Listen Creates Harman Target Response Curve Test Sequence for Headphones

As a complete audio test solution in a single package, Listen's SoundCheck software is continuously updated to reflect industry's innovations and changing requirements. As part of its commitment to continuously offer the latest test and measurement routines, the Boston company just announced a new SoundCheck test sequence which predicts listener preference of headphones based on statistical models developed by Harman International.

One of the highlights, among the many Harman announcements at CES 2018, is undoubtedly the new AKG N5005 headphones, a high-end, in-ear model, engineered according to Harman's own research on listeners' target curve preferences by Sean Olive, Todd Welti, and Omid Khonsari. The new AKG N5005 combine one dynamic and four balanced armature drivers with four exchangeable sound filters to enable customized sound, letting music enthusiasts fine-tune their listening atmosphere.
