***** How is that just kinda? That is the layman's terms of how every speaker in existence works. Every single speaker (that includes headphone drivers if you don't already understand that) works via a diaphragm and a magnet. The positioning of those two things may vary but they are ALWAYS there, especially in anything that you are probably buying with whatever money you are willing to spend on them. If you think that this is only sort of what happens than you may need to consult your local psychiatrist.

The driver does not actually convert the digital signal. It changes the analog signal from the cable to sound.

+Bryan Oliver True, since at some point just before the diaphragm, the signal must be analog in order to physically produce sound waves. There is no such thing as "digital sound". If such thing existed, it would involve you hearing/seeing numbers floating around and your brain interpreting them as sound waves, something that doesn't even make sense.

Great video, thanks! My only criticism would be that planars weren't covered in enough detail compared to BA, which I'd not come across before. IMO for portable use, planars are a really good compromise - they have the main benefit of electrostatics in that the diaphragm mass can be tiny giving excellent transient response and a wide frequency response. They have the benefit of not needing a high voltage power supply and their impedance can be in the realms that a smartphone headphone output can drive directly (a better solution is an external DAC such as the Chord Mojo). Worth having a listen to.

Thnx linus for amazing and knowledgeable videos...keep up the good work

I would really like to know the diffrence between the diffrent LGA sockets. This would really be a good idea, because it would explain people what motherboards to buy, and what processors that are compatible with that motherboard, also, if there is any performance gain if you have a 2011 socket processor, vs LGA 1155 socket, that i currently have. A really good video suggestion, because there are more people confused about the motherboard compatible processors, than you might think. Please like this, if you feel the same way!

Good to see someone in the tech community promoting head-fi. I've found their community to be pretty nice and always willing to help. One person did bring up something important though, ath-m50's may be great headphones but watch out for most new audiophiles suggesting them. All that was meant is there are other cans out there in that price range that shouldn't be completely ignored because everyone and their mother suggests the m50's. This said I have a pair and love them, though hint to new owners, clean the ear pads and headband. Mine have started cracking, mostly the headband since it seems like a less durable pleather. It's caused by skin oils and/or sweat, same care should be taken of leather though it should be more durable.

Fast as possible topic suggestion: I'd love to see one on "Unified Memory". Great videos. Keep 'em comin'!

Literally just ordered some T50RPs. Unique, oddball looking, and a not so popular orthrodynamic driver, and THE most modded headphone. Perfect for me :D (well they are pre-modded Mayflowers V1s. I was going to apply the smae mods my self, but they were on sale for the same price as stock ones on NCIX)

Could you do a video explaining the elements in computer and music/studio speakers?

2:58 I lost it. XD

I want to say, cool idea to do an in depth video with ya pals trying different headphones out. plz

I recently purchased headphones with graphene drivers. They seem okay. Maybe you can do a video about graphene drivers and how they differ from other drivers.

The photoshopped smile deserved a Tim and Eric, "Good Job!"

Linus! Do one about headphone impedance. That would great! Love your work a lot

Great video Linus - really useful for those that don't know the difference.

exactly what I wanted to know. good informative video

Bluedio r+ 8track - best headphones ever. Although they do have weak build quality on the top, theyve got amazing sound and countless features

I love that you mentioned Head-fi. anytime someone asks about headphones or anything related to audio I point them to Head-fi. Yeah, some of them are a bit elitist(read as A LOT) you can easily sort through it and find genuinely good advice and people that help you find out what you want. Thanks to them I've found three great set of headphones(Shure 440, Grado S80i, and Fischer Audio DBA-02) and even purchased the latter of the them from people on Head-fi. and when my DBA-02's got attacked by a cat? I was directed to someone that modded the then dead IEM's to use a replaceable cable.

Headfi helped me choose the UE6000, and I'm veeery satisfied with it :D

thanks bro real useful

"More doesn't mean better" The Unique Melody Mest mk2 with 1 dynamic driver, 4 balanced armatures, 2 electrostatic drivers and 1 fricking bone conducting driver: "Are you sure about that?" If you don't know they are the best IEMs money can buy at 1500 dollars

I just want to point out that electrostatic drivers are actually pretty much free to produce. The problem comes down to manufacturing processes and company costs. Stax, Sennheiser, King sound, and a few other micro companies are the only people to have ever made electrostatic drivers for headphones. With the exception of sennheiser, these companies are tiny and never really made a cost effective way to produce these headphones. Companies like martin logan who make electrostaic speakers on the other hand have a much larger and more efficient manufacturing process. The only reason their speakers are expensive is because of supply and demand. A lot of people want the unique sound that electrostatic speakers provide, but martin logan pretty much has that particular market cornered, so they charge more for it. But the actual cost of their drivers is pretty much next to nothing.

so drivers are the size of the cup for the ear? in other words, a head set has a big driver so like a 40mm driver. but head phones or ear buds have... like 10mm drivers? am i getting this correct? ;-;

Could you guys do a video explaining the differences and pros/cons between a gold plated jack to a silver plated one? It might sound silly to some but I've never really found solid answers as to how they're different or why gold plated jacks are often the way to go when choosing your headphones/earphones. When I buy my headphones, I know I have to choose gold plated over the silver ones although I never really knew why but I was told and I always see people saying that the gold ones are better.

