It's fun to test what happens when you play the same wave through your headphones but one channel is inverted.

Funny enough lots of stereo widening magic relies on a physical property of sound not existing when it's in your head.

If you ever wire a loudspeaker channel the wrong way around, it feels very weird as a lot (but not all for a stereo mix) of the sound will cancel with the other channel in the middle of the speakers and you can move your head through this dead zone.

I've never tried it with headphones, but I suppose even though destructive addition isn't going to happen it might affect things like intended spatial perception.

Happened once when prepping for a language aural exam. With no immediate fix and the start of the exam pending, we moved some desks instead!
