  Trying silver ears, everything was cool except mp3 and reverb...
 
What do you guys listen out for?
 
 
mp3: Got no idea (lol lucky I'm not a huge believer in flac or 24/96 or else i'll be suiciding)
 
reverb: Do you listen to the background organ and see if it is sounding crisp or not?
 
 
:S

Reverb was fine, but I can't get mp3 artifacts for the life of me. Reverb is like an echo--why you think you sing 'better' in the shower.

Listen to the cymbals and there is a subtle difference.  Pick the one that sounds a little softer or blurrier.

That was surprisingly fun! Thanks for sharing.
 
edit: that last timbre question on basic was tough!

I'm still working on it right now. Been using the AD700 and E10.
 
Needless to say, I'm stuck on the bass section in golden ears. That and the frequency bands.
 
I thought the loudness sections were by far the easiest.

These tests are revealing to me how much my high-frequency hearing has been affected by aging - and I've never worked in loud environments and mostly avoided loud concerts.

I agree, the hardest sections for me were the ones that involved high frequencies.

It probably explains why headphones that are supposed to be excessively bright don't bother me at all.

Tried the challenge yesterday and I was able to get through Silver Ears on my cheap Logitech computer speakers, let's see what the Golden Ears section can do. Would love to use headphones for these but a little challenge is why I keep on using my desktop speakers.

The codec and the reverb was the most toughest for me with the soundstage caught me off guard a little.

Also, the tracks are awesome! I am enjoying every track it used.

I finished gold yesterday, I had been stuck at the frequency bands for a while but yesterday I finally did it, must have had a good (h)ear day!

Agree, In some high frequencies test i can't hear differance at all

Interesting site - i'll have to try it when I get home and compare it to the results from a hearing test I took a few years ago.

Wow, this is fun. Difficult, but fun.

Freq bands in Golden is killing me.
