Ok..
So when people say bass is flabby, tight, light, deep, heavy, bloated, etc.. what exactly is going on in to cause this?
Is it simply an issue of frequency response, or is damping of the driver an issue as well? Is ringing really a problem in headphones?
I could attribute flabby as a broad bass hump, tight as another bass hump, light as a dip, deep as a lot of extension with maybe even accentuation as frequency lowers, heavy as a boost, bloated as a sharp bump in response.
Does anyone have anything to add about what exactly is going on here? Maybe headphones have high amounts of distortion with certain freqs or the the housing is vibrating with the bass?
