Reply to comment by CrelbowMannschaft in How do I listen for "detail" in music? by West-Cheek-156

You are telling me that soundstage has nothing to do with the shape of the cop, reflections within the cup and at what angle the soundwaves are actually hitting my ear? If its ALL in the frequency response, you should be able to name me one IEM that produces a HD800 like soundstage. One of them must have similar high frequencies in the ear compared to an HD800 right?

Hey, we're having a friendly conversation here.

The design of the cup is how the engineers manipulate the high frequencies that our brains and ears use to locate sound sources. Sound waves have only three characteristics: amplitude, which we hear as volume, frequency, which we hear as pitch, and start/stop times, which are easy for any device designed to vibrate 20,000 times per second. Sound has no other characteristics. But our ears and brains interpret sound waves in very complicated ways.

Edit: Just saw your stealth edit. I don't think you raised any new points for discussion with it.
