This work is part of a research dedicated to the development of systems and methods of capturing and reproducing multichannel sound for applications in immersive environments for music, sound art, bioacoustics and environmental monitoring. This paper focuses on the evaluation of hearing quality in a binaural context for headphones reproduction of recordings in six channels with non-coincident hexagonal capture using a device developed at LASom. Several HRTF models were compared through renderings alternatively using Max/MSP and the OpenAir plug-in in DAW. In order to define the HRTF with best performance (greater similarity to the original reproduction), subjective evaluations were implemented. The best result obtained was attributed to the KEMAR model in OpenAir.
