Stereophile headphone measurement article


HiWire

Recommended Posts

Essentially the author goes over some of the challenges that you face measuring headphones (specifically the FR). He talks about getting accurate readings from the headphones on a dummy head and how headphone position alters the measurement from one reading to another.

Then he goes on to talk about the various ways you can go about applying corrections to the measured curves based on Free field or diffuse field response. He talks about the work of Thiele and how the headphone industry doesn't seem to have a consensus about which is better, FF or DF.

Then there's a bit with a dog.

He then goes on to show the FF and DF corrections for 4 headphones and how the graphs differ and so forth.

It's all very gripping. Truly neat read. It should show up on Stereophile website in a few months. It's in the August issue.
