Wouldn’t it be much better if you did it? You know, third party independent testing, verification & validation. please note that Schumann frequency generators have been extensively reviewed by audiophile mags for a very long time. Of course there will always be outliers, people who don’t get good results. We can throw them out, no? Besides, as I’ve already indicated I’ve been testing all week. Unlike the skeptics, I might add.
I don't have a generator. If you want to send me one for testing, I would be willing to try it. I don't care to own a gadget like that myself.
As far as audio magazine testing, so what. What do they do to tell apart a Schumann generater from any other pulsed 7.85 Hz generator? Read the label to see what the name on it says?

I’ve been testing the acoustic Schumann frequency videos from YouTube. Maybe I wasn’t clear. 😬
And I already said youtube videos have lossy compressed sound, so you don't know what you're getting.
Also, just because pulsed 7.85Hz is one way to get that frequency into your brain doesn't mean its the the only way. Summing two frequencies that differ by 7.85Hz will produce a 7.85Hz beat note. Because its a beat note (an interference pattern/amplitude envelope) not a frequency, your stereo can reproduce the effect without needing FR down to 7.85Hz.
Again, if this stuff does work to affect sound perception then figuring out the physical mechanism probably shouldn't be all that hard to do.

It is anecdotal. And if a real effect exists then any connection with Shumann frequency may be nothing more than coincidence. A real effect, if it exists, doesn't have be presented or explained away as some magical mystery.
EDIT: I would also just mention that anecdotal evidence can be a type of evidence. I sometimes point out that the first reported observation of a Solition wave occurred before the theory was understood and confirmed. That didn't make the observation initially meaningless.
Also, as Popper pointed out, sometimes metaphysics can precede science:
Popper, in opposition to Logical Positivists' meaningfulness criterion, claimed that metaphysics may be meaningful, while it is not a science. Calling a set of currently untestable ideas as metaphysical, he claimed that they may be testable in future, so that we may regard a set of metaphysical ideas as protoscience.

You say anecdotal, I say observation. You know, part of the scientific method. I saw an Apple fall from the tree. In that vein.
I’m still waiting for someone to validate what I am hearing, or refute it, or verify it. Or falsify it. Take your pick. Meanwhile I’m enjoying all the logical fallacies. Keep ‘em coming!

To the effect that 'Schumann waves must be involved' is a logical fallacy. Please don't keep 'em coming.
EDIT:
Regarding your wait, what is your falsifiable claim?
To help clarify, if you were to claim something like listening to music while smoking pot usually turns out to be enjoyable, that's not really falsifiable so it can't be considered a scientific claim.

As the guy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest said to fellow inmates when he was unsuccessful in lifting the 300 lbs water cooler, well at least I tried.
Pot IS cheaper than audiophoolia, and cheaper than most serious high performance stuff (where the price does in fact matter). Smoke away, and listen to the TV speakers, and be happy?
But cannibus is a constant expense, a HiFi bit is one & done (unless an addict like may of us)… how many amps do you have? How many loudspeakers? How many drivers?

I'd say if the Schumann stuff really worked, every equipment showroom in the world (and Best Buy) would have those generators set up all over the place. Wherever there's a buck to be made; if you can bend people's perception toward feeling good or sensing good (look how vivid those colors are on that screen), they're going to spend their money right then and there.
Reads like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen. "They committed an assault on me by manipulating my brain with waves from a brain-control machine without my permission, and then used it to trick me into buying something that turned out to be crap!"

Not if you grow it. 😉
It seems that in Canada up to 4 plants can be grown per household...
