Mickey Mouse Ears


Let's do an experiment.  While listening to your music system from your ideal seating position, cup both of your hands and place them behind your ears facing the speakers.  Do you like it?  Does it sound better?  There is no doubt it sounds different.  It is not like trying to determine if there is a difference between one cable and another.  I think maybe it does sound better, at least in some qualities.  It's louder for sure.  It's kind of like putting on headphones.  A lot of people probably think headphones sound better than speakers.
If it does sound better in any way, why has no one invented audiophile Micky Mouse ears to wear on your head, too funny looking?  How about a high back chair with reflectors built into the headrest?  What do you think?  Should I run out and get a patent?

Wow, so somebody already invented them, I've never seen that.  I guess I'm not getting rich today.  I didn't read all 538 Amazon reviews, but one said "particularly useful with classical orchestral music. The violins are heard much clearer and are more separated".  I am curious to know if anyone has ever used them for home stereo listening.
Yes tvad, I thought this subject might have been discussed before, but I didn't know what subject to search under,  probably not Mickey Mouse ears.  Heck, I admit it, I just got lazy, and wanted hear some quick answers without doing a lot of searching.
