Miley Cyrus and Hemsworth engaged
Australian hunk Liam Hemsworth has
popped the question to his girlfriend US singer Miley Cyrus, the teen singer
and actress told People.com.
"I'm happy to share the news with
you all," 19-year-old Cyrus said.
"I feel like all my dreams are
coming true."
Hemsworth, who is currently shooting
Empire State in New Orleans, proposed to Cyrus on May 31 with a 3.5-carat
diamond ring, according to People.com.
The 22-year-old Hunger Games star has
been dating Cyrus since they met on the set of The Last Song in 2009.
"I'm so happy to be engaged and
look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Cyrus told People.
However, big brother Chris Hemsworth
did not confirm news of the engagement. When asked by TV show Access Hollywood
on the MTV Movie Awards red carpet he replied: "Not that I know of ... It
would be a shock, wouldn't it?"
But Billy Ray Cyrus, father of Miley,
tweeted after the announcement: "All I ever hoped for as a Daddy was to
see my kids reach their dreams. To find happiness...peace of mind ...and
someday know... true love."
Celebrity jeweller Neil Lane who made
the engagement ring told People.com that Hemsworth wanted "something
unusual". He asked for "something really beautiful and
romantic".
The website says what the star got was
"a 3.5-carat cushion-cut diamond ring, handcrafted in 18-karat gold with
intricately carved diamond floral motifs in an art nouveau pattern".
It's been a big few months for the
Hemsworth brothers.
Liam starred in the smash hit The
Hunger Games and will next be seen in The Expendables 2.
Big brother Chris, who recently became
a dad, has starred in two recent box office hits, The Avengers and Snow White
and the Huntsman.
Kim Kardashian Gives Kanye West $750K Birthday Lamborghini
Lamborghini mercy, guess what Kim Kardashian got Kanye West for
his birthday? No, it wasn't the MurciĆ©lago — we're pretty sure Yeezy already
has one of those, seeing as the exclusive model was the inspiration for his new
G.O.O.D. Music single "Mercy." Instead, Kimmy kicked it up a notch
and dropped $750,000 on a Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 for her beau's 35th
birthday.
Hopefully TMZ didn't ruin the surprise when they published pics of
the rare black two-door sports car. According to the site, Kardashian couldn't
bring the gift to 'Ye because he's in Ireland with Jay-Z for another stop on
the European leg of their Watch the Throne Tour, so Kim took a video of the car
in L.A. so she could show him.
"Kimye" began dating earlier this spring and have since
become prime targets for the paparazzi, who have snapped the lovebirds on both
coasts. The pair were also spotted at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where
Yeezy premiered his "Cruel Summer" film. Last week, TMZ reported that
both Kanye and Kim put their Los Angeles-area homes up for sale, fueling rumors
that the two are planning to move in together.
On Wednesday, 'Ye and his G.O.O.D. Music comrades dropped the
video for their "Mercy" single, which they spot in an art-deco
inspired parking garage. Now that the Louis Vuitton Don has a new toy to rap
about, we wonder if a remix is on the horizon.
Lil Boosie's Labelmate Lil Phat Shot And Killed In Atlanta
19-year-old rapper Lil Phat (Melvin Vernell III) was found shot
and fatally wounded at 6:40 pm on June 7th in the 1001 block of Johnson Ferry
Road in Atlanta, GA. Lil Phat was found
in a car parked in a parking structure next to Northside Hospital Women’s
Center. He was taken to nearby Northside Hospital, where he was pronounced
dead. Witnesses told investigators that
they saw at least one suspect running from the scene of the crime. The parking deck has video surveillance
cameras that the police are currently reviewing.
Lil Phat was signed to Trill ENT, which included artists Lil
Boosie, Webbie, Foxx, Lil Trill, KaDe, Mouse & Shell.
Our prayers go to his family and friends.
<<-- Must Read Thriller Story!!! -->>
Once there was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his
passengers.
One day a beautiful young girl, of around 18 years,tried to
board the bus, but he didn't stop the bus.
Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus
and died on the spot. Angry passengers took the conductor to the police
station, who in turn took him to the court.
The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him
capital punishment.
He was taken to the electrocution chamber. There was a
single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner
of the room. The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current
was given to him. But to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided
to set him free, and he returned to his profession.
