Actually, it really works and there are both subjective and objective data to back up the claim.<br><br>I'm a clinical auduiologist who has completed a research project relevant to the Whoomp by placing a probe microphone at the tympanic membrane and measuring thr frequency response of music supplied through an iPod. This was done with standard Nano earbuds and the Comply product, over 4 subjects (so far).<br><br>While there was an overall enhancement in frequency response, the most noteable improvement was in the low frequencies. That enhancement was of the magnitude of 30-40 dB, making for a significant improvement in the quality of the sound.<br><br>Your doubt can be alleviated immediately by simply trying the product. I plan to repeat the study with a recorded pure tone or NBN sweep, but anticipate the same results.<br><br>Hope this helps.<br><br>K.E. Smith, Ph.D.Kenneth E.
