advice on headphone

naveen rawat · 25-03-2007, 04:18 PM

guys i was searching for headphones on internet. when i came across many headphones with frequency response start ing from as low as 8Hz to as high as 29,000Hz. what is the point in making frequency response outside the audiable range of human ear.

also what does sensitivity in headphones signify? is 98dB good enough for listning musics and for gaming purpose?

i want to buy some mid range headphone for long hours music and some gaming. plz suggest some? thanks in advance....

Try Sennheisers, they've been great for me. I have the HD202s, a real step up from cheap head phones.

the frequency range being out of the 20Hz-20kHz range is pretty pointless. 18kHz is tough to hear for most people.