After a few months, this time, a good looking middle aged
woman tried to board the bus but the conductor didn't stop the bus. Unfortunately,
this time also, the good looking middle aged woman came under the bus and died
on the spot.
Again angry passengers took him to the police station, who
in turn took him to the court. The judge took one look at the conductor and
gave him capital punishment. The Bus conductor was taken to the same
electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room
and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the
chair and high voltage current was given to him. This time also, to everyone's
amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to
his profession.
A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to
board the bus.
This time the Bus conductor, remembering his earlier
experiences, stopped the bus. Unfortunately the elderly gentleman slipped and
died due to his
injuries. The conductor was taken to the police station and
then to the court, to the same judge. Though he hadn't done anything wrong, but
considering his past record the judge decided to set an example and gave him
capital punishment.
The Bus conductor was again taken to the same electrocution
chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single
banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair and high
voltage current was given to him.
This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!
The question is why didn't he die on the first two
occasions, but died instantly the third time??
Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather interesting and
answer is perfectly logical. If necessary read the puzzle once again.
Still couldn't? Then see below.........
Think hard
C'mon .............
Tired....?
Wanna know the answer????
Okay........ here is the Answer............
During the first two times, the conductor was a Bad
Conductor, therefore electricity didn't pass through him. But during the third
time, he was a good conductor, so electricity passed through him freely and he
died !!!!

Psychological Reasons to listen to music....Read On
What
psychological roles does music play in our lives?
Modern
technology means it's never been easier to hear exactly the music we want,
whenever we want it. But whatever technology we use, the reasons we listen to
music are universal.
Music
grabs our emotions instantly in a way few other art-forms can manage. It
engages us on all sorts of different levels. A few bars of a song can take us
back decades, to a different time and place.
So
what are the universal psychological functions of music? Lonsdale and North
(2010) asked 300 young people about
their main reasons for listening to music to see which came out top. Here are
the answers, in order of importance, counted down from six to the number one
spot.
6.
To learn about others and the world
Languishing
down at number six was the way in which music teaches us about the world. Music
tells us stories about other people and places and it gives us access to new
experiences. Music can teach us how other people think and even suggest how we
might live.
Psychological
research backs up the importance of the information music sends out to others
about our personalities. In one study participants could broadly judge
another's personality solely on the basis of their top 10 songs (see:
personality in your mp3 player).
Music
is also sending us a message about the state of the world. Dodds and Danforth
(2009) downloaded the lyrics to almost
250,000 songs composed between 1960 and 2007. They found the lyrics got
steadily more depressing up until 1985 and then levelled off around 1990. This
decline was seen across all musical genres.
5.
Personal identity
In
at five is identity. The type of music we like expresses something about
ourselves. Even the broadest genres like rock, classical and blues begin to
give us a picture of a person. We also seem to discover ourselves through
music: it can teach is who we are and where we belong. Through music we can
build up and project an image of ourselves.
One
general trend in popular music is towards greater narcissism. A study has
examined the lyrics of the top 10 songs in the U.S. between 1980 and 2007
(DeWall et al., 2011 ). This found that lyrics related to antisocial behaviour
and self-focus increased over the period. On the other hand, over the same
time, lyrics related to positive emotions, social interaction and a focus on
others have decreased.
4.
Interpersonal relationships
The
fourth most important function of music is its social dimension. Music is a
point of conversation. We listen to it while we're with other people and we
talk to them about it. It's a way of making a connection.
There's
little doubt that music and love are inextricably linked and we use one to get
the other. One study tested whether exposure to romantic music makes a woman
more likely to agree to a date Gueguen et al. (2010) . The answer is,
emphatically, yes. The percentage of women who agreed to a date almost doubled
from 28% to 52% after they had been played some romantic music.
The
song that did the trick? "Je l’aime Ć mourir" (I love her to death)
by Francis Cabrel (the research was conducted in France).
2) Negative mood management
Tying
for the second spot is negative mood management. When we're in a bad mood,
music can help us deal with it. When your mood is low, there is something cathartic
about listening to sad music. Somehow it helps to know that you're not alone.
We use music to relieve tension, express our feelings and escape the realities
of everyday life.
Music
certainly seems to help us cope with life's slings and arrows. There have been
many studies on those about to undergo painful medical procedures. These find
that music helps people get through this stressful and anxious time (e.g. Good
et al., 2002 ).
