dryfterThe headphones I ordered on Monday arrived this afternoon - a pair of Sennheiser eH-250 supra-aural 'phones.
Sennheiser's site was annoying - the PDF specs of the HD25's (their benchmark headphones) contain more information than the eH series does, but on the limited info available for comparison, they seem inferior. However things like sensitivity and the range on which they provide a flat response doesn't tell you anything about attack, decay, or how tight the response is to any given frequency. Hmph.
Then again, these weren't exactly expensive headphones. I'll see how they sound after they've been run in for a couple of days.
(
Attack: Delay between start of a signal, and when the speaker is vibrating at that frequency
Decay: Opposite of Attack
The "tightness" of the response is probably the wrong term - what I mean is, if you provide a signal on a single frequency, eg. 1000 Hz, then a speaker will actually produce a response that varies a bit either side - say from 995 Hz to 1005 Hz, with a certain roll-off either side of the peak at 1000 Hz.
