The recently proposed Binaural Cue Adaptation approach aims to adapt binaural signals to listener head movements during headphone playback, so that sound sources appear fixed in space instead of to the head. Unlike other methods, it is applicable to pre-rendered signals or binaural recordings acquired using artificial heads or on-ear microphones. This contribution introduces an improved version of the original algorithm with explicit consideration of signal coherence. Since the human auditory system perceives coherent and incoherent signals differently, this is expected to improve the subjective quality of the output signals.
