About HeadRoom Crossfeed
Headphones are actually capable of much better sound than speakers on a performance-per-dollar basis. Why, then, don’t people use headphones more for high-end listening? The answer, we believe, is that there are some fundamentally unnatural things about the way you perceive the location of the sounds you hear on headphones, and that artificiality gets in the way of having a gratifying listening experience.
Scientists and engineers have been working on the problem of fixing the sound from headphones for a long time, but there has never been a large enough economic justification to put the necessary resources into the problem. Today, that is all beginning to change: the incredible growth inportable player use; the large numbers of people using headphones with their computers; and the generally more mobile lifestyle of today’s music and movie fan make headphone listening a potentially significant activity.
This has renewed commercial interest in solving some of the psychoacoustic problems of headphones, and has spurred a number of companies to develop products and technologies intended to make audio sound more natural on headphones.
