have you ever been super excited to try a shiny new set of headphones you
plunked down a bunch of money on but walked away feeling like the sound just
wasn't quite what you expected maybe you got drawn in by an expensive marketing
campaign for a pair of headphones that couldn't possibly live up to all the
hype but you may have also overlooked their frequency response one of the key
things that separates one set of headphones from another but often only
gets one little line on a spec sheet usually a headphone manufacturer will
describe frequency response as has a range of tones that a headphone can
reproduce you might see something like 20 to 20,000 Hertz for example which
also happens to be the range of human hearing since most people can't hear
lower than 20 HZ or higher than 20,000 Herz it might at first look like a cheap
pair of headphones that lists this as its frequency response can reproduce
every sound you could ever want to hear unfortunately though those numbers are
only a pretty small part of the story because different headphones are
constructed in different ways there are pretty significant differences between
how various models will reproduce sounds within the low mid and high ranges even
if a headphone promises a frequency response well beyond your range of
hearing every frequency might not be reproduced with the same loudness or
Clarity the result could make you end up feeling like you're listening to
something through a pretty bad equalizer even if you're not using one at all so
how can you know whether a particular pair of headphones will sound the way
you expect while this can be pretty tricky until you actually try them out
many popular headphone models have been tested by various independent websites
and even individual hobbyists with the actual frequency response being plotted
on graphs that show how loud the headphones get at each frequency many
less expensive headphones have what's called a v-shaped sound signature
meaning that they have emphasis on the bass and the treble instead of the
mid-range forming a vshape on a frequency response graph other kinds of
headphones are more Bas heavy and are louder in the low range or are bright
and have more emphasis on the treble but if you want a very true to the recording
sound that isn't skewed in any particular direction it's a good idea to
find a set of headphones with a flat or neutral sound signature that can
reproduce lows mids and highs more or
less equally and although many audio files go for neutral sounding headphones
this doesn't necessarily that they're the best for everyone for example many
people who like electronic music or hipop pop go for basier headphones that
let them feel the lows a little bit more
ultimately of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that includes
sound too so at the end of the day what's most important is buying
something that you think sounds good just don't let yourself be swayed too
much by you know celebrity endorsements or your buddy who primarily uses his
headphones as a fashion statement speaking of powerful and beautiful and
