reference songs for audio testing

ok so I guess forget using a bluetooth speaker in any configuration on my desktop.

what a world of difference back-to-back comparison makes. each step sounded glorious, then horrendous in comparison to the next step up.

overall:

• Jambox Big Box 3/10 - packs bass, highs too distinct
• Edifier R19U 7/10 - less bass, more accurate, better definition, freaks out on very highs
• Sennheiser PC363D 9/10 - strong resounding bass, much more detail

Reference songs

• Peaches - Fuck the Pain Away
• bass deepness
• highhat annoyingness
• Detroit Grand Pubahs - Weed in the Kitchen
• very hard contrast bass/highhat (0-27s)
• transition into smooth rolling bass, highclap (27s-)
• conclusion: i really like bass and highhat

Jambox Big Box (circa ~2015)

• Peaches - Fuck the Pain Away
• warbly bass, shakes whole unit
• highhat disturbingly loud, hard to hear anything else

Edifier R19U

• Peaches - Fuck the Pain Away
• distinct bass, can hear drums, doesn't take over
• highhat barely noticable, blends into background
• Detroit Grand Pubahs - Weed in the Kitchen
• highat sounds horrible like flicking cards
• can barely hear the bass

Sennheiser PC363D 3D G4ME1

• Peaches - Fuck the Pain Away
• dense rich deep bass
• highhat blends in well, allows additional detail through
• Detroit Grand Pubahs - Weed in the Kitchen
• full highclap, deep bass, flicking subdued but still there (weird song)
• transition satisfying, packs punch, highclap adds to it
