Re: Headphone knowledge ????
Suppose a lot depends on the input volume of sound into the headphones. Too much and any will distort the sound . Also I suppose one has to consider pitch as well, too deep a sound can be just as annoying as one that is too high.Re: Headphone knowledge ????
Re: Headphone knowledge ????
The problem with headphones is that you need to find the 'one' that is right you YOU. I have damaged hearing and for years upon years been searching for a pair of headphones that was compatible with my range of hearing problems. When living in Shropshire, I was lucky enough to live near a town that had 2 excellent hi-fi shops (Shrewsbury) and back in the day both shops would have rows of headphones on display that people could test out. They would go from the ridiculously cheap to the ridiculously expensive. What I learnt from that experience is that when it comes to someone who has damaged hearing, the more expensive a headphone does not mean the best one suited for you. Both shops would constantly change out old models for new and that's when I found the right pair for me. A Sony MDR-1R. At the time was very expensive (over £200) but I waited for the right priced one to appear on ebay .Re: Headphone knowledge ????
When my ex took a hike with the kids when I lived in Italy, I went out and splashed a few hundred squid on a pair of studio grade over-the-ear Sennheiser head phones. They were stunning in their comfort and musical reproduction. Regrettably, a few months before Val and I returned to the UK, we had a break in and the barstewards took them along with all of V's jewelery, ~250 squid we kept as a reserve, video player, and other stuff. I've never got round to replacing the head phones with like-for-like.Re: Headphone knowledge ????
Hearing is a puzzling thing. My hearing is generally better than my partner's yet she can hear sounds that I cannot. For instance our fridge/freezer has a warning sound when a door is open which she can hear clearly and I don't, yet she needs the volume on the TV turned high. Something to do with sound waves I am told.
