That Eric Alper

While life on the road may seem like all fun to many people, the realities of playing successive dates in different cities can wear out performers. One way to provide at least some respite is to avoid commercial flights and travel by private flights, How does this make for a better arrangement? Here are four examples to keep in mind.

Fewer Time Constraints

Charter flights make it much easier to tailor a departure and arrival schedule that fits in with the performance schedule. Instead of attempting to structure things around a commercial flight, everyone involved in the concerts can be on the way when they choose. If the crew needs to go ahead and prepare an arena or stage, that’s fine. The musicians can finish up with tonight’s performance, jump into a waiting vehicle, head to the airport, and be on the way to the next city without any delays.

Avoiding Crowds at the Airport

Musicians do enjoy meeting fans, but there’s a time and place for everything. Right after a show, the adrenaline high will only last so long before the band needs some peace and quiet. Opting for a charter flight provides a setting in which it’s possible to avoid the crowds found at most airports. This makes it all the easier to recharge and be ready for any personal appearances, interviews, or meeting with fans that may be coming up the following day.

The Potential for Rest During the Flight

Sleep can be elusive during a tour. At some point, a lack of rest will catch up with everyone. While it may be possible to get some sleep at the hotel, even a nap while traveling from one location to the next can help. Thanks to the amount of privacy and relative quiet that’s found on a charter flight, the odds of being able to take a nap are much better. Even if the flight only lasts for an hour or so, a little sleep can make a big difference.

Need to Rehearse or Discuss the Next Show? That’s Fine!

There are times when the charter flight provides some time to discuss the last show, what went right, and what could be improved. This type of discussion can make it easier to plan for the next rehearsal and ensure the band is happier with the next appearance.

There may even be a little rehearsal while the musicians are in the air. With no one on the charter flight but those who are directly involved with the tour, it’s easy enough to pull out a guitar and run through some of the set list if desired. By the time the charter lands, quite a bit is accomplished and the musicians feel better prepared for the next show.

The bottom line is that traveling musicians can utilize the setting for a charter flight in ways that would be impossible on a commercial one. In terms of providing a place to sleep, plan, or just get away from the madness that is often associated with touring, it’s hard to beat this solution. After opting for this approach to travel, the idea of booking commercial flights will definitely be off the table.

There’s “gaming” versions of almost every product out there, and a lot of them treat it like a gimmick or branding tool, but that’s not always the case. Modern videogames rely on sound, meaning that many gaming headphones provide a much higher level of sound quality then you might expect. But are they worth picking up compared to the normal variety, or are they still more of a gimmick product if you’re not a massive fan of gaming in general?

Style

The visual style of some headphones obviously won’t affect their quality all that much, but it’s hard to just ignore the differences in design. Some have built-in pulsing lights and large, fancy shapes whereas others are streamlined to be as dark and low-profile as possible, but all of them have a particular niche that they can fit into. If you want headphones with lava-coloured orange lights that fade in and out, you can get them! On the other hand, if you want something that looks professional and sleek, that’s an option too!

Not everybody will care about this, of course, but there’s a large subset of people who want to be sure that their headphones match their clothing. Even better, most gaming headphones aren’t actually branded in a way that makes it clear that they’re gaming headphones: there’s very few that contain any gaming references whatsoever, apart from maybe a small graphic of the manufacturer’s logo.

Connection Types

Very few gaming headphones are exclusive to a single connection method. Many will use USB connections, especially if they’re built for PC gamers, but that isn’t the only choice out there. For example, some PS4 gaming headphones have connections that would work with other mobile devices, and more still are completely wireless headphones that can be linked to a wide range of devices.

The benefits of this are easy enough to understand: PS4 headphones, just like any headphones, can be connected to almost anything that has the right kind of port, so you’re no more limited than if you bought regular music or video-watching headphones.

Microphones

A lot of gaming headphones come with their own microphones, mainly the larger PC-focused designs. In almost every case, you can fold this microphone up against the side of the headphone’s main body to get it out of the way, but having that option can come in handy more often than you might think. For example, if you regularly take important phone calls while listening to music on your mobile device, having a microphone can drastically increase the quality of your voice and make you easier to understand.

Microphones are also a useful option for plenty of other purposes: leaving voicemails, recording audio reminders for yourself, practicing hobbies like singing or even just adding to the aesthetics of your outfit.

Audio Quality

Audio quality in gaming headphones is usually at least slightly higher than non-gaming headphone styles, with some companies creating insanely high-quality headphones that provide incredible audio fidelity. A large part of this is due to the fact that many modern games use sound as part of the experience, so companies are generally pushed to try and create headphones that can live up to those standards.

Unlike regular music headphones, gaming headphones also have a high chance of either blocking out sound, preventing the audio from leading out to people around you, or both. This can be good if you’re wanting to make sure that you’re not disturbing other people, and can make it much easier to listen to music or other types of entertainment without having it covered up with background noise.

Volume Adjustments

One of the most overlooked features of gaming headphones is the ability to adjust the volume. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a button-based system or a dial that you can turn – a lot of gaming headphones have some kind of tool in place to let you adjust how loud the audio is, as well as a way to mute the microphone (if it has one) or even temporarily “deafen” them by turning off any incoming audio entirely. This can all be extremely convenient and adds another layer of usability, especially if you’re planning to use them at work or in another situation where you’ll have to suddenly pause the audio to handle something else.

The most certain thing about life is change. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re always prepared for it. This said, moving from one state to another can’t be easy on you, whether it’s for a good course or not. Leaving behind familiarity; the friends, the mall, the street, the nice lad at the ice cream shop, your co-worker… the list is endless. They are small things, but they mean everything.
