Everybody does do, but audiophiles are a tricky bunch to market to. Stuff like this really gets their attention. If they found out that they could buy their $350 headphones for $150, they might not buy either because they're "not expensive enough to sound good."
- cma 16y agoIt could turn out well for them; all these people thinking they are hacking the system to pay $150 and save $200 when in fact both sets are actually worth $15 or less.
- jamesaguilar 16y agoI'll bet none of them could tell the difference between with foam and without foam, either.
- colanderman 16y agoI doubt this is true. See those holes near the bottom / on the back of your computer speakers? Play some music and shove your thumb in them while it's playing. You'll hear the difference. Air needs to move for sound to exist, even in the direction away from your ear. If stuff's in the way, the sound's going to be muffled.
- epochwolf 16y agoThere is a huge difference. I have a pair of Grados with hard, open foam pads. They came with soft, closed foam. The closed foam covers the speaker and you get muffled sound. I am not an avid audiophile but I have mixed music for my church some years in the past.
