11am: Is there an ultimate target sound for a headphone? A big data perspective, with Sonarworks

After measuring over 7000 headphones spanning over 800 different models, we have made an overview of the current state of headphone sound. The data reveals that there is no common ground when it comes to headphone sound. Why is there such a huge difference? Is it for the benefit of the consumer, the recording industry, manufacturers or is everyone just lost in the circle of confusion? What do the end users want from headphone sound?

In his presentation, Helmuts Bems CEO of Sonarworks will look into lessons learned from big data collected on headphone sound and consumer preference targets. He will present a perspective on optimal headphone sound targets based on preference data collected from over 150 000 consumers.

Presenter - Helmuts Bems, Co-founder and CEO of Sonarworks
