The front speakers should be behind the screen or at least appear to be. Dialogue, or all the sound in a mono film should be coming from the screen only- with headphones it sounds like it’s coming from inside your head instead.
I’m sure this will be neat but it won’t likely replace a good home...
I have watched part of a movie on a friend’s VR device, I don’t have one myself and am not in any hurry to get one. It works for games and things where you take on a first-person view, but it’s a poor substitute for a screen that’s supposed to be in front of you with the main sound coming from it.
I couldn’t watch a movie seriously like that for the same reason I wouldn’t use headphones for serious listening to anything other than 2-channel music.
