Superhuman hearing - Headphones vs loudspeakers & how audiophiles hear things others can't

This video was inspired by a visitor to our Belgian Listening Room. The video started out as a comparison between the way we hear on headphones compared with in-room stereo, and ended up covering how we hear, Tinnitus and the controversial topic of how audiophiles hear things that others can't! Topics: 00:00 - Introduction 01:55 - Question - how do wear hear low frequencies in rooms shorter than the wavelength? 03:43 - Coming to two channel stereo from headphones 05:10 - How we hear a realistic soundstage with stereo loudspeakers 12:00 - How we hear, how our ears turn soundwaves into signals to our brain 13:39 - Tinnitus, what it is and why it disturbs us and its impact on how audiophiles hear? 17:57 - How we hear things that others don't 21:46 - Final comments on the difference between headphones and loudspeakers 22:46 - The answer to the question 26:00 - The importance of room acoustics Spotify link to song mentioned in video: 'Linda Paloma' by Jackson Browne: https://open.spotify.com/track/2eEVA9...
