00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:05.600
have you ever been super excited to try a shiny new set of headphones you

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:10.160
plunked down a bunch of money on but walked away feeling like the sound just

00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:13.839
wasn't quite what you expected maybe you got drawn in by an expensive marketing

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.039
campaign for a pair of headphones that couldn't possibly live up to all the

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:22.119
hype but you may have also overlooked their frequency response one of the key

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:26.880
things that separates one set of headphones from another but often only

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.359
gets one little line on a spec sheet usually a headphone manufacturer will

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:35.239
describe frequency response as has a range of tones that a headphone can

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:40.360
reproduce you might see something like 20 to 20,000 Hertz for example which

00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:45.079
also happens to be the range of human hearing since most people can't hear

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:50.440
lower than 20 HZ or higher than 20,000 Herz it might at first look like a cheap

00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:55.239
pair of headphones that lists this as its frequency response can reproduce

00:00:52.480 --> 00:01:00.079
every sound you could ever want to hear unfortunately though those numbers are

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:03.359
only a pretty small part of the story because different headphones are

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.600
constructed in different ways there are pretty significant differences between

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:11.960
how various models will reproduce sounds within the low mid and high ranges even

00:01:10.119 --> 00:01:16.240
if a headphone promises a frequency response well beyond your range of

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:20.360
hearing every frequency might not be reproduced with the same loudness or

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:24.240
Clarity the result could make you end up feeling like you're listening to

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:27.200
something through a pretty bad equalizer even if you're not using one at all so

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:31.640
how can you know whether a particular pair of headphones will sound the way

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:35.920
you expect while this can be pretty tricky until you actually try them out

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.600
many popular headphone models have been tested by various independent websites

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:44.719
and even individual hobbyists with the actual frequency response being plotted

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.600
on graphs that show how loud the headphones get at each frequency many

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.240
less expensive headphones have what's called a v-shaped sound signature

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:56.119
meaning that they have emphasis on the bass and the treble instead of the

00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.280
mid-range forming a vshape on a frequency response graph other kinds of

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:04.840
headphones are more Bas heavy and are louder in the low range or are bright

00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:08.800
and have more emphasis on the treble but if you want a very true to the recording

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:13.480
sound that isn't skewed in any particular direction it's a good idea to

00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:18.280
find a set of headphones with a flat or neutral sound signature that can

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.239
reproduce lows mids and highs more or

00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:24.360
less equally and although many audio files go for neutral sounding headphones

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.560
this doesn't necessarily that they're the best for everyone for example many

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:35.440
people who like electronic music or hipop pop go for basier headphones that

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:37.200
let them feel the lows a little bit more

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:41.040
ultimately of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that includes

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:44.879
sound too so at the end of the day what's most important is buying

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:49.200
something that you think sounds good just don't let yourself be swayed too

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:54.239

00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:58.239
