Glasses - Effecting the sound

[Gizza]

Doing this really puts the music out of focus.

Do we need multiple pairs for surround sound?

 

[Mr Kandid]

I think these glasses are more likely to effect your senses.

Has anyone considered the weight of the spectacles' arms on the upper part of the canal that connects the pinna to the inside of the head?

i would state if your listening via headphones then yes some glasses can
interfere with the sound and comfort making it hard for you to fully relax and enjoy what is being played. Through speakers you'd have to be wearing some silly big thick comedy glasses that reflected the soundwaves.

I borrowed some glasses this morning for an experiment listening to my hi-fi.
I was surprised that my Class A powered system sounds like Class D or D minus while wearing them.
I was also surprised that the guy i borrowed them from didn't get hurt falling down the stairs.

 

[Leeken]

Did they blind test it

I believe the hard glass spectacle lenses reflect the sound and bounce it back towards surrounding hard surfaces, hence causing a pseudo echo effect. This in turn disproportionally corrupts sound wave constants, therefore destroying any possibility of perceiving a true stereo image. This whole problem is of course made much worse every time the listener or other spectacle wearers in the room move their heads. My advice would be to wear contact lenses as these are made of softer less reflective material.

There'd be some serious bass absorption going on there.

Plus some diffusion off the top

Listening to music is like having sex, I shut my eyes and dream I am with Melody Gardot!

Hmm, obviously no ambition.
You should try being the meat in a Melody Gardot, Mylene Klass sandwich

It's funny how tastes differ. Looking at those two, I'll just take the Sandwich. Thanks...

There's also the sound reflected off your facial features to take into consideration. For example, maybe audiophiles with particularly large noses should consider nose reduction surgery to enhance their listening experience...

Those with a Turkish smile will find their systems bright . Stain teeth with red wine while listening .

Should have gone to Specsavers.

So I tried it empty first and you're right the sound is definitely is not as good . Regularly topped up though and this system sounds fantastic

Every time I have a new prescription, my legs go funny when I dance. It's worse going down the stairs.

It's a joke Gizza

This device is not influenced by glasses.

You really shouldn't dance when you go down the stairs
