Will this product get an accurate reading with headphones?

I have no idea! I used this product as an applause meter for a Halloween costume competition so that much detail was not necessary (not that I would notice anyway).

I assume you are asking if you can use it to read how loud the headphones are? I think it might depend. It is measuring sound pressure, so it needs to be able to "feel" the same pressure that your ears are. If they are headphones that have cushion cups, just put the headphones over the microphone on this meter, and you should get a good reading. On-the-ear headphones it should read ok, too, I think. However, I don't think it will help at all with earbuds, as they depend on a seal to the ear canal. Hope that helps.

I don't understand the question, but regarding accuracy of readings, I have no other calibrated instrument with which to check the accuracy of the readings displayed with this product. Generally, they appear to be reasonable based on published noise decibel readings.

I do not think so. It is hard to measure sound loudness with high accuracy anyway, so any calibration would have to be better than the factory, and for some specific purpose. I would just use it as it is, factory set.

Harry,Yes, but note that this product uses the dB(c) weighting, which is "flatter" across the frequencies, and more typically associated with measuring total sound exposure. For your use, the dB(a) scale (which more closely follows the sensitivity of the human ear to different frequencies) might be more appropriate, since I assume the amplification is so the audience can hear. Also, remember that this is only a single reading, and distribution is important for acoustics... particularly amplified ones.

Not unless your adjusting it via your headphones. It's a simple compact device so it just plays what you put on it. No settings to adjust- a perk and yet a downfall all at the same time

It is an expensive solution. It will give you the boost if your headphones can take it. There are probably much cheaper solutions.

I am not familiar with your headphones but I have found that amplifier makes a difference but might denned on sensitivity of your headphones. I use it with my iphone an my cowen mp3player

I suppose theoretically there should be but I'll be honest abd say that if there is then it's very small as I havem't noticed any difference when using headphones and feeding a powered 2.1 sound system

it will give you a reading, but it wont be accurate for that. It will just be measuring skin temperature, not body temperature.

Depending on the distance, it will be less accurate the farther away you get. It should give a decent approximation at that distance.

I think so. It plugs into a receiver and receives signal from ur iPod to any device w a 30 pin. So if that's what ur by headphones gets signal from you'll be all set.

I would assume if your headphones are bluetooth. But honestly I would look for a different product. I was very unhappy with this one

Not in the slightest. If you get the connection moist you will have noisy readings.

Sorry, can't help in that regard, I only use it in a home setting. But I will comment that I'm in the process of getting a second replacement under warranty and have little confidence in the product. My Plantonics headset is over 10 years old and still functions, but isn't quite as accurate.

Yes, I just tested it. FYI, use the RCA jack outputs for best sound. The 3.5mm jack is for low power headphones only.

Mine is totally fine. Normally, inside the electronics, the sound processors decode the audio before sending them to the speakers. And these signals are pretty well synchronized. I think the audio track you tested might have louder sound on the right? Worse, you might have to go to a doctor to get your left ear checked.

If you are going to use a measurement mic, the computer program or the frequency spectrum could provide the pre-amplification that you need. it is more accurate if there is no pre-amplification in the input.

This is a device that receives Bluetooth signals, not a transmitter or broadcaster. Therefore I do not believe it will work with headphones as you intend to use it.
