    So, if you lost your ears, you might be able to tell what music you're hearing, but not where the speakers are.
    Before long, Bose will start recommending you cut off your ears.
    Never kick a fresh **** on a hot day.

    Bose sound implants can't be far around the corner. :rolleyes: Imagine the great sound of Bose theater with no speakers whatsoever. The WAF acceptance factor would be off the charts :D

    Get that great Bose sound with minimally invasive ear implant surgery. Atleast then most would have a true reason for selective hearing
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.
