Why Surround Sound is Good For You Because two speakers are too few Surround sound is a technology that isn't new to any of us. We have all experienced it while watching movies in a cinema hall. However, surround sound at home is still something many people are missing out on. There are three reasons for that. First is that many people don't see the point of having a surround sound set up at home. Second reason is that even if they want to have surround sound they hate having wires running around their house. And the third reason is the price. Surround sound speaker systems are an expensive luxury that few can afford. So today we will try to address all three issues. A lot of people don't see the point of having surround sound setup. For them it doesn't matter whether the audio is coming from around them or in front of them, whether it is multi-channel, stereo or even mono. As long as they can hear it, it is good enough. The quality does not matter. Some people cannot be convinced no matter what you do; they will never see your point. However, there are others who are in need of education as to how surround sound can improve their audio experience and a good old-fashioned demo. Here, we will take care of the latter. Here are three typical scenarios in your house where you would require audio and where surround sound can actually improve the experience. Watching Movies This one is a no-brainer. All the movies that we watch today have multi-channel audio and can only be properly experienced if you have a surround sound speaker system. Movie directors spend hours to get the right audio in a movie and positioning different sounds at different places in the audio field. By listening to that audio through just two speakers or even worse, through the speakers of a television set without a subwoofer is a criminal offense. If you are a movie buff then it is imperative that you must have a surround sound system. Surround sound for movies is something that should not be optional, it is the way to watch movies. Any other way is just a compromise. Music Almost all the music that is produced is in stereo and stereo fans would argue that two channels are more than enough to listen to music and that multichannel music is just a gimmick. However, having heard music in multichannel we can vouch for the fact that mutichannel music is no gimmick. While it is true that unlike movies, music does not always sound better in surround sound, certain tracks benefit immensely from the extra four speakers. It allows the composer to place certain instruments at certain points in the soundstage and thanks to the multiple speakers the soundstage is wider and more believable, and the feeling of 'being there' is much more pronounced. This feeling is especially heightened when listening to a recording of live music being played on a stage in front of an audience where the sound of the instruments comes from the front two speakers, the singers voice from the centre channel and the sound of the audience from the rear speakers. It's the closest you can come to actually being one of the audience in terms of experience. And the best part about surround sound speakers is that you can also listen to them in stereo, but you cannot do them the other way around. Gaming This is another area where surround sound can make a big difference. Most games these days rely heavily on positional audio. Knowing where your enemy is coming from is a matter of life and death. Simple two channel audio just cannot deliver proper positional audio and in gaming the more speakers you have the better the experience would be. Unlike movies and music where surround elevates the experience of listening to the audio, surround sound in gaming actually improves your performance by giving you better idea of the positions of your teammates and enemies. Gaming is another area where surround sound is a must have. TV Viewing Most of the audio we hear on our television sets today is monophonic, at least in India. However, companies like Dolby are working towards bringing surround sound to your regular TV shows as well. While at first this might seem like an overkill, just think about the possibilities. You are watching a cricket or football match and you have the sound of the crowd coming from all around you. Or you are watching a race and you can hear the sound of the cars around the room as the camera changes. Even if you are the kind of person who just watches news or soap operas on your TV, the audio quality will still be superior compared to what you would get from the TV speakers. As you can see, having a surround sound system can be beneficial in almost every scenario. In some cases it can greatly enhance your listening experience and in some cases it should be the only way you hear audio. So then why aren't people taking to surround sound the way they did to flat screen TVs? Like I mentioned before, one of the reasons why people don't want to have a surround sound system is because it adds to the clutter in the room. You have multiple speakers and their wiring to take care of. It is true that we are yet to have a truly wireless surround sound speaker systems, however, the wiring is a one time expense and after that you only have the benefits of the surround sound system to enjoy. You can also opt for the wireless systems that are available today, which aren't completely wireless, but have lesser wiring. As for the speakers, they can be fairly small and many are well-designed to go with the decor of any room. The last problem that we mentioned above is the price. A lot of people consider surround sound systems to be expensive. However, you will see the same people springing for expensive FullHD LCD TVs, regardless of the fact that they may just be watching cable TV on them. There is also a myth that only the expensive speaker systems sound good. While expensive systems would sound better that does not mean that you cannot get good audio with the cheaper systems. For example we recently reviewed two speaker systems from Logitech and Sony, which are priced around Rs. 5,000, and yet deliver very good audio quality. For someone on a budget these systems provide surprisingly good performance without putting a big hole in your pocket. As you can see, there are very few reasons why one should not consider a surround sound system for their home. The advantages of such a setup far outnumber the disadvantages. There is plenty of content available right now that has surround sound in it and there is plenty more to come. Trust us, you don't want to be stuck with just two speakers. The audio experience with surround sounds systems is vastly superior and this is coming from someone who has spent considerable amount of time with such setups. So do yourself a favor and invest in a good surround sound setup, especially if you are a movie buff or gamer. You will realize what you have been missing so far. Courtesy : Techtree

