02.22.12 | I don't really know what I'm looking for when I test out headphones, so I just made stuff up.
What songs do you use to test headphones with? |
YetAnotherBrick
02.22.12 | Converge - Concubine
for testing volume capacity XD |
ILJ
02.22.12 | I always test with For Today for dem bass drops, and then Between the Buried and Me to ensure good all around sound, and then something really bass heavy to make sure I'm not overloading. |

02.22.12 | Do Make Say Think - Do |

02.22.12 | See, bass means quite a bit to me, but I hate that some high-dollar headphones *cough*BEATS*cough* have the bass cranked so much that they overpower the mids and highs. And it sounds muddy, just straight vibration. That's cool in a car, but when I'm listening to songs on my computer, I wanna hear the entire song.
The 'phones I got are actually for studio monitoring, but they still have a nice bass response...so the bass isn't entirely flat, but it's still way more natural than most "accessory headphones." Besides...most hip-hop and modern pop songs are mixed with a heavy bass, so it's not like I need even more bass on top of that. |

That's what made me love it, too. I first heard it when I saw them live and it stayed with me the whole year. |

UnnamedOcean
02.22.12 | I usually try and pick a band that has a lot of depth to it. Some headphones don't give any separation. |
