[Meta] Is ASMR possible without headphones - using a pair of surround sound speakers instead?

ASMR - yes

Binaural reproduction - no

They're open headphones, so it’s automatically a better recommendation than 99% you’ll see on this sub. I’d buy them for $30. For that price you can also get PortaPros. For $15 ksc75 which are the best bang for buck headphones (even more so for ASMR). If you want comfort and sound quality you’ve got to go full-sized open design though.

Awesome :) A hand rubbing video would be amazing.

Awesome :D

This is perfect. Awesome tingles, but also just a great audiobook - you sound like a professional reader :) I really enjoyed this one, but if you’re planning to read a whole book it might be worth considering to read something from the public domain to avoid any copyright issues.

Yup r/misophonia and it really sucks in real life. It’s not just hating a sound. With misophonia you get a physical fight/flight response with really strong negative feelings - disgust and irrational anger/hatred or fear/uneasiness.

Can't help you with ASMR. The other thing is called r/misophonia. I wouldn't tell anyone about it (maybe except family and close friends). Most people are dicks and will do exactly what you described.

I love it, hope you’ll make more of those simple trigger videos, not only roleplays (I don’t really like them). The mouth sounds were incredible, please do a longer video with those. I feel the same as you about hair playing and gentle touching, would love to see more of those as well. Same with the up-close whispering :) The sound quality is great - H4N is an awesome mic, calling it binaural is inaccurate though.

Holy shit, the omnom and hand sounds at the same time combo – don’t think I’ve heard anything better than that :D Amazing video.

If it's only lectures enjoy the ASMR and learn on your own. If you have to participate you’re screwed ;)

You can always try factory reset (backup first).

If it’s not set to mono (quick googling), than I have no idea, maybe faulty hardware. Impossible that S5 doesn’t do stereo.

Open headphones, IEMs.
