Listening to a Beatles song with one headphone be like

[justme]

Never have I seen a more relatable video

One time I used one earbud and it's like listening to the *Beatles: isolated vocals edition*

One of the speakers in my car doesn’t work so listening to the Beatles on the way to work is interesting. Most of the time I don’t hear any vocals so it gives me an opportunity to do some karaoke. Lmao

I was born with a deaf right ear so all my life I've only experienced stereo audio music with one of the earbuds. One time I listened to a song (it was not Beatles) and it had the drums isolated on one side and I had no idea I waited 30 seconds for the song to start thinking that the drums was the song's intro.

I remember when I was listening to Strawberry Fields for the first time. I experienced the same thing.

In the early days of stereo, they had no idea how to mix it, so you get hard panning. Guitars and drums in one ear, vocals and other instruments in another for instance. As we got better over the decades, we learned to create a more balanced, spacious mix, and if you listen with quality speakers, the vocals seemingly float in the air right between them.

In my teen years I spent entire afternoons alternating speakers to hear what The Beatles did and it was mind blowing AF.

LMAO, John did believe in stereo and he used it to the max in those days! ;)

The thing you don't think about is.. My wife only has one ear, so for a long time she had no idea why some songs would be missing parts. I finally was able to find earbuds with only one cable making it MONO (makes all sound go to the one earbud) So now she will never miss out on another great song.

I find it amazing though that the Beatles (and other bands like Queen) kept their tracks' stereo properties even after they got digitized, remastered and everything else. The only downside is I must have fully functioning headsets with me all the time

Watch this get recommended to everyone 7 years later

Some people prefer their music in mono. Well, I have two ears, that's why I prefer them in STEREO.

[esra]

I always find it fascinating. Nowadays they make it in very few songs but there is a huge potential actually because it makes you feel like the sound is floating in your brain I love it so much. They should do it more often.

That's why I hated hey bulldog at first because I didn't realize that one side of my earphone wasn't working 🤦‍♂️🤣.

Got the feeling that this guy will become the next pewdiepie and if not I'm glad I know this guy

Listening to the Beatles:
Left ear: 🗣🎤
Right ear: 🥁🎸🎶

I remember being 12 years old and my one of earbuds stopped working, so when I tried listening to the Beatles, all their songs sounded weird. Not sure how I didn't realize that my headphones were the issue, but I thought I was losing my mind while desperately searching the internet for the "normal versions" lol

[hippojuice]

Back when we had a balance knob on the stereo, I would listen to each channel separately, like I was deconstructing the songs, lol!

[DingleDut]

Fun fact:
Back in the 60s 70s, they used tape machines and mixers where as percussion would be planned hard left and hard right while vocals will be in mono. It's just the way it was back then.

[Frumpysoup]

This is so true. I did the same thing when listening "Hello Goodbye"
