If they ain’t perforated you’re doing something wrong

// June 24th, 2005 // Personal

I’m sure I’ve spoken of this before but thought I’d revisit since I’ve been doing some tidying up in the ole iTunes library today and came across a few beauteous songs.

For what it’s worth I’ve never been big into perfect quality speakers but I do insist on decent headphones. I listen to all sorts of music both on the computer and on the shuffle as well as playing games and watching movies and tend to do most of it through my headphones. I’ve always liked a decent frequency range and my current cans of choice handle an amazing 6 – 23000 Hz.

So I was plugged in this morning having a tidy when a couple of Chemical Brother’s tracks hit the party shuffle. I habitually change my mixer settings depending on the genre and thought I’d tweak the bass a little … just a little …

Heh! The best bit is the headphones seem to be not at all bothered with the level of bass being forced out through them and all my dance stuff now has a fantastic nightclub feel to it … boom boom boom. There are a couple of tracks I simply can’t enjoy at this level though “Breathe” being one of them
