Headphone Test: Right, Left

In today's world, headphones accompany all users, without exception. There are many varieties of these devices. There is a regular everyday headset that allows you to brighten up your travels with your favorite music or make phone conversations more convenient, thanks to the built-in microphone. There are gaming headphones that provide complete isolation from the outside world. And also have a complex speaker system that allows you to completely immerse yourself in the gameplay.

There are devices for musicians and music lovers. Such headphones have amazing sound quality, and they are complex in structure and cost more than usual. This is due to the production of parts, because for the best sound transmission, all components must be of the highest quality.

In addition to quality and cost, headphones come in a variety of sizes, colors and shapes. The headset market is huge and every user can find a suitable device in it.

How to check the left earphone online

After purchasing a headset, it makes sense to test it for performance. Among the parameters, attention should be paid to power, frequency characteristics and design convenience. The last point is especially important for those who spend a lot of time in headphones, since an improper design can bring significant discomfort.

Often, after purchasing a device, it becomes necessary to verify it. The main parameters to check are the quality of sound transmission and stereo.

In order to check the quality of sound transmission, you should download a separate test file in flac or wav format and run it on a PC.

Attention! It is not recommended to check the sound quality on mp3 files. Since this format is sometimes very tight and the quality of the downloaded audio recording leaves much to be desired. For an objective assessment, it is better to use flac or wav.

Do not check the sound quality on video from YouTube or on online services. Since due to compression and encoding, the audio quality there also meets the verification requirements.

When checking stereo sound quality of the audio file is not so important, and you can check it online. Stereo sound is provided by the synchronous operation of two headphones. When you “move” the sound from one side to the other, the volume decreases on one speaker and increases on the other. In this way a 3D effect is created.

In order for the sound to be truly voluminous, both headphones must work correctly. There are two ways to test the performance of the left and right channels.

Checking the left and right channel with a separate sound.

1. This method delivers a separate sound (it can be a knock on the door, the sound of a bell, etc.), first to the left channel, and then to the right.
2. Also, the sound can smoothly move from left to right earphone. If the user hears all the changes, then the device is working correctly.

Simultaneous verification.

1. This method consists in the fact that both speakers receive the same signal with a uniform change in volume and frequency.
2. If the headset is working properly, the user will hear the same signals on both channels.

Checking the left and right earbuds occurs simultaneously in the same ways. In order to check them online. It is enough to use special verification services or run the corresponding video on YouTube.

How to check the right earphone online

Checking the right earphone does not differ from the left one, since both devices must work synchronously to create surround sound.

Reference! In case access to the Internet is limited, but there is a need to check the operability of the right and left channels. You should use the standard Windows application. To do this, run any audio file and go to the mixer settings. Mixer settings are opened in the following way: "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Sound". Then select the connected device, right-click on it "Properties" - "Levels" - "Balance".

Other methods for detecting headphones

It often happens that the user fails to understand where the right one is and where the left one is. The correct arrangement of the speakers is very important, since in almost all compositions, as well as in games, completely different sound tracks are sent to the left and right speakers.

In order for the right and left speaker to be easily identified, manufacturers leave marks on the case or on the wire. The marks are usually in English L-Left Left and R-Right Right.

There are also color marks, where the left is indicated in red and the right in blue.
