So, when exactly is the world supposed to end this time?

 

[Head Injury]

December 21st, 2012 of course. But for the indebted Headfier, probably when the HD700 is released.

Why make your own silly pics when they already come pre-made?
 

 
My 128k WMAs never sounded so good!

Yeah, how can they mess up the math like that.  A 36dB difference is a 63 times difference...

^ LOL!

dB's aren't linear so that math could be right, im too lazy to check though.

2^(36/10) = about 12 times quieter noise.
 
Not like we'd hear a fraction of the difference anyway.
 
Also all the arrows and axes in that graphic are completely nonsensical.

Hopefully not serious.

I let the computer do it for me.

That's 63 times more voltage. Not noise.

 

[maverickronin]

The noise has a voltage too.

 

[Head Injury]

Yeah, and that's presumably how they get away with claiming 64 times clearer. But we hear volume, so to our ears it's only 12 times "clearer". When they say "Audio Quality", we as consumers are led to believe that means to our ears. So it's misleading advertising.
 
That's not what's funny about the graphic, though. What's funny is it looks like a toddler threw it together in Paint.
