idle curiosity - why internal HD rather than external HD

Goggle viewing may work better for certain applications such as games, but I'll keep my monitor for general usage. Same reason I seldom use two pairs, one of which replaced broken Grados, of fairly good audio headphones. Although not as a rule recommended, what I like from them, I EQ- and process-in for decent speakers cabinets. Good headphones go a long way up against all the best of very expensive speakers, and it took me a long time to get situated, comfortable with sale prices on studio reference monitors I did eventually find. Other than that, I wouldn't, given the choice, want anything balanced or wrapped around my head. |

They tend to fall off my nose, or worse, one slides down and blocks the other. One pair is enough. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |

I've your basic reference - the typically conspicuous 'flat response' for naturalism among dynamics and frequency, the industry offers among several medium-high ratings for headphones. Not exorbitantly priced, as audio mark-ups notoriously are, but neither especially significant when watchful for a decent sale discount. And then I've some very unusually engineered Sony drivers. They're from many years ago, away down from pro-grade models, and the headphones since have fallen into pieces;- the actual drivers are engaging, and I resoldered and mounted them into more stably rigged headphone encasing, from an offbrand, replacing the drivers with the Sony's. Those drivers, for all their obvious budgetary constraints, have a different emphasis on frequencies and dynamics, a bit livelier in presence and reviewed reception;- Sony can get away with that: Sony has more of their premier headphone models in more studio recording facilities than most. The Grados, all the way regarded for prosumer, for me, turned into crap, totally, when one of the drivers irreparably failed. Also "flatliners", generally for middle of the pack, but with a slight bass kick. Intended and noted for their comfort level for wearing, otherwise to be base appeal on WWII aeronautical, or general military designs employed from the era. Where it gets utterly stark crazy, is in miniaturisation available from technology today. The inner-ear cringe chamber fit of highend and very expensive drivers, say, used by members in exclusive New York City health clubs. Never mind the $400 monthly gym membership fees. Whilst privately listening to music -- sweating like a pig from pulling a 450lb. deadlift off the floor is for the gymrats a block or two over, a basement so-styled "dungeon", piping-hot with Nine Inch Nails through ceiling-mounted speakers -- the cost of elite skullcans is, whatsoever without doubt, inestimably the inconsiderate viewpoint. |

I've a mixer unit and did some recordings with headphones/mics. I only had to borrow a pro-singer/performer's voice;- the computer, mixer, mic-interface for realtime latency overrides, took care the rest. |

So I take it that you also use only one pair at a time, unless you are in a gym ? Sounds sensible to me. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |

The newer inner-ear or channel headphones, I've seen for $2000US. Although there may be, what technology can now provide, four or maybe more discrete electrical drivers, miniscule or close enough for a pinhead, mounted together in clusters for each ear. Handheld devices and, with some gyms, their own software applications for aides to the workout, of course also provide privacy for individual musical content. They're predominately of newer inner-ear headphone types. I've my own gym, at least for the time being. There's little if anything in resistance equipment I cannot duplicate. What gym policies are, often to an oligarchic intent of individual owners, the enfranchised gym as I'm familiar, closely relates to profits -- as often for what is to as little public deviation, as possible, for non-allowance of all instances of actions resembling what potential is most arguably offensive and objectionable. Usually, that point will concur to be precisely at 6PM to 9PM, after most finish their j-o-b and head in to the coral for some paces around the hamster wheel. I dunno, I suppose I may at some point join another gym. Hamsters being simply so adorable, at least until they hurt themselves;- many gym memberships are a ticket in the out-door nextdoor to a doctor's physiotherapy rehabilitation lab. I may have a temporary opening for a rotor-cuff trauma or impingement specialist, on a case interest basis for verifying some independent studies. |

Goggle viewing may work better for certain applications such as games, but I'll keep my monitor for general usage. Of course it's much to do with usage. The most obvious is when available space does not allow for a huge monitor. Also when traveling. I doubt comfort will be a problem. I have some FPV goggles that are surprisingly lightweight, much lighter than putting a smart phone inside of a goggle case. Gaming certainly is a good foreseeable application even when space is not limited. I used to think dual monitors was cool for gaming, but keeping stuff on the other monitor is pointless when I want to be absorbed in the game. I wouldn't worry about it, it won't be a government mandate anytime soon... |
