Just tested this on an old setup (mid '80) and still surprised of the results. Amp: LUXMAN L-225 Speakers: Bowers & Wilkin (B&W) DM220 High: ~16000Hrz Low:
First off, let me say that I appreciate all of the replies you have made on other comments. Secondly, thanks for the great test! My speakers managed to pass every test to my liking, except the rattling test. They do seem to rattle a bit at low frequencies, when played at a higher volume level. They are just a basic set of old Grace Digital speakers, so I am surprised that they performed as well as they did!
19810hrtz treble (Pioneer) system plays audible bass as low as 10hrtz even with the Subsonic filter set to 25hrtz. 2x12s MTX, custom ported box (tuned@30-34hrtz) American Bass X-over, SKAR 5K Amp. I love Pioneer head units,but their filtering in the Super Tuners more than 10 years old isnt absolute. Alot if unwanted frequencies going where I'm not trying to send them. But not enough to do damage so I can cope. If I remember correctly, High end Clarion head units seem a bit more accurate in filtering. Yes I'm an audio file. This is a good test track for seeing some of the tuning issues in your system. Thanks to the producers, keep this stuff coming.
Always do the test in both directions. This will account for delays, most importantly in Bluetooth connections. Thankfully, the full spectrum one does go in the opposite direction, especially for the highs.
I did this test on my new trust Arys PC Speakers 2.0 Stereo Speaker Set 28 W, and got 25 hrz for the lower bass calibration and 18500hrz for the upper treble calibration, and performed well in all the following tests. I recommend this to anyone in the market for speakers for pc or tv especially at this price point which is 23,74 euros
Exactly my thought. I used an app called Decibel X to confirm that the frequency is playing, but that raised a question - if I can't hear it - do I care for it?
Nice test thx. Test succeeded on every point with the following vintage speaker setup : Elac EL 110 frontspeakers Elac CM 80/4 center speaker Elac sat 2 rear speakers Connected to a Yamaha RX-V467 receiver Lower bass: stopped at 11 Hrz Upper treble: 20000 Hrz Full spectrum: 20000 Hrz
I can hear at 16500hz, Im surprised and happy with my new $100 speakers Edifier R1280T, I usually use headphones but decided to buy some desk speakers, so glad I did.
This is as much a hearing test as it is a speaker test. We lose the ability to hear high frequencies as we get older, starting surprisingly young. 17,400 Hz is a frequency that only teenagers can hear. Most people over the age of 18 cannot hear this tone. 15,000 Hz is difficult for anyone over the age of 40 to hear. 12,000 Hz is hard for anyone over 50 years of age to hear. And 8,000 Hz should be easily heard by everyone with normal hearing. So, don't throw out your speakers if you're not hearing a full 20-20K hz spectrum. I wanted test my new Creative Pebble V2, and my discernable range was from around 40 to 13600 hz, which is better than the humble 100 hz low end the maker claims, and since I'm in my mid-60's, hearing up to around 13,500 hz isn't bad for my age, but I certainly can't tell you how high the speakers reach. I just don't have the physical ability. They sound very good to me, though.
Thank you for that information. I really mean that. I am just starting with good sound for speakers and music. And the speaks so matter. The quality of a walmart speaker next to a sound shops speaker like best buy or even a audio installer is like not hearing to hearing. My only walmart speakers are bass and that's it. Did not take me long to figure that out. Yes walmart carries top brand speakers. But like anything they have different models. Speaker are one of those "you get what you pay for " deals. I'm in my early 40 and heard right at 15500. And I have top line mids and highs. You can get better but then your at more watts. For that power I want to push it is like being at the Symphony. I love getting in my jeep and just loosing myself . To hear music on a great system is as close to heaven as we get while we are hear on earth. One of our makers many many blessings. Thanks for sharing and sorry for the long comment. God bless
Honestly it's more of a speaker test than a hearing test because hearing loss does come with age, but being careful with your ears means it's likely not degrading as fast as they once thought. After all, I'm 34, already have tinnitus in both ears (I can only hear it when it's EXTREMELY QUIET), and the tone was clear at 17,000kHZ, but likely started just a bit before some maybe in the ~17,200 area. I got tinnitus from attending lots of concerts without hearing protection and gunshots while hunting. Now I do wear hearing protection almost always while doing both, but the point is that even with minor damage I should be a "teenager". Not only that, it's well known that audio format reproduction especially on RU-vid can make it so it cuts off >15k because, for the most part, it's extra info. Like the shimmer of acoustic string and the harmonics of instruments and voices, but so often it's just buried by everything else. Basically, if you treat your hearing well, it's likely you'll hear high frequencies up to 16k+ your whole life and it's actually human speech where you'll lose the most hearing due to the slightly accrued damage over your lifetime and those frequencies often being the loudest and most prevalent in our lifetime experiences!
