How are your ears doing?

At 26 I managed up-to 17khz, how about you guys?

[Mystic Mungis]

I'm 19 and I managed up to 17 as well

[Daedroth]

I'm 24, and I could only hear up to 15KHz

[Azusa]

I'm 25 and i got up to 14 kHz

[Xahid]

lol, I am 33 year old, and I can hear all of them up to 22kHz !

B/W: I am not music lover ....

[Berserk87]

I could hear all of them with my headphones maxed.

I couldnt hear past 17 kHz at normal volume.

[Jimmy0]

I am 21 and can only hear up to 16kHz...

Perhaps if I put earphones in I would be able to hear a bit further. :p

What ist the Frequency Response?

The frequency response specifies the lowest and highest frequency that the acoustic transducer can reproduce. These limits are always set at the point where there is a 3 dB drop (on the lower and upper frequency limit). Unfortunately, this is not standardized, so it is often the case that some manufacturers ?cheat? a bit. Whether headphones really have a frequency response of 20 to 20,000 Hz, for example, remains an open question. The question of what the curve of the frequency response looks like also remains open. Is it linear, or does it go up and down? You would be able to see this on the frequency response curve, but it is rarely included, since it looks pretty ?horrible? for most headphones.

I am 43 and 12 was the highest I got.

[cork1958]

When I first saw topic, I was thinking my ears are bleeding!!

I am 53 and could only get up to the 10 mark!! :(

Shouldn't have just had that Metallica - Sad But True just now cranked so freaking loud.

[FMH]

20kHz for me!

Ha, your ears are as good as new! :D

[qdave]

Wow my ears are surprisingly good.

28 and i could hear 17khz.

[Shaun N.]

31 and 17khz too. I heard a feint 18khz but we'll stick to 17 :D

[garwin]

Iam 29 and I hear 17KHz.

At first I was worried as I couldn't hear 14+KHz and it was a problem with the headset :)

Most humans cannot hear past 20! At your age that would put your hearing at superhuman levels! Sorry, but I seriously doubt that you can hear those higher frequencies!

I'm 53 and can hear 16 clearly and I am almost sensing something at 17, perhaps I am imagining that I can, not sure!

I'm 39 and can hear 15 kHz clearly, 16 kHt faintly.

[neoraptor]

this is like comparing apples to oranges since all are using different speakers etc

[+John. Subscriber¹]

23, 18Khz

All consumer speakers/headphones/earphones should still be able to generate up to ~21KHz with ease.

EDIT: Also, the human ear has difficulty receiving signals above 20KHz so this test is a bit off anyway.

that's what most of the people talking about it in comments !

but I can hear it, either its not true 22kHz or its myth that people can't hear above 20kHz, bcoz, im hearing it, its very low but i heard it !

[omganinja]

I'm 23, I got to 18khz

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Upto 17

nope

[Midge]

24 and i can hear upto 20khz maybe 21khz but i can't make my mind up, i can hear a sound, but its not an audible tone, its just a sound... i can't explain it :p

[+John. Subscriber¹]

nope

You think? I say that because I've had some sennheiser cx300s for years now and they can do 21KHz? Just a thought.
