Does long hair destroy the soundstage?


I have noticed that people with thick long hair covering the ears (often women) do not hear some of the finer aspects of the sound like soundstage, and therefore dont get as much enjoyment from high end systems.
I have checked this out myself once when we were going to a fancy dress party and I was dressed as a rock star with long wig. I have also asked a couple of women to put their hair behind their ears and tell me if it sounds different or better, but that was not as definitive.
Could this be a factor explaining why most people in here are men?

I would suspect the majority of the benefit from removing one's glasses is that if you can't see very well to look around the room you'll be forced to focus more on the music. Ever close your eyes while listening?

As for Kenny G, who said he was an audiophile? It was simply stated that his music is geared more for women than men.

I generally prefer the sound of my speakers with the grills on, but Focals expose the tweeter above the grills. I did prefer the grills off on my previous speakers where the tweeter was covered.

I really like the strength to hair length reference, great! If it's true I should be bald.
The only time long hair will have an adverse affect on the ability to hear inner detail and soundstaging is if the hair is growing out of your ears.

The truth is most women have better hearing than men. They just have more important things to do with their time.

Yeah right, like fuss with their hair.
