Re: [AUDITORY] recommendation for insert earphones?



Hi Elana,

we are by far not experts in EEG experiments, but we recently did a study using EEG and binaural stimuli (here you can find the pre-print https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.10783) and we used a pair of Audiotechnica ATH-E50. Before choosing this specific brand and model, we experimented with a few others, looking both at the acoustic features (e.g. frequency and phase responses, etc.) and at the interference with our 64-channels BioSemi EEG, and these were the ones that behaved better (i.e. broadband response, good enough for binaural signals, and no observable interference on the EEG)...

I hope this helps.

best
Lorenzo

Subject: [AUDITORY] recommendation for insert earphones?
 
Hi all,

Our good-old ER-1 headphones have stopped working, and I see that they are no longer available...

I was wondering if people have recommendations for alternative insert earphones that are suitable for EEG studies? We use the ER-3 for our MEG experiments, but given that Etymotic is no longer emphasizing research-systems, perhaps we should switch to the IP30 system (by RadioEar)?

Any insight here would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Elana.
