IEM expert Precogvision gives his take on reports of detail retrieval in in-ear headphones. Oftentimes when someone listens to an headphone or IEM, they'll describe the sound as more or less "detailed", or having better "technicalities". But then anyone unfamiliar with how these words get used will give the understandable rebuttal of "but what is detail? show me detail", to which no answer can typically be given. In this video, Precogvision provides an explanation, and examines some of the reasons for these reports, what they often refer to and how to make sense of them.

I sometimes imagine Audiophiles losing sleep at night, thinking "Another day, another bit of lost detail [that I'll never hear again!]"

Good takes! I really like the breakdown of different possible meanings of "detail" and their explanations, I agree with a lot. I hadn't considered your final suggestion that tasteful coloration of tuning can be pivotal in creating a sense of detail, but your description does remind me of processing photographs and being intentional with contrast to draw attention to details. Though a big difference here is that processing photos like that typically requires manual response to the source material -- whereas a headphone tuning acts more like a film simulation that operates the same regardless of the photo it's applied to. The effects can be similar still.

As a psychologist, I appreciate how true to psychoacoustics and perceptionism your information is. Very objective in general.

This is possibly @precogvision's best video to date. The amount of science backed evidence along with clear and understandable explanations is an absolute flex of brain power from someone who has very clearly put a lot of time, effort, and dedication into the field. Gonna need some more of this from you, Theo.

Open a photo in an editor and dial up the “sharpness” slider. You’re shifting the frequency response of the photo and emphasizing the high spatial frequencies. Your perception is of “more detail” as it’s “sharper”. The detail was always there. You just emphasized a component of it.

Great simple explanation about cutting off frequencies aboves 10khz causes loss in details, there is a sumilar effect on soundstage loss when you cut off bass frequencies below 60hz

In sports psych, I was taught that we don’t “lose focus” but simply our attention is shifted elsewhere. Appreciate the video talking about that as I don’t see many (as I recall) who do. Regarding constantly changing HRTF, variable frequency hyperacusis is a bitch 😂😭

Details also depending who we are talking to, like from someone that use mass market earphones and pass them some hobbyist IEM and they will say wow lots of details but matter of fact it’s just trebles and high boosted
