Test Your Headphones — Check Left/Right Channels & Audio Quality

Put on your headphones and use the Headphone Test to check each ear individually. Click Play Left and the tone should come from your left ear only — if it comes from the right, your headphones are backwards or your audio output is swapped.

Put on your headphones and click the test buttons to verify each ear is working correctly.

What to Check
  • Both ears work: Sound should be clear in both left and right
  • Correct channels: Left plays in left ear, right in right ear
  • Equal volume: Both sides should be equally loud
  • No distortion: Sound should be clean without crackling
  • Good bass: Check with a bass test

For precise frequency testing, use the tone generator. To verify left-right channel balance, run a stereo test.
