Headphones for Research Purposes

[Daniel Carey <d.carey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

We are currently planning on investing in some new headphones for our lab, in advance of a busy upcoming period of participant testing. Up to now we have used Sennheiser HD-25s for the bulk of our testing (typically involving psychophysical thresholding for complex tones, perception of environmental sounds, and perception of tone complexes).

We are considering other potential options, and wanted to query any other brands or models anyone had been using with success. Ideally, we are looking for something durable, but without a hefty price tag. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Dan
