The Sound Leak and Girlfriend Test: A Scientific Approach to Headphones

In this groundbreaking experiment, our average consumer and his girlfriend put their headphones, the Senheiser Momentum, to the test. The goal was to assess sound leakage at various volumes and determine whether they could block out annoying sounds, such as a nagging partner.

The Sound Leak Test Begins

To begin, the duo started with the sound leak test, setting up three volumes: 50%, 75%, and 100%. They made sure the headphones were securely fitted on their ears without any hair interference. With no issue, they started the test at 50% volume. As they can be heard, "yes all right so here it is at 50% yeah that's pretty good." The consumer reported that at this volume, "it was very slightly very very slightly not enough to bother anyone whatsoever anyone who's even a foot away probably wouldn't hear a thing."

The Sound Leak Test Continues

Next, the duo cranked up the volume to 75%, and again, they tested for sound leakage. As expected, the results were quite different from the previous test. "Now I do hear this quite a bit," said the consumer, noting that at 75% volume, they could "hear pretty clearly I heard a couple of lyrics and stuff." This was a significant improvement over the 50% volume, where only slight leakage was detected.

The Sound Leak Test Reaches Its Maximum

Finally, the duo moved on to the most extreme test: 100%. The consumer warned that this setting could potentially damage hearing. As they tested at 100%, "wow that's really loud all right that's really really loud." They confirmed that at this volume, "you can hear very clearly," and it was clear that the sound leakage was now substantial.

The Sound Leak Test Conclusion

The results of the sound leak test were striking. At 50% volume, there was only slight leakage, but as they increased the volume to 75%, the leakage became significant. The consumer noted that this change was "very drastic," and it's essential to consider when sitting next to someone nearby.

The Girlfriend Test: A Unique Approach

Now, it was time for the girlfriend test, a unique approach to sound isolation. The average consumer wanted to know if his headphones could block out annoying sounds from his partner, particularly during challenging situations like the "Cup Song challenge" from Pitch Perfect. With this in mind, he prepared to put his headphones through an unprecedented series of tests.

The Cup Song Challenge: A Sound Isolation Test

To test the sound isolation capabilities of the headphones, the average consumer decided to do a series of performances with the Cup Song challenge at varying volumes. First, they started at 50% volume and tested for sound leakage and blocking out of annoying sounds from his partner. The results were impressive: "so I definitely heard all of that just now heard the same singing heard the singing from the iMac the song from the iMac and I heard the cup so a lot of stuff going on there."

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on everyone it's your average consumer and this is my girlfriend hi and today we're going to be doing a sound leak and sound isolation test aka the girlfriend test and today we're doing it with the senheiser momentum on your headphones so let's not wasting any time let's get right into it so we're going to start off with the sound leak test we're going to do this at volumes of 50% 75% and 100% and see how much the music leaks at those different volumes so we're going to make sure that the headphones are on her ears with no hair so that's not an issue and let's start it off with the sound Le test at 50% so you ready yes all right so here it is at 50% yeah that's pretty good so at 50% I heard it very slightly very very slightly not enough to bother anyone whatsoever anyone who's even a foot away probably wouldn't hear a thing so very good at 50% good job so let's crank it up to 75% and see how it does there all right so here it is at 75% now I do hear this quite a bit so 75% % was quite a jump I did hear pretty clearly I heard a couple of lyrics and stuff so definitely a big jump there so let's crank it up to 100% and see how it does and I don't recommend you guys listening to your music at 100% as it can damage your hearing but will damage our hearing for you for this demonstration all right so here it is at 100% wow that's really loud all right that's really really loud so that you click clearly heard that I heard that very clearly you already seem shaking up no it's like really loud so there it is at 100% you can hear very clearly 75% did leak quite a bit but I do think that it leaks this much because it's the on ear design so there's probably a little bit of leakage there all right so now we're going to move on to the girlfriend test can to let them know what that is sure uh so the girlfriend test is basically a test to see if um my annoying sounds my annoying girlfriend like things my nagging can be blocked out by his headphones uh and for this girlfriend test I'm going to be doing The Cup Song challenge you um it's from that movie Pitch Perfect I've been trying to master this challenge for the longest time playing the song over and over and over again um and this is my feel like I finally have mastered it and we're going to see if I can do it and if his headphones can block out all the racket that comes with it the singing The Cup everything so we're going to do this of course at 50% volume 75% and 100 100% as well and see how it does at those different volumes all right so now we're going to try it out at 50% you ready yes all right here it goes all right so I definitely heard all of that just now heard the same singing heard the singing from the iMac the song from the iMac and I heard the cup so a lot of stuff going on there 50% yeah so here it is at 75% we'll crank it up a bit see how it does there ready yes all right and go all right all right so at 75% I didn't hear the song I didn't hear her singing and but I did hear the cup banging so the cup is pretty loud but I didn't I did hear that so at 75% not bad at all so SC it up at 100% and see if you can block out the cup as well as the singing all that ready yep all right so we'll crank this up and here we go all right sorry he messed up yeah all right so at 100% it definitely did black out everything so definitely very good there so very happy with that at 75 % it did pretty good the cup was the only thing that kind of got in there so not bad definitely a pretty decent experience at 75% sound leaking was very had a very drastic change from 50 to 75% so that's something you might want to be weary of if you're going to be sitting some next to someone close by and that's about it for this sound leak and girlfriend test guys hopefully you enjoyed and if you did please feel free to rate comment and subscribe hit that like button also here's a quick message from our sponsor and be sure to listen up because it's really cool hpot Shield is a free internet security and privacy solution for all those average consumers out there who want to stay protected while surfing the web there are a lot of people out there who don't really like online shopping or doing anything serious online because they're worried about people stealing their identities well with Hotspot Shield you're able to actually do all this and actually be protected under the virtual private Network it provides so you can go online and shop and do all kinds of important an things without worrying about some evil character coming in stealing your information so definitely give highpot Shield a try if you're one of those people so if you want to get started with Hotpot Shield check the link Down Below in the description and you'll get started right away and I just want to say thanks to our sponsors over at hospy shield and all right guys that's about it for this video we'll catch you guys in the next one till then your average consumer peace\n"
