Good songs to test bass on headphones? - Page 8

Minimalist pre-techno? Synth bass. Various kinds of impact, also plenty of subbass. Excellent for testing the results of bass on soundstaging.

3) J. Haydn - Symphony G-dur no. 94 "Mit dem Paukenschlag", part 2: Andante

Actual classical, this features the titular drum - if the bass is broken, then the drum won't have the impact envisioned by Haydn.

Most headphones actually fail this test - it requires a lot of good decay.

 

You know, no list of audiophile music would be complete without classical. rolleyes.gif

 

For the record, I've just bought Ultrasone Pro 650 based on the measurements of the bass impulse response.

There are few headphones with actual non-ringy bass and these are one of them.

Also the fact that nobody mentioned any sibilance. From what I hear in the reviews, they won't disappoint.

 

For fun, I decided to play the Kraftwerk track on my loudspeakers/subwoofer.

 

About a week later I got a letter of complaint in the mail tongue_smile.gif

 

Good selections there, thank you.

I assume someone will have mentioned this already.

 

Wait (The Whisper Song) - Ying Yang Twins

 

ALOT of bass, and fun to listen to.

I need to try some of the tracks in this thread for bass testing...

 

 

Has anyone tested their low frequency hearing? I don't think I can hear any bass under 17Hz, it just sounds like noise under that.

Mainly for the low rumbling bass, and simple sweeps.

朝ANSWER by PENGIN would be one of the best. No doubt.

Justice - Genesis.

 

 

Franz Ferdinand - 40FT.

 

 

 

In case they weren't mentioned.

Heya,

 

If it's just testing, download audacity and generate tones of 50hz, 40hz, 30hz, and 20hz. Simple as that.

 

Very best,

I would give a try to:

 

- Pale Ravine by Deaf Center,

- something like Little Moon or Dark Flower by Robert Babicz,

- What you want by Tiefschwarz,

- Cavallino Rampante by Yngwie Malmsteen,

- Röyksopp Forever by Röyksopp (just because I like it).
