What is a good headphone frequency response?
When it comes to frequency response range, so long as a pair of headphones is capable of reproducing sound in the audible range of 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz, it is considered good. Having this range means it will produce all frequencies in the audible range of human hearing.
How can I compare two headphones?
The easiest way to compare two headphones is using one song, or even better, just part on song on a loop. Go back and forth a few times, you should start to be able to pick out differences. Focus on one aspect, be it the bass, the treble, or the mid-range, and compare that.
What is earphone matching?
Impedance matching between headphone and source is done to ensure a good combination of sound quality and sufficient volume. A match means 'complimentary' not 'equal'. Pairing a headphone with an impedance of 2.5-8 times higher than the source impedance should yield good results.