My 20+ years old Celestion F10 speakers went all the way down at the bass test, went up to 17400hz on the treble test, and passed the rest of the tests. :)
I bought a couple of speakers from my mates, ' Phillips ' sound system for £20, I'm so impressed because although Phillips are world renown, the don't have street cred like kef, cerwin vega, and another 100 mainstream speakers, they're kind of looked at like amstrad. So.... I hooked them up to a, ' Rotal ' amp I found in the skip😳, and it drove the speakers well, it was pretty loud in the midrange, and the Rotel's bass and treble effects were very subtle. Only occasionally, did I get a deep bass response, I'm a reggae dub lover so the bass is critical. Anyway, if you want to test your bass, try listening to, ' Prophecy ', by Fabian, there's a few versions but the one on, ' tribesmen ' records, is the best and deepest, clearest bass. The first half is vocal, the second half dub. Just click halfway through to start, and you will feel your speakers shake the room.
Logitech Z623 THX 2.1 cost £129 Volume at 70% Base set to 100% Full Spectrum Test 16,868 HRZ Lower Base Test 15HRZ Upper Treble Test 14,007 HRZ I have the Base port on the Sub pointing towards my chest between the dual screens, and it will blast air in your face. Very impressed with it
16280 HRZ - 40 HRZ on my Bose Companion 2 Series II. Just got them used, probably manufactured like 8 years ago, still sound pretty good! Can't be that range and quality for $40.
@@kingm3llo Yeah becase what that guy wrote, mean HE CAN HEAR at these range of high freq. People sometimes are unaware, that is not real test of high freq speakers, but viewer's capability of hearing!
Hi! thanks for such quality speaker test sounds, just tried on JBL BLUETOOTH MINI SPEAKER CLIP 4 FIRST ever this sound out of box, worked better according to this mini speaker. thanks, liked and subscribed your channel..:)
the mini clip 4 is nice but really over priced, i went with the JBL GO 3 as my mini portable because it has the same exact drivers as the clip 4 while being almost half the price. And personally, more aesthetically pleasing along with having the same clip like functionality. 30$ at Walmart or 50$ on amazon, while the clip is 70$ across the board.
Was testing this with my Echo Studio and Echo sub. Very good speakers. In Dolby Atmos configuration. Not as good as some of you have. But a blew past all the tests with ease
I used this to test a speaker which is 2 decades old , which is older than me I'm 13 i found this speaker at my place when cleaning i was surprised it was working apparently it was my dad's speaker. Bro retro tech is gold and I'm sending this comment from a smart phone which is a decade old .
My dog could hear up to 18lkH, me around 14kH, peavey stereo 800w/ch .amp, cabinits are Peavy w 2 x 15s and a big ass horn, volume at 50%. My neighbors love me.
There is more to bass to hearing it, the issue with lower quality speakers is that they don't have a good sounstage and frequencies contaminate each other. Also the bass may not be linear or have good reproducibility.
Man, Philipps Fidelio T1 are increadably good earphones if they fit well! Deep Bass and absolute perfekt mids and highs. I think they sound like a little version of the AKG K701
Just because you don't hear the higher frequencies doesn't mean it's the speakers. It is typical to lose higher frequency hearing as we get older. Test your speakers with someone younger too!
