The filter design approach presented here manages an attractive compromise that produces filters with good crosstalk cancellation, short impulse responses, and a linear phase. As a starting point, basic cancellation filters are considered, i.e., ideal pulses with delay and inversion. These are modified in the frequency domain with a gain applied so as to obtain a nearly spectrally flat total power at the ears. This modification allows to substantially reduce the coloration of the basic cancellation filters at the price of a small decrease of cancellation performance.
