I think the most important thing is to be comfortable. Personally I don't like falling asleep during files as if you're actually asleep your brain isn't really listening to anything. I've fallen asleep a few times and it feels like a waste of time. Sometimes I'm actually woken up by the wake up cues but I've never had any effect from the file continue or take place during the file so I was likely just in stage 1 sleep.

Don't hurt your ears, don't listen to it so quiet you can't hear it. I prefer it on the louder side, but not maximum tolerable volume, so that it's all I'm thinking about. Then again hypnosis has never really worked for me aside from affecting my fetishes, but that would be true for regular porn as well.

You wanna be able to hear everything but not have it disturb you at all. Medium volume. Turn it down if it bothers you even a little.

Medium sound.

It's important to be comfortable. I like to listen right after a workout since it's easy to relax your body when your muscle are tired but your mind is still awake and alert.

Also, going into trance isn't like shutting off your brain to go to sleep. It's more about focusing on the words and zoning everything else out. If you're too tired to think, you're probably too tired for the file to work.

You also want good content. Not sure what you're into, but N1kk1 F4t4|3 or K4sh4 5h4kt1 are pretty good and they're pretty vanilla considering it's fdhypno.

Good luck.

A lot of files that contain background voices are badly mastered so that you can only hear them when the main voice is already way to loud.

Even though your brain won't process anything, you cannot hear, when consciously focusing on it, you don't want to listen at such a high level for any longer than necessary. Other than maybe doing so to quickly check what is being said, it is better to ignore the background sounds at all, if the files are not mastered correctly.

Also since most files tend to be somewhat long and our ears get exhausted and eventually destroyed just as our muscles (but without the healing part), it is best to use the lowest comfortable volume level possible.

This doesn't mean you should have a hard time understanding the hypnotist, but as your brain has to focus on the instructions anyway and you ideally are in a quiet environment there is no need for unnecessary loudness.

Additionally a good tist won't need the perceived increase in authority a louder listening level may convey.

The only problem with low listening levels is the way our ears attenuate very high and very low frequencies, so the recording or binaurals might sound thin, if the creator has mastered it at a higher level. You can however compensate for this by slightly increasing the bass and treble sliders on your playback device or using a bass heavy headphone, that will generally reach a pleasing sound signature at a lower threshold and likewise it will sound boomy sooner. Therefore an equalizer, or even better a loudness compensation method, is the tool of choice.

Whatever volume is comfortable. I'd recommend noise isolating headphones, and a volume that feels good to you. Any outside noise bothers me, so I tend to have it high enough that I can't hear a thing outside of the headphones. It's not painfully loud or anything, it's just that I can only hear the audio.

do any settings help for anyone? usually surround sound type settings help. ive tried messing with eq but it works differently depending on the file and thing your playing on.

I am a bit of an audiophile, so it's the quality of recordings and playback that I go for. I often get the kicks just from the beauty of the tist's voices (though not in the case of V1v3 lol). Get good noise cancelling headphones and go just loud enough to hear the recordings well.

OT rant:

At this point audiophile is a so inflationarily used term that it doesn't really mean much of anything but gullible audio industry slave, that likes to pay more to get better lies, in most cases.

Fairly similar to findom actually.

The amount of misguidance that has accumulated in the scene is incredible.

If you want to support your advice, do it with knowledge, not with a buzzword.

Also if you are in fact interested in deciphering the lies, take an in depth look at audio engineering and speaker design communities. Those are typically a lot more knowledgeable in terms of what is and isn't possible and where compromises have to be made. And the latter is inevitable.

I would provide some links on where to start if there is demand.

Your need to mention V1v3 in a completely unnecessary denial let's me assume a big crush.

use headphones dummy
