RE: Headphones...

The ability to "easily hear" differences in polarity does not seem to be a prevalent trait, but a small minority of the our population is unusually sensitive to polarity.

I wouldn't say that polarity is inaudible because I think that I can hear changes in polarity in some instances, but at the same time, it might be possible for me to train myself to alert to things that might ordinarily pass by unnoticed. Engineers and other obsessive-compulsive types might train themselves to become unusually alert to such things in the same way that white supremacists might train themselves to become unusually alert to variations in skin and eye color within a large crowd of people. Eagle eyes and Beagle ears have something in common, but to the eyes and ears of more easy-going creatures certain types of details simply aren't worth fretting over.
