HiWire Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I quickly browsed through an article about headphone measurements in this month's Stereophile. It's worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrice Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiWire Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 The other interesting thing in the article is the discussion on headphone output impedance. There seems to be a lot of variation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
