When testing new headphones, do you pick good sounding songs to test certain characteristics?
I often find that headphones that wow! me with certain songs are really the ones I end up liking, but on the other hand, I could give a headphone a track that doesn't really sound good and is really hard, and judge it based on that.
Also, post a list of your testing tracks. This thread can also double as one to share music genres.
Undoubtedly THE BEST vocals test track: Paramore - Misery Business acoustic version (also because I like angry, angsty girls)
Bass: Discotronic - Tricky disco
Violin: Mendelssohn, Violin Concerto in E minor Op.64 - I. Allegro molto appasionato (see how the violin makes you feel)
Piano: Beethoven - Appassionata/Tempest/Moonlight 3
Punch n Sparkle: Jay Chou - Ye Qu
Awesomeness/drums: Two Steps From Hell - Norwegian Pirate
Soundstage: Nightwish - Last of the Wilds
Speed: needed - HELP ME FIND A SPEED TEST (heavy metal?)
