Enrique, I don't know of a specific reference for the actual transfer function. It seems that a headphone impulse response is a function of the listener, the headphones, and the position of the headphones. By position I mean that if the headphones are taken off and reinstalled in apparently the same position that the response will change, I found this from experience and from Kulkarni's work. I calibrated headphones on an acoustic head for my research. To get at the impulse response I used a brief swept sine input, measured the output and then determined the impulse response through a least squares time domain solution, I believe Kulkarni used a frequency domain solution. Hope this helps, Brad Libbey Kulkarni, Abhijit, H. Steven Colburn. "Variability in the characterization of the headphone transfer-function." J. Acoust. Soc.
