The mic clips in Pneuma by Tool. One happens at 9:58, another at 10:16, and multiple times after 10:43 in the outro. All in the left channel. Music is a human creation and by extension it will be flawed. I like to hear flaws because it makes it more real to me.

The tracks I most use to tell apart good headphones from the not-so-good:

  • Night Club Junkie by YUC'e. The percussion notes starting at 1:14 cover the entire treble range at once and reveal instantly if there are any detail-killing peaks or holes. Makes a nice, crisp, even TSK! sound on well-calibrated speakers and top-end gear, but the consonants increasingly become underemphasized (TsK!) or outright disappear (TK! or K!) as you go down in sound quality.

  • Kiseki Musubi by Hololive. The passage at 2:53 features fast tempo, a buttload of instruments covering the entire audible range from 200 Hz up, and vocals to potentially mask it all. Notes are crisp and clearly separated/audible on the upper end of mid-fi, while they're squished together, blend into each other, are drowned out by the vocals, and/or sound like mush on anything below.

I know 50 Cent In Da Club has well produced bass, and good headphones will separate the different types of bass. Before I thought there was only bass, but with better headphones I learned there are 3 different types of bass in the song and it's fun to be able to differentiate then.

Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. He snaps his fingers, most is really hard to hear but 0:32 and 0:43 is noticeable. After that your hears will start to pickup more.

It kind of sounds like you're in the middle of a rain storm... on my regular computer speakers it just sounds like static

I can hear it pretty clearly with my AirPods Pro 2, don’t know if that makes them good tho.

Ah, well that explains why i can't hear it since i listened to it outside where i already have a low rumble sound from the environment anyway.

I can clearly hear the rain with my Kph30is plugged directly to the onboard audio. (and *5 noisy fans cooling my system)

Theres so many...

One song I been listening to for about 25+ years had the Rapper adlibing from a below and center angle that I just picked up on last week when I revisited the song. It was done so well that it felt like it was coming from my mouth in the sound stage. it kinda made me stop breathing normally.
