdoors.   the one i use is much more comfortable and is an indoor unit. when company comes over,   i just fold it up and move it out of the way. 

Happy Friday- ALL.