2) Diversion
Also
coming in at number two is diversion. Music relieves the boredom of the
commute, or of a lazy Sunday afternoon. It's something to do when we don't know
what else to do.
A
word of warning though: don't use background music while you're trying to do
something complicated. Research shows that it reduces performance on standard
cognitive tests (Cassidy & MacDonald, 2007 ). Music is a distraction and
this research found that the most distracting type is depressing music.
1.
Positive mood management
Right
up at the top of the charts is positive mood management. This is rated people's
most important reason for listening to music: making our good moods even
better. It entertains us, relaxes us and sets the right emotional tone.
Music
makes us more hopeful, even after things go wrong for us. In one study by Ziv
et al. (2011) participants were falsely
told they'd done badly on a task. Those who were played some positive music
afterwards, were more hopeful about the future than those left in silence.
Why music is good for you....
Remember
the Mozart effect? Thanks to a suggestion in 1993 that listening to Mozart
makes you cleverer, there has been a flood of compilation CDs filled with
classical tunes that will allegedly boost your baby's brain power.
Yet
there's no evidence for this claim, and indeed the original 'Mozart effect'
paper did not make it. It reported a slight, short-term performance enhancement
in some spatial tasks when preceded by listening to Mozart as opposed to
sitting in silence. Some follow-up studies replicated the effect, others did
not. None found it specific to Mozart; one study showed that pop music could
have the same effect on schoolchildren. It seems this curious but marginal
effect stems from the cognitive benefits of any enjoyable auditory stimulus, which
need not even be musical.
The
original claim doubtless had such inordinate impact because it plays to a
long-standing suspicion that music makes you smarter. And as neuroscientists
Nina Kraus and Bharath Chandrasekaran of Northwestern University in Evanston,
Illinois, point out in a review published today in Nature Reviews
Neuroscience3, there is good evidence that music training reshapes the brain in
ways that convey broader cognitive benefits. It can, they say, lead to
"changes throughout the auditory system that prime musicians for listening
challenges beyond music processing".
This
is no surprise. Many sorts of mental training and learning alter the brain,
just as physical training alters the body, and learning-related structural
differences between the brains of musicians and non-musicians are well
established. Moreover, both neurological and psychological tests show that
music processing draws on cognitive resources that are not music-specific, such
as pitch processing, memory and pattern recognition— so cultivating these
mental functions through music would naturally be expected to have a wider
pay-off. The interactions are two-way: the pitch sensitivity imbued by tonal
languages such as Mandarin Chinese, for example, enhances the ability to name a
musical note just from hearing it (called absolute pitch).
We
can hardly be surprised, meanwhile, that music lessons improve children's IQ,
given that they will nourish general faculties such as memory, coordination and
attentiveness. Kraus and Chandrasekaran now point out that, thanks to the
brain's plasticity (the ability to 'rewire' itself), musical training sharpens
our sensitivity to pitch, timing and timbre, and as a result our capacity to
discern emotional intonation in speech, to learn our native and foreign
languages, and to identify statistical regularities in abstract sound stimuli.
Music
to our ears
Yet
all these benefits of music education have done rather little to alter a common
perception that music is an optional extra to be offered only if children have
the time and inclination. Ethnomusicologist John Blacking put it more
damningly: we insist that musicality is a rare gift, so that music is to be
created by a tiny minority for the passive consumption of the majority. Having
spent years among African cultures that recognized no such distinctions,
Blacking was appalled at the way this elitism labelled most people 'unmusical'.
Kraus
and Chandrasekaran rightly argue that the marginalization of music training in
schools "should be reassessed" in the light of the benefits it may
offer by "improving learning skills and listening ability". But it
will be a sad day when the only way to persuade educationalists to embrace
music is via its side effects on cognition and intelligence. We should be especially
wary of that argument in this age of cost-benefit analyses, targets and
utilitarian impact assessments. Music should indeed be celebrated (and studied)
as a gymnasium for the mind; but ultimately its value lies with the way it
enriches, socializes and humanizes us qua music
And
while in no way detracting from the validity of the call for music to be
essential in education, it's significant that musical training, like any other
pleasure, has its hazards when taken to excess. I was recently privileged to
discuss with the pianist Leon Fleisher his traumatic but fascinating struggle
with focal dystonia, a condition that results in localized loss of muscle
control. Fleisher's dazzling career as a concert pianist was almost ended in
the early 1960s when he found that two fingers of his right hand insisted on
curling up. After several decades of teaching and one-handed playing, Fleisher
regained the use of both hands through a regime of deep massage and injections
of botox to relax the muscles. But he says his condition is still present, and
he must constantly battle against it.
