With headphones, the shape of the ear is not put to good use either. The sound comes from the side and is not far from getting straight in the ear canal. But even if the pinnae is imposing it's signature, it will be for sounds fired on the side, horizontally. And I hear them like they're coming from the top...
I wonder if that is part of why Sony MDR 7510 works better than most to prevent center imaging from going straight to the top of my skull. The drivers in the ear pieces are angled maybe some 20 degrees so sound comes more forward than is the norm with most phones.
