Headphone Driver Types as Fast As Possible 

*Loading my gun*

1. Aware of European F-1 drivers 2. Sounds like Hank Hill 3. WHO ARE YOU??!

I think it's pitched up 😂

every one knows he is an alien...no one wears sock sandals at the same time

@@MightyPriest poles do

Even though I'm wearing headphones and my cat is laying next to me at 3:35 he jumped 3 feet and my sinuses cleared!

he turned to spongebob vor a sec there

They are what produce the actual sound you hear.

***** They are just the magnet and diaphragm that receive the electrical inputs and turn it in to sound that you hear.

Their Vibrators for your ears.

baraki808 thank you

***** 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.

Christian Poulsen you realize that's super high pitched right?

Christian Poulsen I-I-I don't- What?

Dylan McIntyre I suppose he's implying that Linus' voice is so high that that's the lowest it goes

over 9000 kHz (actually about 1000) is more like 3:36

tschuggi4 sounds like spongebob laughing

its mostly your preferemce though

Most people don't understand the terms though

yep

You can't ignore the 1% we finger tip grippers are few and far between but we do exist. plz stop forgetting us mouse makers :(

Joshua Bagwell (Millennial Brat) "Whats a computer mouse?"... "and what's a computer?"

Better take Google

should have been "electrical signal" that slipped through. Thanks for pointing it out.

Techquickie you can tell Linus didn't write this reply because its positive. LinusSaltTips

+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.

+Leonel Cantú de Llano (Mr. Chilli) it can be digital, but all you'll hear will be high pitched beeps

No your not

Love all of those suggestions. I'd like it if he did one explaining double precision as well.

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)

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

***** Not the first time Sony has discontinued absolutely stellar models, such as some of their woodies. But yes, the recently discontinued and reasonably midrange line did have some interesting products, even if somewhat leaning towards a rather specific signature.

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.

Rather rude of you to tell someone the way they run their business isn't a good idea.

Rodney way He said so in a polite and supportive manner. Rather rude of you to denounce constructive criticism.

Tyler Raber Rather rude of you to say my rude comment was rude.

Rodney way you just admitted your comment is rude.... Congratulations

Tyler Raber rather rude of you to point out my pointing out of my rude comment about his rude comment being rude. 

it's a BB gun :p

Oh snap! Shows what I know.

K.

Uh-oh he's been triggered!

Daban Agreed.

Yeah there are many 720p, 1080p, 4k, 60 fps etc. format videos on RU-vid from way back in the day, even though RU-vid didn't support them then. I guess RU-vid keeps the original copies.

yeah, and what do u think about the razer tiamat 7.1 im thinking about buying them

The answer of what makes a good headphone is not so cut and dry, innerfedlity, a website dedicated to headphone products has lots of explanations on different parts of a headphone www.innerfidelity.com/category/headphone-buyers-guide

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

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?

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.

no, and the guy doesn't wear electrostatic headphone.

Exactly what someone who was spamming would say!!

Yes, larger drivers perform better with low frequencies. Smaller drivers are better with higher frequencies (typically).
