What Is a Headphone Test?

Headphone testing is the process of determining the audio quality of headphones. This can be done through objective or subjective means. Objective measures are those that can be quantified, such as frequency response or sound pressure level.

Subjective measures are those that require a person's opinion, such as how well the headphones reproduce the timbre of different instruments or how natural they sound.

The headphone test measures the quality and working of your headphones so you can make the correct choice while buying one.

How To Use a Headphone Tester?

The most important thing to do while using the headphone test is to use the right method for the type of headphones you are testing. For example, while testing an over-ear headset, different methods are needed than testing earbuds. It is important to make sure that the headphones are properly placed before starting the test to ensure an accurate reading.

Start Headphone Test

Firstly, visit the Device Checker on your browser. On visiting the website, navigate to the ‘Headphone test’ page. Put your headphones on and begin the test. Click on ‘Start test' and the test will start. Now, you can check the desired headphone for all its aspects.

Choose the Sound

Now, choose a sound to start the test. You can choose from options like Smooth Funk, Deep Bass music, Symphonic music, and more. Note that different music can give you different headphone experiences.

Play Left and Right Headphone

On choosing the sound, you can now begin the left and right test for the headphones.

  • Plug your headphones in, and click on the ‘Play left’ button. This would play the audio in the left channel
  • Similarly, click on ‘Play Right’ to play audio on the right channel.

This would play the audio and you can test if your headphones are working properly, or not.

Features

feature 1

Check Headphone Quality

Using the headphone tester, users can easily check their headphone quality. This can be done to compare functionality while purchasing a new earphone, or for checking if the headphones that you are using are of the same quality as before.

feature 2

Upload Your Own Sound

As the test has default sounds, it also has a feature that allows you to upload your own audio to test. So you can find a sound with the perfect high and low notes to check your headphones.

feature 3

Free & Fast

This headphone checker is free of cost for a lifetime so you do not need to switch tools looking for better options. It is the one right here. Also, the test is so lightweight that it works as fast as a thunderbolt. Test your earphones, headphones, and headsets instantly.

feature 4

Nothing To Install

The tool is website based. This means that all you need to access the tool is a device, a web browser, and an internet connection. No installation of any app or software is required and you can take this test at your own pace.

How Does This Headphone Test Work?

The test checks the following aspects of headphones.

Frequency Response

Frequency is measured in Hertz, which represents the rate at which the sound waves repeat per second. This can be high or low frequency and it determines the quality of sound.

Low Frequency Response

The low frequency is usually low or deep sounds. These sounds are often difficult to hear but can be heard properly if you have great headphones.

High Frequency Response

The high frequency is usually high or shrill sounds. These sounds may sometimes be annoying to hear but can be quite lifting if you have good quality headphones.

High-frequency sounds are often used in music to create an effect that can be either pleasant or unpleasant.

Spectral Flatness

To achieve the spectral flatness that you desire, your headphones must skip any dips or peaks to produce each and every frequency between the upper and lower limits. If your headphones are not flat, that is fine, as long as they sound flat through your ears. Unfortunately, this is not always possible due to the imperfections of human hearing. However, even if your headphones are not perfectly flat, you can usually compensate for them by adjusting the volume or EQ settings.

Dynamic Range

A headphone's dynamic range should be maintained as consistently as possible from the quietest level to the loudest level. If a headphone's dynamic range is not maintained, it can cause the listener to lose focus on the audio content and become disoriented.

Headphones with a higher dynamic range can provide better isolation from ambient noise. In other words, if your headphones can reproduce the full range of frequencies that you can hear, they will do a better job of blocking out external noise. This is because the higher frequencies will cancel out the lower frequencies of the noise, and vice versa.

Driver Quality

This test checks if your headphone drivers are working properly and produce an audio signal that can be heard through them so that you can hear whether they're damaged or not. The quality of the drivers in your headphones is very important. The drivers are the part of the headphone that actually produces the sound. If the drivers are of poor quality, the sound that they produce will be of poor quality as well. There are many different types of drivers, and each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Left & Right Channel

The Left and Right sound test is used to see how well your headphones produce sounds in both left and right channels. This test uses an audio analyzer to measure the sound pressure levels in each channel. The results of this test are then compared to the results of the other channel to see how well the headphones produce sounds in both channels.

Polarity Test

The Polarity test is an important part of headphone calibration. When you are listening to music or watching a video, you should be able to perceive the audio in the same way regardless of which ear the audio is being played to. If the audio is not played in the same direction to both ears, it can cause a lot of confusion and discomfort. Proper wiring will ensure that the left and right channels are played in the same relative polarity and that this polarity is preserved during playback.

Binaural Test

In order to properly calibrate your headphones, you must perform a binaural test. This test involves playing a recording through headphones in such a way that each ear receives the same audio signal. This is done by placing microphones directly on one's ear. Although this is a bit cumbersome, it is necessary in order to ensure that the audio is played in the same direction to both ears and that the relative polarity between the drivers is preserved.

FAQs

Yes, headphones do lose quality over time. This is due to the electro-mechanical components becoming less responsive over time, which can result in decreased sound quality. They will start to sound fuzzy and distorted, and eventually, you won’t be able to hear the music properly.

In order to check the bass on your headphones, you will need to use a listening test. This can be done by playing your music at a high volume and checking to see if the bass is overpowering. If it is, you can try adjusting the ear cups or the headband. For example, you can use the Headphone test by device checker, and play bass-boosted audio. If the headphones or earphones can register it well, it has good-quality bass.

The bass ranges from about 31 Hz up to 200 Hz. The lowest note on a standard piano is A0, which vibrates at 27.5 Hz. When creating sound effects, it’s important to consider the pitch of the sound. For example, a car engine might rumble at around 50 Hz, while a thunderclap could be as low as 10 Hz.
