Music to test headphones
Each page plays a track chosen for one part of the sound, followed by sound effects that test that part on its own. Switch between them with the tabs above.
- Balance: whether bass, voices and treble come through at a similar level.
- Details: quiet sounds behind the main melody.
- Bass: how low the headphones go and how tight the bass is.
- Midrange: voices, guitars and piano.
- Treble: cymbals, trumpets and the upper frequency limit.
- Soundstage: the direction and distance of sounds.
- Polyrhythm: whether two rhythms at different speeds stay separate.
How to test headphones with music
- Set the volume to the level you usually listen at.
- Play the track, then the sound effects under it.
- To compare headphones or speakers, play the same page on each of them.
To check that the left and right channels work, use the left and right headphone test.
