headphones
Unless I'm mistaken, the pinnae are considered to have a meaningful
effect on the "energy balance" of the sounds entering the canal.
They do, but it's not the most significant effect that causes the
headphone response to differ from the standard ear.
It is measurable, though. And when the headphone alters the
shape of the earlobe that causes measurable response changes too.
No argument. So why do we generally agree on the relative quality of
headphones?
