Convention Paper

Assessing Influence of a Headphone Type on Individualized Ear Training

Authors: Kim, Sungyoung; Olive, Sean

AES Convention 138 · Paper 9272 · May 2015

Abstract

Technical ear training has been provided for two groups of engineering students. The treatment group received and conducted the training using a professional-level headphone and the control group did same training with their own consumer-level earphone or headphone. To investigate a possible influence of a headphone type, both groups took two standardized matching tests before and after 15-week technical ear training. The comparison of two test results shows that the headphone type significantly differentiated trainees' matching performance of the treatment group from the control group.
