Re: [AUDITORY] Headphones For Online Experiments

[Vincent Koehl <vincent.koehl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

We measured some years ago the placement-replacement variability (on a 
dummy head) for supra-aural and circumaural headphones (4 models) and 
its audible consequences. The paper can be found here :
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2015.01.023
or alternatively here :

Best,
Vincent

> Hi Bob - Do you or does anyone else on the list know if there are good data to show the amount of within-subject variability in frequency response one might get with placement and replacement of supra-aural or circumaural headphones and how that within-subject variability might vary across multiple people?  I suspect many have measured it in the lab at one point or another but published data or solid archival data would be helpful to get a handle on that (one of several) technical issue.
