Not just timing. Variation in frequecy range according to the expectation of a certains amplification by the ear can also give clue of position in 3D space. There are some video on some science channel that had fun putting some play doh on their ears lobes and compare how well they could place object being blindfolded. By changing the shape of their ear lobes, the way sound is amplified changes. For some, you could end inverting sounds coming from in front and behind or above and below. The brain is doing a lot.
What about binaural tuned to your HRTF? That way you get the true sense of space when using headphones when your environment is dead (no reflections/added noiss). Also for open backs, wont music come out from the rear of one side and get reflected in the room and enter into the other ear cup and give additional cues, skewing the actual imaging?
Can you discuss some suggestions to enjoy poorly recorded music in a high end setup? A lot of my old favorites have become unlistenable.. 😅 Thank you for this video! ❤️
Also, could yall discuss binaural recordings, whether it is the best recording method, and also whether it should be used on iems or headphones? That would make a really entertaining and informative video too. Thanks so much and this was a wonderful video! C ya
Timing. Spot on. For me, this is a quality of headphone playback that matters to me. And even tho I cannot claim to know perfect timing, I know I'm looking- so to speak, for this quality. The same goes for speaker set up. I sort of know that the room is capturing sound in areas and it will sound congested ...er, somehow.
make good quality hardware more accessible (cheaper) pursue economies of scale with smart material substitutions , good design choices and automated manufacturing ) , market it better and recoup your margins at higher end models - too much over priced gear in the audiophile world
So how does Sonos sense the room and adapt the output and does that actually work in your opinion. I’d love some active KEFs for simplicity in my loft office.. with 3 small windows.. is there a model online or an app to figure out acoustically how good or bad a room is?

Thanks for the book reccomendation! im writing a dissertation on how building accoustics affect its' occupants. These videos always get me thinking
No problem, you’ll find the readings invaluable over the course of time. Amazon link amzn.to/3q5jJ2w
Abyss will likely in both price and quality be out of my range, but these guys are interesting to listen to.
I am loving going through all these videos! 🙌 so insightful

Put some more forgiving headphones on, and/or a tube amp.
Reefer.
Put two forks in each ear... It shouldnt be bothering you anymore
Verite closed plus tubes will make everything sound good.
it would be interesting to hear a band play an album surrounding a mic in the middle of room for true surround sound listening experience
The thing about practice and fooling the brain. I try listening to music with eyes open and closed and the difference is really big, even on an iem.
Another hack is don't look at screen, look at a wall and concentrate on music, it makes a big difference
Don't close your eyes

This was really informative. Now I know I won't get into speakers until I have money. Great video!

Room acoustics is such a PITA
Pure wisdom, ace content from the chief
What would be a good way to get more people into the audiophile world?
Giving free trials in many places...and advertising
From my own experience, letting others test out gear is the best way to get them involved

Letting them try some incredible headphones
I don't know. Please bring DMS more

Look for room correction software there are plenty of options available.
Ceiling corners are the worst
