The Speaker Testing Songs You Didn’t Know You Needed

Whether you’ve just purchased a new hi-fi system or you're searching for some fresh music to test out your gear, here’s a curated list of tracks that showcase high-quality production. These songs are perfect for demonstrating your speakers' capabilities.

Start With Familiar Music

Our first tip for testing speakers: listen to music you already know well. Songs and artists you’ve enjoyed over time across various systems will be your go-to ‘speaker testing tracks.’ Familiar music will give you the best baseline to compare sound quality and performance.

Add These Tracks to Your Playlist

Once you’ve tested with your favorite tracks, it’s time to explore new music. Here’s where our list stands out—we’ve handpicked a diverse range of tracks from different artists, genres, and eras.

Why Choose This Playlist?

Most ‘hi-fi testing’ song lists tend to repeat the same tracks, offering limited variety. While these songs are often reliable choices, we believe there’s a world of well-produced music that’s overlooked. Our list celebrates that variety, offering fresh options that will test your system’s performance across multiple sound profiles.

Discover new ways to enjoy your hi-fi system with these unique, high-quality tracks. Whether you're into rock, jazz, classical, or something in between, this playlist has something to elevate your listening experience.

We're not going to dive into audiophile jargon or tell you exactly what to listen for in each track. Instead, we've selected well-produced songs that offer a mix of deep bass, intricate details, rich vocals, live instruments, and full electronic arrangements. Listen or skip to your ears content!

We’ve linked Youtube videos for ease of listening – It goes without saying these are not the highest quality versions to use for your testing. However, we’ve made it easy for you to demo the tracks with the ease that Youtube offers. You can then add them to your own playlists. They should be all searchable on platforms like TIDAL, Amazon Music etc.