@I514

9 жыл бұрын

Benyamin Lorit Gold plating makes no sense on headphone jacks, plating is there to protect the underlying copper/brass/whatever from air exposure, but gold is a very soft metal and rubs off quickly, its use is in home stereo cabling where you never unplug the cables. Silver is extremely expensive for no reason, the only way it could make a difference to sound quality is if all the wire in the audio signal's path including the headphone's voice coil was silver, and the only difference would be the electrical signal getting to the headphones a fraction of a picosecond faster. And silver plugs have to be cleaned monthly or they develop "oxidation" that increases resistance on the plug. You want nickel or rhodium plated plugs, nickel is very very common and inexpensive, it lasts a long time and has good conductivity. Rhodium is a premium option, it lasts about 8x longer than nickel and has a higher conductivity. However conductivity doesn't matter here unless the metal being used is a very very poor conductor. :P

@BenyaminLorit

9 жыл бұрын

Izzy Axel So would it be right to assume that most branded headphones that have gold-colored jacks are made out of Rhodium? I do tend to prefer gold colored jacks than silver ones whenever I purchase headphones for some reason so I want to know if that actually makes sense or something. One minor detail I've noticed though is that gold colored jacks seem to be smoother when plugging or unplugging but maybe that's just me. So asking from a common headphone buyer's standpoint, should it matter whether it's a gold jack or a silver jack whenever I buy my headphones?

@I514

9 жыл бұрын

Benyamin Lorit The core will be copper, the plating on a non custom cabled headphone will be nickel if it's silver colored, gold if it's gold colored. Rhodium costs far too much, 1 rhodium plated 3.5mm TRS plug will run you about $30, it's a low quantity production item that really only get sold to be used on the absurdly overpriced cables, esoteric high end hifi products barely anyone's heard of, or to people who reterminate their cable with a nicer plug than the stock one, or make their own cables. The smoother feeling may just be the difference between a better constructed plug, rather than the plating. Also, rhodium is silver colored. Generally, nickel is what you want in a headphone plug, as gold will rub off in a month or 2 with normal use.

Which driver is most suited for heavy bass frequencies?

I don't think there's really a concrete correlation with bigger driver meaning better... well, anything. It's kinda those specs that I felt are just being used just for marketing due to "More/Bigger = Better", just like frequency response (MA900 and my ZX701's FR is 5 Hz ~ 40kHz)

@BKOBatista

9 жыл бұрын

Rohan Espada But I never even insinuated that... you are reading too much on those two lines. MA900 is just a weird monster that uses the same driver to the old top tier Sony Extra Bass line, but with a different presentation creates a surprisingly balanced and still the best/wider soundstage up top $400 category. Try them before you knock it. Is just a waste because it is discontinued now and Sony will probably never pursue the mid and hi-fi section again after this.

***** Woaaaah, hold on mate. You've got the wrong idea! I was just generalizing about the whole driver specification of headphones; didn't mean to make it sound like you were hinting those words. I am not knocking on the MA900 on anyway. I actually want an MA900, as it can serve as an upgrade to my HPH-200, my primary open headphone, while somehow keeping the same-ish sound signature (according to the few reviews I read/watched). Will probably grab one if it drops

Rohan Espada That's not a frequency response, that's the range their hyper sensitive test equipment can detect any noise in, which at the extremes is far, far too quiet to hear. Also hujmans can't hear past 21.5kHz-ish, so the 40kHz max is a useless figure. A real frequency response is a graphed line, with the horizontal scale being the frequency, and the vertical scale being the volume the headphone reproduces that frequency at.

Can you explain what are neodymium drivers?

Linus, please do more headphone videos to enlighten us

I appreciate your minor warning before your plug. But having one in every single episode has trained me to simply leave before you finish every video. Mix it up, I know youtube analytics aren't giving you stats on when people stop watching. But from my experience, and the experience of watching those around me show that they all bail ship as soon as you start "speaking of..." Just a thought.
