FREQUENCY RESPONSE
Headphones are tuned to ensure high frequencies, vocals, and bass levels are well balanced. This ensures dialog in movies and vocals in music are clear, while maintaining deep, impactful bass output that doesn’t overpower the listening experience.
DISTORTION VS OUTPUT
THX makes sure your headphones can easily playback high-resolution content at increased volumes without introducing unwanted distortion artifacts.
ISOLATION
THX tests the headphone’s ability to both seal in your audio and block out external sounds.
