Results

Recommended Results

Recommendation priority is: oratory1990 > Crinacle > Innerfidelity > Rtings > Headphone.com > Reference Audio Analyzer.

oratory1990

index - oratory1990 (reddit.com)

oratory1990 measurements have been done on Gras 43AG and 43AC couplers, the same which were used to develop Harman target responses by Olive et al. and therefore use Harman target responses for the equalization targets. These results are recommended over all other measurements because of this reason. Harman target data is in the compensation folder.

Crinacle

crinacle's IEM Ranking List – In-Ear Fidelity
crinacle's Headphone Ranking List – In-Ear Fidelity

Crinacle's in-ear measurements have been performed with IEC 60318-4 coupler and are therefore compatible with Harman in-ear targets. This fact also earns Crinacle's measurements second highest ranking recommendation after oratory1990. Crinacle's over-ear measurements use the same ear simulator attached to a MiniDSP ears pinna. The measurements done on this system are not as accurate as oratory1990's but because of the high quality ear simulator, these are a bit better than rest.

Rtings

Headphones Table Tool - RTINGS.com

Innerfidelity, Rtings and Headphone.com measurements have been performed on Head Acoustics HMSII.3 measurement system. This system is not an industry standard anymore because of the rigid pinnae.
