Left / Right Stereo Test

Play test tones separately in left or right channel


If you hear both sides at once, check your headphone wiring or OS balance settings.

Stereo Phase Test

Compare in-phase (center) vs. out-of-phase (wide) sound


In-phase should feel centered in your head. Out-of-phase often feels wider, hollow, or unstable. If you can’t tell a difference, check headphone polarity or stereo wiring.
Channel Bleed

Play one side quietly. You should not hear the other channel.

Level (dB)


Cover the playing ear; if you still hear a clear tone on the other side, your headphones or settings may have cross-feed.
Spatial Sound Playground

Drag a dot around your head and click to hear the sound from that position. Uses HRTF panning.

Drag a dot, then release to audition; or click any dot to play instantly.
Spatial Presets (Artificial Music)

Pick a preset to hear multiple sources moving around you. Works best on headphones.

Free Online Headphone Test – Stereo, Phase, and Frequency

This page provides a free online headphone test for left / right channel verification, phase and polarity checks, and frequency sweep testing. Whether you use studio headphones, audiophile gear, gaming headsets, or in-ear monitors, this tool helps confirm sound quality, stereo imaging, and headphone performance without installing software.


Left / Right Channel Test

The left and right channel test ensures stereo channels are not swapped. Press “Left” to hear a tone in the left ear, and “Right” to hear it only in the right ear. Correct stereo channel orientation is critical for music mixing, cinematic surround sound, and positional audio in gaming. More about stereo imaging: Wikipedia – Stereophonic sound.


Phase and Polarity Test

Our phase test compares in-phase audio (centered sound) with out-of-phase audio (wider or hollow sound). Headphone polarity issues can cause bass loss, poor stereo width, and unstable soundstage.


Frequency Response & Hearing Range

The frequency sweep test lets you hear tones from 20 Hz to 20 kHz – the typical human hearing range. Use it to detect distortion, driver imbalance, or hearing loss. Professional measurements: Rtings.com – Frequency response testing.