Focal
dystonia is not a muscular problem (like cramp) but a neural one: over-training
disrupts the feedback between muscles and brain, expanding the representation
of the hand in the sensory cortex until the neural correlates of the fingers
blur. It is the dark side of neural plasticity, and not so uncommon — an
estimated one in a hundred professional musicians suffer from it, although some
do so in secrecy, fearful of admitting to the debilitating problem.
We
would be hugely impoverished without virtuosi such as Fleisher. But his plight
serves as a reminder that hot-housing has its dangers, not only for the
performers but (as Blacking) suggests for the rest of us. Give us fine music,
but rough music too.

Origin Of Music...Read On
The origin of music is somewhat
speculative at best, due to the original creators, being on the razor’s edge of
self awareness, having no reason to document their activities for future
readers. We can only guess as to how music was created in the primitive psyche
of the time. What follows is pretty much my guess.
Early man most likely took some interest in the sounds around him, in
some cases it meant life or death, as in the roar of a tiger, or it was
pleasing to the ear, as in a bird singing away. I can imagine that after a
successful hunt, the hunters would prance and growl around a fire emulating the
sounds of the fierce beast they had just slain. They might even have started
hitting sticks together in an attempt to emulate the sounds of their clubs
thumping dully upon the head of some prey, or the hollow melon sound of a
neighbor’s skull when they were fighting amongst themselves over some chunk of
meat, or for the best looking mate. The former most likely, due to the fact
that the latter would be a six of one half dozen of the other proposition,
cosmetics having yet to be invented.
In any case, as far as the origin of music is concerned, drums were
probably the first primitive music instrument if we remove the human voice from
the equation.
The
Encyclopedia Britannica states "Drums appear with wide geographic
distribution in archaeological excavations from Neolithic times onward; one
excavated in Moravia is dated at 6000 BC. Early drums consisted of a section of
hollowed tree trunk covered at one end with reptile or fish skin and were
struck with the hands. Later, the skin was taken from hunted game or cattle,
and sticks were used. The double-headed drum came later, as did pottery drums
in various shapes”. Basically “Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee¹” was
probably our first artistic expression in the realm of music. (¹ Money for
Nothing—Dire Straits)
The next logical step up from percussion instruments may have been in
the woodwind or string family. Imagine a primitive man fascinated by the sound
of the wind blowing over some hollow reed, then recreating the effect for his
fellow villagers at the next log bashing party, what a hit he would have been!
Regular life of the party, such as it was.
Panpipes would have been an easy progression for the primitive mind of
the time, stick a bunch of varying length reeds together and voila, let the
good times roll. The move from the panpipe to the flute must have taken a much
greater leap of faith for the period, yet wooden and bone flutes discovered in
china have been dated as far back as 9,000 years ago, and one bone flute made
from mammoth bone dates back 35,000 years and has a 4 note scale comparable to
the Do, Re, Mi, Fa, scale that was so adamantly drummed into our little grade
school heads.
How Hip Hop Changed The World.....
Sure, How Hip Hop Changed the World
was a Channel 4 top 50 countdown show, clips'n'pundits (the correct term isn't
actually clips'n'pundits, it's clips and something else that I'm not allowed to
write). But as top 50 clips'n'pundits shows go, this one was about as good as
it gets.
For one, the clips were pretty good:
Public Enemy in all their military stuff; Outkast in their crazy stuff; a lot
of girls around pools in very little stuff at all. And Kool Herc driving his
badass convertible around the Bronx in the 1970s with his monster soundsystem
in the back.
And then the pundits were pretty good
too: Nas, Rakim, Snoop Dogg. Snoop was the best. "It felt so good and so
confident to you ears, because it was actually what you were going
through," he said. "You mighta not didn't go through getting shot at
and the gangbanging, but just about the expression of being young and being
challenging and dealing with life and having to make the choice of: am I going
to do right, or am I going to do wrong?"
What's he talking about? G-funk, and
Snoop Dogg himself, of course. Hey, Mr Dogg, how do you know I wasn't getting
shot at up here in Dollis Hill, and gangbanging and all that? When I first
heard Doggystyle I decided I was going to do wrong.
