The audio characteristics of headphones can also be objectively measured using test gear. rtings.com has a very nice database with comprehensive measurements for a large number of headphones.
- falcolas 7y agoTrue - there an objective method of measuring headphones. That said, what headphones sound good to me, with my "slight" hearing loss and a taste for both classical and dubstep, will be different than what sounds good to you.
- Youden 7y agoI found rtings' database was good for regular consumer stuff like gaming headsets and noise cancelling stuff for planes but it was quite limited when it comes to "audiophile" brands. This website had much better coverage of those brands: https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/catalog-reports.php?sp_1=1&tp=1 https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/catalog-reports.php?... The UI is a bit of a mess though, you need to select a "User" or "Pro" report on the device's page (which otherwise doesn't tell you anytihng). Here are some example reports: User: https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/user-report.php?id=789&page=hp-meze-99-classic https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/user-report.php?id=7... Pro: https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/report/hp/meze-99-classic.php https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/report/hp/meze-99-cl... I honestly have no clue what I'm looking at here though. While I'm at it, the AudioScienceReview forums (http://audiosciencereview.com/ http://audiosciencereview.com/) have nice comprehensive measurements of the other things you might find in an audio setup (e.g. amps, players, DACs etc., even USB-C dongles).
