In my personal opinion, the best way to enjoy sound is through earphones or headphones. Even cheap IEMs are pretty decent these days. Like I can get good ones for less than 2k INR. I always watch movies at home for this reason. Movie theatre sound setup sounds really bad.

The best way to enjoy sound is by listening to rocks smacking together in person. Chanting is fine too, as long as you acknowledge the sun god

I feel you because I also love my headphones. However, you've probably never listened to music in a room designed for music with speakers designed for music. It's really something to behold. Unfortunately you have to also be rich

Actually being in the room with the band or orchestra is the best way IMO. Never experienced a sound system that can replicate the way you feel the music with your body as well as hearing it.