And MC-ing it all: Idris Elba,
Stringer Bell himself. From a suitable urban rooftop. With attitude. But there
was no mention of Gil Scott-Heron, which I thought was odd. How can you have
Wham! in there, and Vanilla Ice, the dance troupe Diversity and the London
Olympics logo, but not the Godfather of Rap?
But then these shows are about
disagreement, and starting a debate. And it wasn't just about music, and
musical influence; it was about a bigger picture – how rap entered the
mainstream, commercialism and language, and even politics. It was about how
hip-hop changed the world. And it was fabulous.

Everything about "Burn In" of Earphones..Improve the sound quality..
What
is ‘burn in’?
When
speaking of headphones, ‘burn in’ is the term used for the settling oft he
design parameters of the diaphragms into their intended state. The physical
process is that the diaphragms loosen up through use and eventually reach a
point that could be considered final. A similar situation is breaking in a new
pair of shoes.
Why
do people choose to burn in a new pair of headphones shortly after getting
them?
Fresh
out of the box, a pair of headphones may not sound as good as a well used pair,
as the designers have intended. Often, people want their headphones to sound
the way that they are intended as soon as possible. Most people don’t want to
wait for weeks or months of regular use, so the choice is to expedite burn in
by getting the process over with in the first week of ownership. Others choose
to listen to their headphones as they change over the burn in period.
How
do I burn in my new pair of headphones?
You
can simply play music through them continuously. Some prefer using pure tones,
sine wave sweeps, pink noise, or AM/FM static for burn in. Some recommend using
bass heavy music. The method of burning in a headphone does not change
depending on model or manufacturer.
Which
burn in method is most efficient?
There
is no scientific evidence proving that one is better than the other. Choose the
method that you prefer.
What
do I do with my headphones while they are burning in?
You
can set them on a table, put them in a sock drawer, put them under some
pillows, or put them on your head. It’s up to you.
Do
I have to burn in my new pair before I listen to them?
No.
You can listen to your new pair of headphones straight from the box. Whether or
not to burn in your headphones is your choice. As you listen, you may hear
gradual changes in the sound through use. Some people choose to listen
periodically during the process, while some hold out until the process is
complete. While still others listen for the burn in throughout the entire
process listening from day one and enjoying the evolution in sound.
How
much does burn in effect the sound of the headphones?
Some
say burn in has a drastic effect, some say there is little effect, and some say
that there is no effect. The amount of change resulting from burn in will be
different for each model of headphones.
How
long should I burn in my new pair?
Many
recommend approximately 100 hours for most headphones. Some recommend as many
as 200 hours or more. Different headphones may take longer than others for a
so-called ‘complete’ burn in, and there is no exact or set length of time for
burn in. It is best to use your ears to listen for changes to decide when you
should stop the burn in process.
When
is burn in complete? Can I burn in too much?
The
idea behind initial burn in is to reach the point at which audible changes stop
occurring and you are left with drivers than have settled into the sound that
they will have forever after, the sound that it was designed to have. After
that point, regular use of the driver won’t cause significant change in the
sound, until perhaps years and years later when thousands upon thousands of
hours have passed and the life of the driver is at its end. However, some say
that burn in is never complete. The argument is that regular, long-term use
constantly wears on the drivers and that wear always has an affect on the
sound. Still, it is safe to say that, after a driver has reached its designed
parameters through burn in, regular use won’t cause significant audible
changes.
Is
there a wrong way to burn in my headphones?
You
risk damaging your headphones at any time by using extremely high volumes. Some
recommend setting the volume to a comfortable listening level during burn in,
while others recommend a volume slightly higher than your normal listening
level. If you hear distortion, pops, or cracks due to high volume, you are
likely doing damage to the drivers. Also, using very low volumes will not be
very effective in burning in your headphones.
Is
burn in actually real?
The
idea of burn in has always been controversial. Some people say that there is
evidence that proves it while others say that there is evidence to disprove it.
Some consider the phenomenon to be purely psychological conditioning while
others insist upon physical changes to the drivers, and some agree upon a
combination of the two. You are free to be a believer, and you are free to be a
skeptic. Whether or not you believe in it and the position you take on the
subject is a choice that you should make for yourself.
Is
there anything else that I should know?
