good headphone frequency range image
Sorcha K
i'm getting new ones and im wondering which is better. I'm planning on getting ones with volume control on them because the volume control on my nano is broken so i'm wondering will sony headphones have similar frequency range (volume) as apple headphones. also which are stronger and will last longer. Which do you think are better value i was thinking of getting these ones http://www.sony.lv/product/hpi-ex-series/mdrex38ipb.ce7 or just normal apple standard headphones, what do you think?
Answer
Sony. Ive gone through 3 apple headphones and finally.decided no more.

witch of these two headphone frequencies are better quality?
SSG.Wentwo
Frequency Response: 8 - 20,000 Hz
or
Frequency range: 100 â 18,000 Hz
witch is better quality and buy how much. (Is the one thast ebtter extremely better, just a little bit better, or around the same?
Answer
Frequency response is a bit misleading if they do not include the tolerances or deviation from the specification (the plus or minus 2 dB versus 6 dB that someone else mentioned). Also, who cares if they can produce frequencies lower than 20 Hz, since this is the low frequency limit of human hearing?
When an audio output at a certain sound pressure level (volume) increases to twice that level, this is an increase of 3 dB (decibels) over the original level. And, a decrease of 3 dB means the sound pressure level was cut in half (it sounds half as loud).
So, a difference in audible level of 6 dB is twice the 3 dB difference, or 4 times as loud or 1/4th as loud as the original volume.
In the example you gave, let's say the second frequency response (8 - 20K Hz) is plus or minus 6 dB, while the first one (100 - 18K Hz) is plus or minus 2 dB. Well, the first one might reproduce frequencies down to 20 Hz or less, but it's just not within that 6 dB tolerance. And the second one might produce frequencies down to 8 Hz if they have 6 dB of leeway. But, maybe they would only go down to 100 Hz or more when the spec is plus or minus 2 dB.
I would have to see a few more specs to determine which of these is the better headphones. And, of course, the bottom line is to listen to each set and pick the ones that sound the best, regardless of what the specs say.
