Your new amp didn't make much difference?

Seems to be no burn-in effect on latest pair of phones?

That cryo copper cable turned out to be not so cool as they say?

Watch out! The most important hardware in your rig might be out of order!

There are three decent tests, people:

Tone perception: http://jakemandell.com/tonedeaf/
Adaptive pitch: http://tonometric.com/adaptivepitch/
Rythm perception: http://tonometric.com/rhythmdeaf/

Don't be shy! Post your results in this thread!

Mine aren't impressive:

Adaptive pitch: 3 Hz - normal
Tone deaf: 78 % - normal
Rythm deaf: 72 % - very good

Man, 66.7 on the tone perception. I'm only using HD-25-SP's though.

Not quite a hearing test - although I wish! Did them a while ago and got close to full marks (played instruments since I was 8) -- but my ears and hearing are in a poor state unfortunately

Tone Deaf: 73% =(
Rhythm Deaf: 75%
Adaptive Pitch: .68 Hz that one I like

Interesting with it all, though the Tone one kinda pissed me off at times. Pitch was much harder with my ER6is in then my speakers. Not great speakers mind you, a simple 2.1 altec lansing variety, but with IEMs in my pitch was up to 1.5. Think Im going to try all of these in comparisons with different phones.

ccotenj your adaptive and rhythm tests are unusually extremley poor

I will take these tests later when I have total silence...

BTW to the guys saying your headphones aren't good enough... you could easily take these tests with airplane headphones, except maybe for the adaptive one.

Worth the time,Thanks 4 the link D3n.
.086Hz pitch
60% rhythm
78% tone
Rhythm and tone could be better for me, more of a memory issue,I'm old
Too bad the results don't post in your member profile.
A lot of people with mega buck systems would be better off with a
Kenner close and play phonograph.

tone deaf... 77.8%
pitch... 0.825hz
rhythm... 80%

I think I did pretty darn good, and I did this all with a headband and earpad (but not grille) modded KSC35.

And Ive had zero training in any kind of music or anything music related. I'm the guy who always goofed off and didn't take anything seriously in music class at school!

69.4% on the tone perception test. I thought I was a bit better than that, seeing as I have almost no ability to read music and go by perceived tone alone. (I'm in choir and I've continually dodged the music-reading bullet with my good ear.)
