Pink noise is a mix of all frequencies, used mostly (or exclusively as I know it) to "burn in" headphones.

Good work! well done..

I'm glad you didn't put neutral in there. (I hate that word)

I prefer ..

Transparent - Easy to hear into the music, detailed, clear, not muddy. Wide flat frequency response, sharp time response, very low distortion and noise. A hear through quality that is akin to clarity and reveals all aspects of detail.


Like looking through a clear glass window into the music.

Good job.

In his book "Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science" by Bob Katz, one of the legends in the recording industry, there is a frequency chart that lists terms such as nasal, boomy, boxy, fat, harsh, roomy, extended, etc. and matches them to specific frequency ranges.

http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Audi...9658242&sr=8-1

The terms go back to the late 1940's if I remember correctly. I have the book and find it very useful for understanding not just how to describe sound, but how a true audio engineer goes through the process of creating a recording.

Here is the link to the chart page, which may or may not work since it's

Anyhow it's on page 43.

Highly recommended.

OK, let's try stickying it.

 

[NeObliviscaris]

Awesome,

I was going to start a similar thread, but with general terms like 'Cans, IEMs, E2c, UE11's' with terms that we all use and throw around like that.

But yeah, I like this thread, helpful when posting reviews

Woo-wee... these are really good info and learning points to much better appreciate and perhaps better common understanding of what's mentioned.

Thanks! and my vote for Sticky!
