I've never put too much importance in headphones as long as they did the job. I've never been able to justify spending a lot of money when the ones I get for $29 seem to be just fine. I've never needed a volume control on my headphones so I'm trying to decide what I have to gain by buying one of those expensive names like Rat, Killer Bee's, Gray Ghost.
I've been trying to compare specs, because I'm the type that needs to see some proof on a piece of paper, but some of them just make no sense and some don't bother putting any specs. I see some have a noise reduction spec which I see as valuable, but most of the big guns either don't have it listed or are lower than the others. The highest I saw was on the Accusound Pros with a external noise reduction of 30db.
I see some big name headphones with a very thin frequency response. The claim was "it is all a detector uses." Cheaper ones had frequency responses of 20-20,000 htz while some high end only had 200-3200 htz. Whats up with that? I kind of like the low end response. And the Sensitivity. The louder the better I've always felt. I wanna hear those faint signals. That same Accusound Pro has a sensitivity DB rating of 91db to the 72db of most the other big guns.
I'm looking at maybe getting a high end set of phones but I want to know why I should. I'd like to see the specs of some of these big name brands but it seems they choose not to disclose that info?
