Here are the eight headphones I found this weekend doing some spring cleaning. The control for this experiment is to record the same 4 sentences directly from the headset to my computer so you can hear the difference in sound quality for each headset. The input volume remained unchanged for each so we could get a baseline comparison regardless of your computer’s volume.

Next, I sat at my desk and opened up the Audacity app on my Mac to record the direct audio input of me speaking, moving my head around and typing.
So, I closed the door to my office which has 15 foot high ceilings and is not acoustically treated. The only thing I want to learn is what my voice sounds like transmitted through each headset to my computer. But we’re not testing that variable in this experiment. (actual recordings linked below) Time to experimentĭepending on your internet bandwidth and the VoIP system you use, audio quality may vary. I never considered that each headset could sound drastically different and whether quality of the audio had an affect on my message and I was curious enough to conduct a quick test.
I realized I only paid attention to how music sounded on the headphones but never actually tested how I sounded to the other caller.
