I have to agree with Chaika here. “It listens well” is an error if the person is wanting to express the idea of “It sounds good” or “It sounds correct.” “It listens well” is not a sample sentence I would ever give to a beginning student of English because the context in which it can be used is very limited. I have taught at three large American universities, and I have never once in my life heard it.Originally Posted by emeraldeyez
