It means that the drivers reproduce sound without any emphasis on a particular part of the sound. A 50Hz tone is going to have the same real amplitude as a 6KHz tone. Note that that doesn't mean that to your ears it'll sound like a 50Hz tone is the same as a 6KHz tone, since the ear has different sensitivities to different frequencies. That's why some people prefer a "warmer" sound that has the bass slightly emphasized naturally. An example of those would be the Bose QC15's which I own. |
