i just bought some new headphones using the first track on the Telephon Tel
Aviv album... in my opinion it's got really nice range, and the lows push...
pick a track you're really familiar with, and one you think is mixed proper
to begin with. any output hardware will always do some 'mixing' of it's own
as they are all limited in some respects and it's always good to keep this
in mind so listen to how it EQs your track.
while i'm not a scientist, the way i test this sort of stuff is set all eqs
straight up (or with a CD man DO NOT have bass boost on) and crank that sht
up. it's good to use a track with tight, heavy bass "hits" because this
will reveal weakness in woofer if you hear any rattle.
while the list will now be flooded by labcoats with pie graphs, just trust
your ears.
ps. it's fun to blast some IDM at CircuitCity when it's crowded...
pss. of course, you could use that really annoying track on ICareBecause
with the high pitched squeak and try to shatter some TVs...
