So a lot of US vendors are having delays right now... do you guys actually have inventory to Ship? Or are you also waiting

the point is... -10db is not a low number... -1 db would be a low number

Maybe you aren't understanding me.

Headphones are rated this way. Speakers are rated +/- 3dB most of the time. It's just the way it is. You are complaining about the HD560s rating, you are complaining about literally every headphone.

Maybe I'm missing something.. ( could be ) but my understanding is this...

  • Frequency response:6 Hz to 38 kHz (-10 dB) - has good bass, down to 6 hz... has good high frequency up to 38 Khz.... the -10db is how far the frequency response deviates from a flat frequency response... so if no deviation the reading would be 0 db... if the deviation is high it can be either above the flat response or below the flat response...so a -10db would indicate a large deviation from a flat response... and again, I could be wrong, but that is what I understand... for example, if a spec just says, 6 hz to 38 khz would you know if there is any deviation(s) or would that indicate a perfectly flat response... now if the spec says, 6 hz to 38Khz (-10db) then thats a pretty good indicator that the headphone is not linear and has some pretty high deviation number... but also has a wide frequency spread...

Not entirely sure how you came to that conclusion but no that's not how the ratings work.

If they were rated at +/- 3db like speakers are then both ratings would be closer together. Let's just say 40Hz -20kHz for example.

You were right about the ratings being pointless because really they are, it tells us absolutely nothing.

can someone explain exactly what the -10db is telling us... I did try to look it up on the net and pretty much came up with what I wrote... -10db is a large deviation from a flat response... ???

A speaker's variation from "flat" can be a useful gauge of its performance. This specification is stated as a "+/- x dB." The tighter the variance, the more flat, or accurate, a speaker's response. Typical variances range from +/- .5 dB to +/- 3 dB, with the lower figure usually bounding the frequency extremes. That is, a speaker whose published frequency response is 50-25 kHz, +/- 3 dB, will be -3 dB below "flat" at 50 Hz and 25 kHz. This doesn't mean that information below 50 Hz will not be heard, only that the drop-off after that point may be steep.

It tells us absolutely nothing about sound signature.
