@Malveaux   Measuring setups can be quite different from place to place, mostly because they might be measuring different things. We were measuring the response of a microphone placed inside of a tube simulating the ear canal with a silicon ear attached, whereas as far as I can tell, they...

I'm in an auditory perception lab at MIT, and we're looking for the most "objectively flat" headphones for doing experiments: that is, the headphones that by objective measurements have the flattest frequency response as measured at the eardrum. We also want to minimize any colorations like...
