Roland sound canvas output impedance11/27/2022 ![]() ![]() Above 1kHz it doesn’t look as nice anymore. ![]() The bass extension and linearity is excellent from <10Hz to 1kHz with a slight emphasis on the lows. The treble tonality is a bit off and not refined yet smooth and soft.īecause of this tonal character it can be listened to at higher SPL and for longer periods.īelow the frequency response of the Roland RH-300 ( Right, Left) The only areas where this headphone thus is lacking is clarity/presence and treble quality. It doesn’t sound rolled-off but also isn’t very bright nor super detailed. When coming from better headphones that do not lack presence the headphone sounds a bit dull and muffled but the brain easily adjusts (a bit like the NightHawk in that aspect, but the NH is way more ‘extreme’. When listening to this headphone exclusively for a longer period this isn’t really evident and sounds reasonably ‘neutral’ with nice bass, mids and sparkling but not exaggerated treble. The area where it lacks is ‘clarity/presence’. The character is warm with a deep and not exaggerated bass.īass quality and mids is quite good. This headphone can be used quite well for Hi-Fi listening but isn’t totally neutral. The driver can handle a staggering 1.6W so will be hard to destroy with most amps.Ĭable: 3.5m terminated in 6.3mm TRS + 3.5mm adapter It has a quite high efficiency (101dB 1mW) so plays quite loud from portable gear. There is a 45mm driver with an impedance around 32Ω. The cable is supple, feels nice and sturdy and is not microphonic ! The 6.3mm part can be screwed off and then a 3.5mm TRS jack appears. The cable is quite long (3.5 meters) and has a 6.3mm TRS jack. Not stellar but somewhat better than most other sealed headphone. Height can be adjusted over 35mm so will fit larger heads as well.Ĭomfort is quite high but the ears do get warm after some time and the pads somewhat sticky. Swivel is small, about 10 degrees but sufficient. The cups can be rotated over almost 360 degrees. ![]() The clamping force is excellent, not too tight, not too loose so a good seal is possible. The pads are pleather and reasonably soft and compliant. The headphone is quite sturdy and looks nice. It is targeted at home recording and musicians. The Roland RH-300 is not a well known headphone in the Hi-Fi scene. The bigger the deviation the stronger the effect.īelow an aid to help determining the sound character of headphones with relation to the frequency response. Deviations in different severities at different frequency bands have an effect on the sound character. A horizontal line shows audible neutral response in the plots on this website. The shape of your head, bone structure, pad size, pad ‘softness, (compliance), hair or no hair and or wearing glasses may (drastically) change the frequency response of some headphones, so… your personal experience may differ substantially from these plots.įrequency response (tonal balance) is the most sound-determining aspect of headphones. This is described HERE in more detail.Ī ‘ horizontal‘ frequency response curve on the shown frequency response plots on this website thus indicates a perceived ‘flat’ tonal signature.ĪLL measurements are made with a good SEAL on a flatbed measurement rig. I do not use smoothing because some info about sound quality is lost when plots are smoothed.Īside from a small correction of the microphone itself also some correction in the lowest frequencies is applied to the plots to compensate for the perceived loss of bass when using headphones. Most measurement sites have some smoothing applied which ‘irons flat’ sharp peaks and ‘wiggles’. NO SMOOTHING is applied to the shown plots.
