hey just wondering, you guys have other song suggestions that illustrate soundstage?? just fun to listen to them using different headphones :)
Zombie thread!
Soundstage only exists with headphones for binaurally recorded material. For stereo content mixed for loudspeakers I think people are usually talking about some kind of "fidelity", maybe instrument separation, etc.
my friend was talking to me about his akg k550 & saying how you can really tell where each sound is coming from and where it moves to. this is using flac files, not binaurally. so i was thinkin that has to be soundstage right?
Seems so. However, going by my brief impressions of the AKG K550, I can't say it did sound localization very well. IME open headphones in general do a much better job in that regard. There are a few exceptions of course.

oh ya? i was under the impression that the akg k550 were one of the exceptions of a closed headphone w/ good soundstage. what would you say are the exceptions?
