"Hear's" an experiment........
Sit in your sweet spot, Put on your favorite "soundstage" music and,
While listening CUP your ears with your hands. I did this the other day and I have NO idea why lol. But I did it anyway to amazement of my ears and what it did to the soundstage, ambient noise, and emersion. So I tried making something that I could wear over my ears. I cut out paper cups that would sit around my ears... didn't work so well because the thinness was like nothing was there. Got online and found clear rubber cups already made for "enhance listening" and bought them. There is slight improvement but not the same as cupping with hands. So I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas because this seemed to block out ambient sound at the same time as enhancing, by a noticeable margin, the emersion and soundstage. I would also like to preempt responses suggesting, yes indeed, I am an idiot. That is already a given.
