I was helping my girlfriend's son study physics tonight and the topic was waves. He had a lot of questions on the speed of sound in different mediums and Doppler effect etc...
It just had me thinking and I wanted to sort of throw my thinking out and make sure it's "sound"....
No Doppler effect in headphones, everything is stationary.
The speed of those little sound waves can't be any different or changed by drivers... Once it is in the air in the headphone it's going to travel at the same speed in that medium, air.... Right? No driver can make them travel any faster or slower.
Just thinking out loud and looking for a sounding board. For once homework was interesting for me too!
