Hi Everyone!

What songs/music do you use to test headphones at different frequencies? A song for pure bass, one for treble etc.?

You can use anything you like to judge the headphone for your taste.

I use psytrance for my bass test.
Astrix - Deep Jungle Walk
Infected Mushroom - Groove Attack
And thanks to a friend I also use the song
Bad guy by Billie Eilish

To check how they fair with high pitched sounds and deep base on the same time I use the Doom ost not sure if you can call that music tho.

To check female focals I tend to use Tell him by Barbera Streisand and celine Dion. Followd by some Nightwish songs to see how they fair with more up speed and Fuller music.

For soundstage the Doom ost gives some idea but I always play a number recorded in binaural called binaural by Cocteau. I also play a CD called A feather on the breath of God (goth church music) gives you a good idea of soundstage with and imaging. Also good test for higher female focal representation. And then take them for a spin In gaming for example battlefield 5 or a other bf game using the frostbite engine.

P.s. this version of hotel California is also really nice with the drum representation in the begining of the song.

Personaly I always check guitars with little wing by Ray Vaughan and money for nothing and sultan's of swing by the Dire straigts

For most I use flac files but I'm not allowed to share those by law, so I added links to Spotify versions

Funny how we both use some Nightwish songs
If something does show the weak side and makes a headphone puke that's it
