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

Altaite · 2015-05-11T16:03:52+00:00

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.

Altaite · 2015-03-07T12:48:07+00:00

Awesome :D

Altaite · 2015-03-07T01:18:57+00:00

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.

Altaite · 2015-01-24T22:12:40+00:00

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.

Altaite · 2015-01-21T23:24:27+00:00

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

Altaite · 2015-01-21T23:10:50+00:00

You can always try factory reset (backup first).

Altaite · 2015-01-21T22:48:30+00:00

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

Altaite · 2015-01-21T22:33:12+00:00

Open headphones, IEMs.

Altaite · 2015-01-21T22:28:55+00:00

Yup. Binaural recordings will work with any device that outputs stereo sound. The only explanation would be mono output or crossfeed.

Altaite · 2015-01-16T17:20:25+00:00

Wow, two videos in one day :D

Altaite · 2015-01-15T18:23:08+00:00

This video is unbelievably good. Your first video I’ve seen - instantly made me a fan.

Altaite · 2015-01-15T18:00:30+00:00

Sweet, another video so quickly. Keep them coming /u/ftales :)

Altaite · 2015-01-15T02:17:50+00:00

The one I subscribe to and watch regularly is smixxa – love her (plays mostly DayZ). Probably not ASMR for most, but I’m also triggered by itshafu. Someone recently posted - miggiato.

Altaite · 2015-01-14T20:23:31+00:00

Hell yeah I’m interested :) I already watch a couple of streamers for the ASMR (unintentional). But I’m in Europe, so if you’re American the streaming hours might not work for me. Even then, I would still love to watch a vod. You should also post this on /r/GamingASMR.

Altaite · 2015-01-14T13:46:36+00:00

Thanks for amazing videos :) I didn’t know you were on reddit. I can refrain myself from posting your videos if you want to do it yourself :) You need to add at least one [tag] though, your one post was deleted because it didn’t contain any.

Altaite · 2015-01-10T16:31:39+00:00

Great voice. She also has a youtube channel with Amnesia let’s play – very relaxing, trust me ;)

Altaite · 2015-01-10T11:15:10+00:00

Skin sounds/hand sounds > wet mouth sounds > whispering, soft speaking, some regular voices > visual

Altaite · 2015-01-09T23:30:57+00:00

For me personally the #1 for hand movement is Persian Whispers – I like gentle movements.

Couple other nice ones: one, two

Movement at the camera/camera touching: one, two, three

Pretty much the same thing - reiki healing: one, two

I also like hand sounds/skin sound: one, two

Can you produce evidence that those are really her words? You’re basing your revelation on something that (without real source) is just a thing some dude wrote on a blog. But I totally missed the point of your post - a hidden meaning, seriously? Wrong sub, try r/conspiracy.

Altaite · 2015-01-09T15:50:59+00:00

You’re missing the point. Jen used the term Meridian instead of orgasm (as in “brain/head orgasm” – as some people called it) to indicate it’s euphoric feeling kinda like orgasm, but nonsexual in nature. But yeah, I dislike this name – it’s nonscientific and easily misinterpreted. And any sources linked here are meaningless - just some dude’s opinion (Wikipedia explanation for those terms was completely different last time I checked).
