mids are mostly vocals (maybe male vocals? )
if you want to understand where those frequency derscribed lies, open up a player with frequency equalizers and you will notice they are the middle 4 bars of an eq, adjusting it increases the vocals, piano sounds or something orchestral that is not high pitched

Frequency Response - Frequency response is the range of sound in Hertz (Hz) that the drivers on headphones can produce. The range of hearing for the average human is between 20 and 20,000 Hz so you want headphones that can cover that range.

THD stands for Total Harmonic Distortion. This is a representation of all of the distortion over a specific signal. THD for headphones, and everything else for that matter, is measured as a percentage. What you need to know is that a lower percentage is better because it means there will be less distortion in the signal. Not all headphone manufacturers put the THD in their specs but now you know what it means when you see it.

SPL stands for sound pressure level and is measured in decibels (dB). This is a measurement of the energy contained in a sound wave and is supposed to take into account how human ears function for the numeric values. kinda like how boomy the item will blast in ur ears

impedance ah.. simply put .. impedance wd refer to obstruction offered to signal (electrical) ..

The impedance tells you basically how much current will flow through a speaker at a certain voltage

Added on August 24, 2011, 10:17 amit all comes down to your comfort, and how long you want to listen in one go

if you want a marathon audio listening, IEM will be comfotable, and mid range or budget IEM will not draw as much power, leading to longer listening sensation

may not entirely that low freq = bass, deep male vocals are also in the low freq spectrum, and same goes to female vocal

bass going way too low will damage our hearing, same goes for high pitch.. imagine someone hitting drums so hard beside your ears, pain!! now imagine a high pitch "beeep" sound beside your ears.. pain also!!

it is up to personal preferences, because the beats are way too many fakes around, and the SQ does not fit general audience of audiophile, so go vModa anyways

u might wanna find some earphone with more bass and mids, as drums sound reside that area

that is a no, they are gaming headphone, my suggestion is get maybe something like the TMA-1, more options you can ask for it in the earphone / headphone recommendation section

well, one cant ask for too much right? give and take

as a more audiophiliac option, i say aiaiai will get more praises than skullcandy

tell you what.. you PM walabies or gshop, he will sort you out nicely

you haven't seen what is a heavy headphone until you tried the audeze or other planar headphone
