Sound Leak and Sound Isolation Test: A Unique Experiment

In this unusual experiment, the creators decided to test the sound isolation capabilities of headphones by simulating various real-life scenarios that might trigger annoyance. They started by conducting a sound leak test, where they played music at increasingly loud volumes and asked the subjects to indicate when they heard it.

100% Volume was Too Much

The first test involved playing music at 100% volume, which caught the subject off guard. To their surprise, even though the speaker mentioned that it might bother someone outdoors, the sound did not reach a level that would be considered extremely loud in an enclosed space. The creators acknowledged that if the person were to listen to music outside, it would likely not have such a significant impact.

The Sound League Test Revealed Unexpected Results

However, when the test was repeated at 50% and 75% volumes, the results were quite different. At 50%, the sound barely penetrated through the headphones, allowing the subject to hear every whisper, snicker, and sigh that followed. It became clear that the sound isolation capabilities of these headphones were better than expected. The test was repeated again at 75% volume, and while it did allow some ambient noise to seep in, the overall effect was still surprisingly effective.

The Girlfriend Test: Can Headphones Block Out Annoying Sounds?

Next, the creators conducted a unique "girlfriend test" where they asked the subject to simulate common annoyances that might occur in a relationship. These included activities such as blow-drying hair while chatting with their partner or watching TV together. The subject's goal was to see if the headphones could block out these distracting sounds.

Results from the Girlfriend Test were Surprising

The results of this test were quite surprising, with the headphones performing well in blocking out most of the annoyance. At 50% volume, the sound isolation capabilities allowed the subject to hear every snicker, sigh, or whisper that followed. While it didn't completely eliminate all distractions, the overall effect was still impressive.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

The Sound League Test and the Girlfriend Test demonstrated that these headphones were more effective than expected at blocking out distracting sounds. The creators expressed their surprise at how well they performed in both tests, especially considering that they are not active noise canceling headphones.