Burn
in has been discussed at length over the years of Head-Fi. Any question you
have concerning burn in has likely been asked numerous times, and by using the
search function and reading through previous threads, you will almost surely
find answers and opinions. This FAQ has been created to limit the number of
redundant threads posted by newcomers or especially curious existing members of
the Head-Fi community asking the same questions that have been asked in the
past. The subject of burn in is not especially complicated or involved, nor is
it something to have great concern about, nor is it an exact science. Opinions,
methods, and results vary from person to person, headphone to headphone, system
to system.
I will post the different methods of Burn In and the audio files of Sinusoidal Sweeps in the Next post....Till then...Peace!

Dirty Politicians!!
Politicians like to tell people what they want to
hear - and what they want to hear is what won't happen.
Paul Samuelson
I m a greedy politician!! //
Paul Samuelson
I m a greedy politician!! //
All People
just shut up and listen//
Cast your
votes for me,while i amass notes for myself //
Cast your
votes for me,while i get all the wealth //
I eat money
while people cant even afford a meal //
Mi kasa su
kasa,your money i steal //
Against me
you ll appeal??..well me n the judge hav a deal //
Well i roam
in helicopters //
While people
cant afford doctors //
I fool you
in my campaigns //
I say i l
get rid of all of your pains //
We wear
white clothes on the outside but inside we are all stained //
I say in my
rallies-“things will never be the same”
//
I promise my
supporters that i l bring change //
But after
all i m a greedy politician i l never change
//
I hav a
swiss bank account //
So much
money in it i cant even count //
I increase
the prices //
It leads people
straight to the bar to get indulged in their vices //
The country
depends on me to protect in n i buy defective MIG’s //
In the
battlefield they fail n break like twigs
//
I am
rich-as-a-bitch while the country is broke-as-a-joke //
I be chillin
in my mansion while the people of the nation are havin a stroke //
I get my
WIVES expensive jewellery piece //
I give my
son the BMW car keys //
While people
struggle to even pay the school fees //
I drink
honey while you are stung by bees //
Politics is
just a game i play,its a game i
play-my-way //
N i am here
to stay,to kill my country slow n steady day-by-day //
My lifes
real good //
Million
people die widout any food //
You people
hav to bear me,you people hav to struggle
//
While with
peoples lives i juggle //
we mess with
the nation,our life’s a celebration //
When you
vote for us it’s an open invitation,to fuck you over n give your sorry ass an
abrasion //
The country
is under my invasion //
I am even
worse than the British were //
Watch how i
rob the country while its’s under my watch,beware!! //
The people
pay tax //
I take that
cash n put it my stash //
I just need
to win the election //
I need ur
support,i need ur love,i need the affection //
The public
is my bitch-just needed for personal satisfaction //
I am like
uncle schrooge,i swim in money //
I am a
trickster like bugs bunny //
But the
difference is he eats carrots and i feed on gold KARATS //
Shout out to
all the youth of the country to be furious,
Stop
politicians who are corrupt,
Its time for
a revolution,its time for rebellion to erupt,
Its time for
corruption to stop!!

Hats Off to M.W.A and here's why....

How to understand headphone specifications?
1)Frequency Response: Before buying a set of headphones check the range of Frequency response ie Bandwidth.It does not necessarily mean that a set of head/ear phones with wide frequency range provides a great driver.For completely assessing the frequency response only a set of numbers will do no good i.e.,20Hz-20kHz only gives us the simple frequency response.We also need to check the 3dB single line graph of the driver response.For example if a sound is supposed to start and suddenly have a sharp end,shows how well a driver responds.
2)Sensitivity(dB) : The name is very misleading.You may think that Sensitivity has something to do about sound levels.But the truth is "Sensitivity" is just a measure of how effectively the earphones use the power they receive.Earphones usually do not fully use the received power,they waste some as heat.So keep in mind that Sensitivity is solely an efficiency test.
Tip: Higher sensitivity earphones are less power hungry but still give a better performance at the same amount of power.
3)Power Handling and Impedance : Recommend power handling and impedance for mp3 player earphones
32 ohm earphone - 100mW peak / 50mW rated
16 ohm Earphone - 200mW peak / 100mW rated
These power handling recommendations are based on earphones with a sensitivity rating of 104dB and higher, going a little less if fine. If the earphones your going with have a lower sensitivity rating you would want the power handling to be less.
