I feel horrible that I, as a Chinese don't know many audio-related terms, but that's besides the point. Could anyone help me translate the following terms to Chinese (or at least check if my translations are correct)?

Headphones amplifier - 耳机放大器

Bass - 低音 (How would you describe bass?)

Mids (vocals) - 歌声

Treble - 高音

Opamp - 晶体管 (Transistor?)

That's all, I hope.

Am trying to do some presentation on a CMOY to the class during a Chinese lesson. Everyone is supposed to play the role of a salesperson, so I chose this.

opamp = 运算放大器 (运放)
transistor = 三极管
solid state transistor = 晶体管
tube transistor = 电子管
NOS = 古董管
solid state amplifier = 石机 (slang)
tube amplifier = 胆机 (slang)
mids = 中音

And finally - Audiophile = 发烧 (literally translated as having fever

everything else seems to be in order.

Trust me, no one would know what you are talking about unless your classmates are all EE and learned their stuff in Chinese.

Chinese terms do vary depending on where you are, but in Hong Kong, amplifiers are often dubbed "擴音機" rather than "放大器". This might very well differ from how the Mainland Chinese or Taiwanese express the word amplifier.

Try changing the text encoding of your browser to UTF-8 before inputting the Chinese words.

I still don't see anything besides "????" on this page

You probably need to have eastern language packs installed.
Can do that under time/date/language and "add extra languages"/
