Abstract: A controlled listening test was conducted on 31 different models of around-ear (AE) and on-ear (OE) headphones to determine listeners’ sound quality preferences. One-hundred-thirty listeners both trained and untrained rated the headphones based on preference using a virtual headphone method that used a single replicator headphone equalized to match magnitude and minimum phase responses of the different headphones. Listeners rated seven different headphones in each trial that included high (the new Harman AE-OE target curve) and low anchors. On average, both trained and untrained listeners preferred the high anchor to 31 other choices. Using machine learning a model was developed that predicts the listeners’ headphone preference ratings of the headphones based on deviation in magnitude response from the Harman target curve.
