How Many Listeners Here Listen Mostly With Eyes Closed?


Even at live concerts I am listening with eyes closed about 80% of the time.

1st 30 min or so, eyeS opened

the rest of the day, eyeS closed - sleeping

Actually, my eyesight is around 20/200—legally blind—so you could say I have 2 × 1/2 = 1 eye. @thecarpathian

My Acoustats are in front of our living room windows which have a view of South Whidbey Island. (See my system) For casual listening, the view is quite pleasing. When listening seriously, I close the drapes which dramatically cuts down on reflections although even when open it's not bad. 

I also close my eyes which helps my mind focus on the soundstage. It's really pretty amazing, to me anyways, the difference it makes especially for small combos. 

I'm hoping our next home, which will have a dedicated music room, won't have the large windows to deal with but I'll make do wherever we wind up. wink

Happy listening.

 

Eyes open.  I have no reason to close them.  And i enjoy looking at my lovely system.
