A headphone jack is nothing more than a port/connective device. Binksternet ( talk) 19:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC) Reply When I went through computer class, an output device was defined as something that interprets signals from the computer and converts them to signals a human can understand. the audiophile is probably looking for the holy grail of headphones - one that can reproduce all gendres of music equally well with equal aplumb.I have deleted Headphones as an output device because headphones are not a basic computer component. there are many here who can not accept anything less than total neutrality in their sound. some people prefer bass (bass heads), others prefer mids (mid head) and still others prefer highs (high heads). overall there should be an overall agreement, but there should also be minute comparative differences. and your comparison will probably not jive with someone else doing the same comparison. then you can say that the first headphones sound more coloured than the second, the bass sounds bloated compared to the second, the second sounds bright compared to the first, etc. "airy" can be manipulated by amplifiers, especially if they have separate power supplies. If you really want to know what these things mean, you'll have to take two different headphones and compare them. wearing the headphones correctly did not produce the same effect, nor did it travel in front of my neck. it was not in the middle of my head, nor above it. there was a certain riff that actually travelled around the back of my neck, from the right channel to the left. i was listening to a song and i reversed the cups so that the left channel was on the right ear, and visa versa. I actually heard something strange the other day. Will everyone agree to what I said? HELL NO! Open - good positioning, sounds don't smudge togetherĪiry - large soundstage with large space between instruments, but there is a sense of greater depth of the soundstage which seems to extend forward and backward. Neutral - no one range predominates, not too bright, not too forward, not to bassy. the bump has a short width, a hump has a wide width. a "thud" sound.įlat - all instrument intensities are reproduced with same volume or powerīumps/humps - short intensity (usually under 5 dB) / higher intensity (usually over 5 dB), usually covers no more than 1000 Hz in width. the bass note affects frequencies around it more than it should. Loose - soundwave overshoot, usually refers to bass being flabby. in some instances bad sound decay, decay, decay. the bass note does not extend past it's initial frequency.Ĭolored - extra body, an excessive warmth, usually denotes the vocal spectrum. a "twang" instead of a "thung", no "thud" sound. when referring to bass, it's as if someone hit a kettle drum and then stopped the membrane from decaying by putting their hand over the membrane. Tight - slight distortion (soundwave undershoot), sounds restrained. Tinny - too much treble or not enough bass and midrange recessed highs: sharp rolloff of high frequencies. Recessed (mids, highs, lows) - recessed mids are where the bass and treble are higher than the mids, but usually refers to the vocals being not forward enough, they sound quieter than the surrounding music. it may have a large midrange hump and then dips after 2kHz.īloated - usually refers to lower to mid-bass, covers a large frequency range (usually about 500 Hz in width) A clockwise tilt is a frequency response which goes downward in an ever increasing slope (no treble).
