Ep. 25 Why Music Feels Different in Headphones: The Psychology of Immersion, Intimacy and Isolation

In this episode, we explore why music feels so different when you’re wearing headphones. From immersive audio and sonic intimacy to emotional privacy and everyday rituals, we dive into the psychology of how headphones reshape our relationship with sound. We discuss everything from binaural recordings and 8D audio to the power of zoning out and self-regulating inside a personal emotional sanctuary. This episode is a reminder that putting on headphones isn’t just about listening; it’s about entering a space that belongs entirely to you.
