My list of songs for testing...

English | Español


I have created a new post that includes my Tidal and Spotify test lists, so they will be automatically updated, you can find it here: My Test Music






When trying out a set of headphones or speakers, or any other new part of the chain, I like to listen to all kinds of music and will usually spend at least a couple of weeks using the item daily to get a feel for it.

Saying that, I have a list of songs that I always listen to at least once with each item.

Not all of these songs are good, nor are the all well recorded, but I know them well from having listened to them so many times and they help me to quickly judge if something sticks out, for good or for bad.

I have most of these tracks on CD (well, in FLAC ripped from CD) but they are also available in their majority on Tidal or other streaming platforms.

The list of songs is as follows:

Chris Jones - Long After You're Gone
