How do you listen to music?

>>74318554
I do sit down with headphones, close my eyes, and listen to albums start-to-finish- but it's not as often as it should be. I got some nice cans but no preamp.

Honestly though most of music listening is in my car or on my speakers at my desk at home while I'm browsing.

You allow the vibrations in the air to pass through your ear holes.

Usually headphones while I'm at my computer, playing games, insulting friends on Discord, or all three. If I want to focus more on a listen (like for rating's sake), I stick to browsing or leave my computer all together and walk around the house listening to albums on my phone. I have two stereo systems too that I use from time-to-time, mostly just while cleaning up.

>listening to music

I tend to have music playing 24/7 so either apple plebphones when I'm out or expensive headphones/dac/amp while at home.

I don't sit down and do nothing but enjoy an album enough.

I know how to listen to music, ya dingus. I'm asking /mu/ about their personal experiences.

Sound is vibrating air molecules, the bigger the vibration the deeper the sound. When this vibration reaches the ear it is collected by the pinna and funneled through the auditory canal. Like any tube, the auditory canal has it's own resonant frequency, for the human ear canal this is typically somewhere between 2-4 kHz. This resonance will amplify the signal at these frequencies. At the end of the ear canal, there is the Tympanic Membrane or "ear drum", when the vibrating air hits the TM it also vibrates at the same vibrating frequency as the air was, the energy from the vibration then travels down 3 vibrating bones called ossicles that are all connected from the TM to the oval window of the cochlea; the cochlea being the organ of hearing. Because. the Cochlea is fulled with fluid, and the sound travels best and originated in air, there will be some attenuation of sound at about 30dB as the vibration travels from the air based Middle ear system to the fluid based Inner ear system (cochlea), the ossicles job is to compensate for this loss by amplifying the sound before it reaches the cochlea, so there is no level loss. one inside the cochlea the vibration travels down the Basilar Membrane which had thousands of hair cells along it, these are all tuned tonotopically, much like a piano, where the hair cells that represent high frequency sounds are at the basal end of the cochlear and it gets deeper as it moves towards the apex. The vibration stops at the hair cell that matches the frequency of the incoming signal, the hair cell creates an action potential that fires of the signal through the auditory nerve, where it travelles along the auditory pathway up the lower brain-stem and into the auditory cortex located in the temporal lobe.
