Because we tend to concentrate on the visual aspects of films and TV programs, we often go to great lengths to enhance this part of the entertainment experience. We seek out the largest movie screens we can find and pay extra for IMAX and 3D projection. We also invest in expensive high-definition televisions to try to recreate the movie-going experience in our own living rooms.
Unfortunately, we often forget about the other essential component of the film/video experience: sound. While acknowledging the bias toward visuals, renowned film scholar Jane Knowles Marshall insists that viewers really cannot underestimate the less obvious importance of sound. When taken together, the various elements of a meaningful sound track (voices, sound effects, and music) are often even more complicated than the images on the screen.
People who want to get the most out of their home theaters have found much to celebrate in the Sennheiser Flex 5000.
