Another Free Tip That Yields Better Sound!


If you wear glasses, take them off when listening. It works for me. Those hard, reflective surfaces in close proximity to your ears...
Obviously, this tip only applies to listening to speakers, not headphones!!!

Been aware of the cupped ears results for decades. Also had in mind to develop a product, but as geoffkait stated, it's a mixed bag of results. Yes, the sound is louder, but I've observed it also affects other aspects such as soundstage. Ultimately, I decided I didn't care for the results. YMMV, as always...

I wear contacts during the day and glasses at night and have noticed I much prefer listening to my system with the contacts in. Its rather distracting when I have glasses on so it makes me wonder about this.
@toddverrone....
I listen naked, so I can feel the sound waves with my body hairs. Not free, though, because of bail
Nobody told you clothing is mandatory for in-store auditions?

I've posted the glasses thing a few years ago....its true.   Another thing is if you don't have carpet, put a small rug in front of each speaker.
@stringreen , sorry, didn't know you already had covered this. Ironically, Jim Smith very briefly touches on this topic in his book, yet all the illustrations show someone listening with their glasses on!!!
