Pink noise is a mix of all frequencies, used mostly (or exclusively as I know it) to "burn in" headphones.

I'm glad you didn't put neutral in there. (I hate that word)
I prefer ..
Transparent - Easy to hear into the music, detailed, clear, not muddy. Wide flat frequency response, sharp time response, very low distortion and noise. A hear through quality that is akin to clarity and reveals all aspects of detail.
Like looking through a clear glass window into the music.
Good job.

In his book "Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science" by Bob Katz, one of the legends in the recording industry, there is a frequency chart that lists terms such as nasal, boomy, boxy, fat, harsh, roomy, extended, etc. and matches them to specific frequency ranges.
http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Audi...9658242&sr=8-1
The terms go back to the late 1940's if I remember correctly. I have the book and find it very useful for understanding not just how to describe sound, but how a true audio engineer goes through the process of creating a recording.
Here is the link to the chart page, which may or may not work since it's

http://www.amazon.com/gp/sitbv3/read...slHFkg7Aht2eE=
Anyhow it's on page 43.
Highly recommended.

Awesome,
I was going to start a similar thread, but with general terms like 'Cans, IEMs, E2c, UE11's' with terms that we all use and throw around like that.
But yeah, I like this thread, helpful when posting reviews
