Sonic Slippers - Why don't we all have them?
Posted by: Steve GTX on 14 October 2015
I don't know if you guys have seen this, it's pretty old but it did make me laugh! With tongue firmly in cheek......
I can honestly say that the Sonic Slippers have, without a shadow of doubt, transformed my listening experience. Those distant sounds that I thought were unwelcome background noises are now in sharp focus ... I hear them for what they really are, and were, disguised before the Sonic Slippers changed my listening life! Yes, now I can even hear the slop of soapy water as Mrs. Mop goes about her chores at the back of the studio. Verily, I tell you readers, the grime and fog has been lifted from before mine eyes. I can hear, see, smell and almost touch a beautiful sonic vista no, not just before me, to the side and behind me! I'm actually immersed in the radiant warmth of the music, for the very first time. The orange, enveloping glow of the performance is permeating my very pores. It's as if you're experiencing a lifetime of sun kissed beach holidays and *** all rolled up into one orgasmic explosion of unbelievable sound - yes, truly! I'm not exaggerating Trust me; I've not missed a single edition of HiFiShazam since 1968 and I know about these things. Before I donned the Sonic Slippers music was drab, drab, drab. I could hardly bring myself to listen to my $75,000 Hi-Fi rig. But now! I just can't wait to get home and slide my weary toes into the deep, sensuous velveteen warmth of the Sonic Slippers. Choose from three shades. Purple, for the uplifting classy sound. Red, for more dynamics and plenty of PRAT, and soothing green for the last word in natural sound. Or buy all three and wear according to mood! Don't be shy. Even wear one of each colour for those days you can't decide between PRAT and laid back. Sensational! The whole experience is mind blowing! A natural high. Could one say 'spiritual'? Yes, I firmly believe one could. These Sonic Slippers have made a vast, simply staggering improvement in my system..

About 25 years ago I bought a Roksan Xerxes which came with a pair of cotton gloves. Had no idea what they were for but when listening to music they have the same effect as the sonic slippers you mention. My Xerxes has long since retired to the attic but I still keep those gloves to hand for serious listening!

I find a glass of wine is more effective than the sonic slippers, and there is still a choice of colours: red, white or rose.

HH, I think you many have a good point!
But why not combine all three! Sonic Slippers, Gloves AND the Wine? Unless anyone out there produces an Audiophile Hat!

Nothing beats black for burrowing into the music.

Presumably these would be worn whilst sipping the wine after having the snake-oil massage?

Steve, several questions for you. Where can you get Sonic Slippers from, how much do they cost and is it possible to get a demo, preferably at home before one commits ones hard earned cash? Not that I dispute your findings of course it is just that I am a cautious chap. It's often be said that if a thing is too good to be true....well you know the rest.
I hope you are not pulling my leg because I really, really think I need this amazing footwear. I feel I am at the point of diminishing returns on upgrading my balck boxes and the Sonic Slippers seem just the ticket.
Suggest you don't tell too many people about them as increased demand will only push the price up. Let's keep these bad boys to ourselves!

This could easily get out of hand.....

Perhaps a sonic pipe might be more effective.
I get excellent results from wearing a Peter Belt Rainbow Jumper whilst listening...

But don't you find slippers - Sonic or otherwise - very room dependent...?

Only guessing but I would say the fit and colour would be more important but I say this with no experience of them.

See what you have started Steve!

But think of the impact of hard vs soft surfaces, unlined vs sheepskin-lined...... this could go on..and on

If we all clubbed together to buy Steve a pair of Sonic Slippers, would that stop the rot...?

Let him buy his own bloody slippers. Any spare cash I have will be used to buy myself a pair.

For all our sakes -
I'll let you all off the hook and "stop the rot" here and now!
Made me laugh out loud!

Posted on: 14 October 2015 by Steve GTX
You beat me to it!
PLEASE let's stop now!

What's all this about ear muffs.
I just bought a very expensive pair of sonic slippers off fleabay. Are you now telling me these ear muffs are better?
