SynBAD: Synthetic Binaural Audio Dataset

The SynBAD dataset contains synthetic binaural renders of various audio contents. The dataset samples were generated by applying specific Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTF) from subject D2 of the SADIE II database to various audio contents using the Binamix Python library. This dataset has been fully described in the BINAQUAL localization similarity metric paper. SynBAD could serve as a benchmark dataset for comparing binaural audio quality metrics or sound source localization algorithms.
