Granny says heah.

Mofimadness, susgestion, very funny.

Is it me, or is there no mention anywhere in the link provided by Mofi or on the Yanko Designs website if these Batphone Ear Extensions are actually for sale? I want to buy a pair and crack up my colleague. I do have a problem with my one co-worker who speaks so darn softly I am always asking her to repeat herself. I want to pop into her office one day with these on.

PS - whether I am deaf and in denial or not, I like my system as is and do not like high-backed listening chairs.

I checked out the link. I might have to get a pair of those ear extensions, especially if they come in marvelously hip colors.
I don't think I'd wear them in public though, there would be too much explaining to do.

After reading the above about a high backed chair,one made of leather might work wonders.A friend has high backed leather recliners in their theater room,and I get that affect you might be looking for.They are comfortable too!

When I was searching for a listening chair years ago some unorthodox types seemed at first blush inviting. I thought stressless chairs might be very enjoyable. However, I saw that they inclined the body such that the ears were not in optimum position for listening, so they were rejected. It can be a task to find a chair which is comfortable but does not put you to sleep. I certainly would not enjoy a chair which every time I sat down to listen knocked me out! I want to be alert, not anesthetized. I put enough time/money into systems that I want to hear them, not sleep through their performance. So, beware a chair that is TOO cushy.

I find that I can live with a chair that is a touch less cushy if it has an ottoman. Putting my feet up is as important to relaxation as anything. :)
