Preference ratings and 32 magnitude frequency response curves

This repository comprises two CSV files: PreferenceRatings and MagnitudeFrequencyResponses. The former includes preference ratings obtained from 56 naive assessors (30 Danish---DK, 26 Japanese---JP) of 32 headphone curves over several music programs in several trials. The latter includes the magnitude frequency response curves evaluated by the assessors, expressed as gains of a 30-band graphic equalizer whose bands are centered between 31 Hz and 25 kHz. The curves were either derived from eight popular closed circumaural headphones, measured  with a Brüel & Kjær Head and Torso Simulator 5128C, or otherwise obtained from the literature. The details of the methods, results, etc. are published in [1].
