I play in loud room - hard for me to fade the music.
So I got an excellent set of earbuds that connect wireless to my phone and block out other sounds..

So this is for people who do this - what music or sounds, for that matter, do you like best for playing or practicing, I know 2 guys - 1 likes country the other sam hill podcasts.:wink:
 
I play very quick. I like to pace around the table. I like my music to keep me in rhythm.

All up tempo...... blues,rock,country, oldies, hip hop,I don’t care. If it’s jumpin, I digs it.:wink:

I also know a couple of guys who like 40s dance music.
One guy only listens to old country....everybody’s gonna be a little different.

Just pick the music YOU like,that fits your game.
Try meditation,soothing sounds. Running water,background noises, whatever.

The room I play in is very loud. Tall ceilings, F’n idiotic trivia going on the other side of the room, jukebox playing grandma got run over....oh hell no!
Just drowning out all that outer noise is HEAVEN. The music is just a bonus.

I’m constantly adding to my Pool playlist, and removing the stuff that doesn’t click. It’s all part of the fun.
 
Instrumental. Like budos band and menahen street band or Spanish ska like Ska-P. I don’t speak Spanish but I find not understanding the language let’s my mind focus and not be drawn away by a deep lyric or a catchy hook.

Huh? Its loud in here. I can't hear what you're saying!
 
I listen to all music... my favorite artists are Trent Reznor (NIN and multiple movie scores) and Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer) and on occasion I will put on a playlist from one of them while shooting.

A lot of time it's something more chill. I like a lot of Trip Hop music. Artists like Portishead, Chet Faker, Lovage, Massive Attack, Nightmares on Wax...

Here are a few tracks that are some of my favorites...

It really depends on my mood, Tool, QOTSA, , Primus, APC, Puschifer when I want upbeat stuff.
Suzanne Vega, Sting, REM, Peter Gabriel etc when I want to relaxe more.
Sometimes I listen to podcasts like Sam Harris or Dan Carlin`s Hardcore history.
 
Tony Robbins : " You ARE A winner ; Really ! " . All volumes ( 1,2,3,4, 5, and 6 ). The entire system consists of ONLY 2 LINES! In his best soothing, caring but authoritative unique voice, Tony Robbins repeats " You ARE A WINNER, REALLY", Then he says " I AM A WINNER, REALLY ". The second sentence you are expected to say along with him each time ( or you can just mouth it without actually saying it out loud so yah don't look like a Moran ). Good schtuff here boys!

I am looking to replace my lost Bose buds ( which btw were AWESOME to say the least. Anyone that does not mind wired ear buds owes it to themselves to go to a Bose store and check these out! IMHO, the Bose have the absolute best sound quality of ANYTHING on the market and completely BLOW AWAY any and every other set available today!!! ) . There a little pricy at just under $100 bucks but WE'LL worth it if ya consider yourself an audiophile. I'm sure either with upcoming a Christmas sales they will be on sale in the store or you can probably find cheaper online somewhere if you look BUT WORD OF CAUTION : be extremely careful where you buy electronicsfrom online ! !! The cheap Chinese counterfeit junk is everywhere, especially electronics and is as rampant as ever!!! I actually stay away from online electronic purchases because of this reason. Just as an example, we all know how,popular BEATS are with everyone. You literally have about a 50 / 50 chance of actually getting the real ones when bought online. It's so bad that even the most respected retailers are often ties selling the counterfeit junk honestly without even knowing themselves. Aside from often getting them directly from a reputable wholesalers, shady people go and buy a bunch of the real deals and then return the Chinese junk ones in their place. Unbenounced to the retailer, they just get restocked and resold to someone else.

With that being said , what type of wireless buds did you go with? Can you please provide any details about them such as what type, price, how long are they good for constant use on a full charge and how long does a full charge take from completely dead? Thanks in advance. I have not done so yet, but I am ginger to check to see if by chance Bose makes a wireless set too ( I kinda thinking yes but don't recall seeing any last time I was in the Bose store.
