======================
the non-linear response of headphones
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/sound-quality/raw-frequency-response
** Dear NG followers:
The odd looking response curves published on that *amateur* site are the result of the test set up - which is described in the vid as being ".... not actually made for measuring headphones ".
All the dips and peaks at top end are test anomalies, so is the LF roll off.
IMO the ONLY way to sensibly evaluate headphones is to wear and listen to them for a while.
IME ES models win, hands down on sound and comfort grounds.
It is also interesting that the site used a powerful amplifier to drive the various phones - rated at 24W into 32 ohms from its "balanced" headphone connector. That is enough to smoke most phones and your ears in a fraction of a second .
Very stupid.