^^^ Dear Kanaga......for surity......YEH ANDER KI BAAT HAI. Kisi ko bolna matt. Hope Kapil Uncle will not emerge as UNCLE SAM.

The earlier they start 3G services, the more competition will be there among all operators. And no doubt the more benefit we, the subscribers will leech.

^^^ I don't think there will be another date added now for the initiation of MNP. At last the magic of MNP is going to be true on 25th November 2010. Aur agar nahi hua 25 November ko MNP start toh WATT hai.

^^^ But friend, here we are talking about Vodafone, whom you know will rarely offer such free minutes. Aur mujhe maalum hai ke yeh free minutes offer karte huve unki kitni FATT rahi hogi. As they are not used to offer anything for free.

<< Topic Merged >>

^^^ Hope they get lost our documents every month and we get 100 minutes free again and again. (Obviously for lifetime ).

Operators should not provide normal and special recharges for the same denomination of amount. This is really confusing not only for the subscribers but also for the dealers.

But still the question arises, how much SECURE does BharatBerry is ?

^^^ Yes, Ebay could definetely be a better choice. I bought many products from Ebay and never had any problem.

Its not available even in my locality. Lagta hai sab ka sab bik gaya.

^^^ In the recent couple of years many operators activated the Sims without proper documentation or you can say they didn't done any verifications at all. Now they are bothering innocent genuine subscribers also to submit the documents again. What the hell. The fault was their's as they didn't verified the subscriber at the time of activating the number. Submitting of documents again and again seems quite irratating.

Hmmm.....its really shocking if a big group like Futurebaazar doing such things. Do anyone from here had the bad experience with Futurebazaar ? I request to the buyers who purchased through Futurebazaar, kindly post some review about their services so that the Future Buyers from Futurebazaar make their decision to purchase or not to purchase accordingly.

^^^ Yes Saugata, I too think that in the present scenario there is no chance for it to be hit.

Yeh Pune mein Mobile Networks ke shayad Greh Kharab / Sadhey Saati chal rahi hai. As most of the times members from Pune complaints of poor services from their respective cellular service provider. May it be Airtel, Vodafone, Docomo or RGSM. Ab toh MAHAYAGYA ho he jaana chahiye. Shayad tabhi kuch network sudhar jaye Puneites ke liye. Yeh lo meri taraf se Mahayagyam : Iss Mahayagya ke dwara mai Ishwar se prarthana karunga ke sirf Pune he nahi balki Purey Bharat mein Mobile Network Sudhar Jaye.

^^^ Yes you have to pay for the GPRS usage to your operator.

Do not deposit a single penny. The high usage is due to use of internet. It will be adjusted when your final bill will be prepared. Ask them to increase your Credit Limit instead.

^^^ Hmmm......Self Promotion. Ei Ka Ho Raha Hai Rimweb Per ? Yeh Achhi Baat Nahi Hai.

^^^ Yes Kanaga, Free Pushmail service is there from Nokia and its really awsome. But its limited to only 10 Accounts. Thats why Bharat Berry for Nokia Symbian phones could be helpful if one have to configure more then 10 mail accounts for push mail on their handsets.

^^^ I'm not talking about any specific circle here. I had written this as per my personal experience with both the operators. I use to travel throughout India due to my business purpose. May be its East India, West, North or South India. In majority of places I found the Vodafone and Airtel services much better then other operators. Bhai log even JUNGLE mein bhi network milta hai inka toh. Ab yeh matt poochna ke kaun kaun se JUNGLON mein network milta hai.

^^^ May be Airtel's website could be the worst of all operators, but Airtel Cellular Service is better then many other operators. Airtel is as good as Vodafone in India.

^^^ That will be good for Nokia Symbian phone users.
