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"

Correct product, wrong name. They were called "Sildenafil Citrate Ears"
Here is a link to "Sildenafil Citrate" I understand this is perfect for long, hard listening sessions.

Perky ears

WARNING, recent reports say the enhanced listening experience is merely placebo effect from partial blindness.