Didn't hear high frequency until about 12,000 Hz. I think this may have been due to limitations associated with RU-vid rather than the speakers being tested.
KZ ZSN Pro X and there is no limit for it, I was able to hear everything and I'm not surprised because they are very close to those 500$ phones from Shure even though KZ phones are way cheaper.
My old Panasonic Rp-htf600 went all the way down on the lower frequencies, but it had a weird gap between the 15000 and 18000 on the higher frequencies.
My cheap bluetooth speaker didn't reach good bass and treble. The bass was very muffled and almost silent below 80Hz and treble too was so muffled above 15K hertz and the speakers really struggled in it .
My speakers stopped at 15k too and they’re pretty good budget speakers. I’m fairly certain it’s just due to how the video is uploaded to RU-vid. If you want an actual speaker test you may have to download a program or an app
The Bluetooth would usually cut the high and low frequencies. This is normal result for Bluetooth. That's why you should not use BT for speakers unless they support AptX HD or LDAC codecs.
I got about 4500Hz of hearing loss. At 51yrs of age I find that acceptable due to the fact I been singing in a metal band, have always listened records on headphones, enjoy good volume music and I do play sci fi horror games and drive solid sim rig racing on headphones. Anything above 15500Hz kind of doesn't even interest me of what I get from hearing at 15500Hz. 😅 Good job, dad. 😊 💪🏻🐻
Edifier R1100, cheap and tiny desk(bookshelf) speakers, can hear the bass until 48~50Hz and the treble about 18500... but for the treble, this can be due my age. I'm 31 y.o. after all. Plus their tweeter is pretty small. For the price of 55 euro, I think they're great ! And they can punch 42W!
I tested this on my car ( 2020 Mercedes Cla ) and I got the treble at around 16000 Hz and the bass went down to 15 Hz. This car is perfect in every way. Edit : The sound system is Burmester
for the high frequency , my car speaker can be heard at around 8000 hz max . this is due , i set the equalizer control to not sounding the high pitch , because i cannot stand too much high pitch , hurting my ears sort of . so i cut it off lots of highs pitch . so i can listen to all type of songs without fatiguing ears . everything sounds smooth and pleasing .
Thats because we can hear from 20 to 18500hz, maby the speakers goes higher but you cant hear it. I have speakers with a super tweeter from skytech and i can hear it from 18500hz. That is my max hz I can hear.
17,500 hz approx. I could start hearing the sound. NOTE FOR EVERYONE: The ability of a human to listen higher frequencies also decrease as age grows. (I think that's also why many are not writing the comments on when they could hear start hearing sound) lol.
This test not only tests speakers but also hearing. The highest frequency the speaker will output is relative to what you can hear, meaning the speaker may be better than you think because of your limited hearing range...... The dogs may hear it though lol
Logitech Z623 almost reached 16000, btw, can playing a really high frequency like 16000 damage my speakers? I just got them and wanted to see what they’re capable of but I don’t want to play loud frequency’s if they’re going to damage them. Edit: can the same apply to playing low frequency’s like 20 damage a subwoofer?
To put an older iPhone in there to match the android ones iPhone XR: 30-15500 hz But okay this really impressed me, I knew the speakers were good but they amazing actually, they will always impress me, idk how apple did it
down to 65Hz on the lower bass on my Redmi Note 9. That's really not bad for a 150€ phone... Upper Treble about to 19570 On the third test it popped on the bass change. lol
Anker soudcore motion + 50-14500 at least with my hearing ability No bass rattling or distortion. Good Bluetooth speaker of its kind. I’m just wondering how these kind of testings even matter if your ears don’t even support that high or low pitches. Your speakers may very well deliver the frequencies while your ears are ready to hear only a part of it. And also I’m really surprised to know some people here can even hear frequencies close to 20hz or 20khz with their human ears. Good to know super heroes still exist!
