What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

"If your system does not sound better with your eyes closed you have work to do."
mijostyn,
I truly have empathy for your past coworkers and friends. You are the archetypal  inflexible know-it-all. Just because science favors lights-out doesn't mean others can't process musical input just as effectively with the lights on.  

Narrow mind are unable to understand subtleness of phenomena...

Music is easy to focus on eyes closed for all people, but opening eyes  modify the relation we entertain with imaging....I said modify not necessarily improve...

Then listening eyes opened can make sense ....To accentuate not the perception of timbre (eyes closed is better) but for modifying our relation with imaging, in particular our relation between sound and our body location ....

It is not science, i will let narrow mind think they speak for science itself, it is only my experience in my listenings experiments....

+1 mahgister.

I agree with myself twice.. eyes open and eyes closed.

Eyes Open gives you a sense of space and proportions to other objects in the room


When I sense that my stage is slightly left or right and then adjust the balance the vocalist in the center ...half of that image  is taller than the other half. Strange but true. I then re center the balance control the center image comes together in height. Tom

Dear @mijostyn : ""  Music always sounds better with the lights out ""

That could means that when you attended to a music hall where always ligths are on at the stage and you are listening say the Beethoven 9th are you listen all the score with your eyes closed?

If yes, then you are very well trained about but please tell me which specific and critical differences for the " better " can we achieve and listen in true if any?

Human been brain is almost unknowed  in its whole " operation " and how " react " against any single every kind of stimulation to any of our senses. 

If we close the eyes inmediatly our brain " produce " several kind of " images " that could me different every time we do it and depends on our age and all the information the brain has in " stock " information accumalated at each single milsecond of all those aged years.

How can we avoid those facts for the brain can't do that and concentrates only and only in what we are listening/music when we are so sensitive to any stimulation even other kind of very tiny noises that always exist at our place?

Btw, scientific evidence says no one knows not even 20% of the human been brain.  We can't predict its behavior.
