Hello, I am looking to learn more about the technical side of sound reproduction in headphones.

Can someone explain what each of these graphs mean/show and what they should look like in the perfect headphone (i.e. ideal)?

These are HD800 graphs from ryumatsuba.

Thank-you.



サイン波応答 Sine wave response

位相＋高周波歪み -Frequency phase distortion

インパルス応答（CSD） Impulse response (CSD)

インパルス応答（録音波形） Impulse response (waveform recording)

Here's a good post explaining graphs in general (related to headphones).

The harmonic distortion looks much too high. There's about 7dB between harmonics and fundamental for some of those bins

Not to mention the harmonics are higher than the fundamental below 50hz. Anyone know whats going on there?

Edit: whoops didn't see the harmonics are 40dB lower than indicated.

the graphs I am particularly interested in are the impulse response ones
