The subjectivity of speaker quality


Just for the fun it, while listening to your speakers with your favorite piece of music, cup your hands behind your ears and listen for a few minutes. I am blown away by the incredible change in the sound of the music when I do this. With this in mind it is no wonder that there likely will never be any real agreement on what speakers are the "best" sounding. Maybe all speaker reviewers should first reveal the size of their ears and a copy of their latest hearing test!! It's all fun.

Years ago some one marketed do-hickeys that slipped behind ones ears to do just what you described. I think they were called "good listeners" or something like that.

Correct product, wrong name. They were called "Sildenafil Citrate Ears"
I got a haircut the other day and the lady cutting spent an inordinate amount of time removing hair from inside my ears. Wow, amazing sonic improvement. Shaving my head next.
If your wife laughs at your audio quirks now, imagine sitting there with Silden.....what Albert said.
