Listening to open-backed headphones and speakers simultaneously?

Anyone try it? How's it sound?
I guess I have too much time on my hands.

Your wife will realize you’ve finally lost it and ease up on you.

One of my systems has a surround-field function, connected to near-field monitors. With open backed headphones, imaging and sound-staging abilities would likely improve. If you don't have this kind of set up, then there's really no point.

Can I have some Sundara Users to prove this? I'm pretty sure it didn't affect the drivers, but I'm not so sure on that either.

I have been using it recently, and the current experience is very good.

I was listening once and all of a sudden I had significant more sound and my wife was looking at me with a troubled glare…. Apparently I somehow unmuted the amp and the speakers were blasted lol. But I didn’t really note anything significant about what I heard.

Adds width to the sound field. I remembered this post. My set up: Desktop speakers: Monsoon MM-2000. Headphones: Hifiman Ananda. RME AD-2 DAC used as dac and as amp for both my headphones & desktop speaker system. YMMV :)
