Latencies that seemed fine to me through speakers have often become noticeable when using headphones. Likewise being closer to speakers/monitors, one is often more likely to notice latency issues. This makes me wonder whether our brain hasn't got built-in compensation for room accoustics peculiarity. Does any one know of theory/research supporting this idea?
