The document compares the frequency response of headphones without equalization (EQ) to the response with EQ. It shows graphs of the frequency response, EQ curve applied, and error histogram. With EQ, the response is adjusted to more closely match a target response curve, reducing errors compared to without EQ. The EQ was applied through 10 filters across the frequency range to compensate for deviations in the raw response.

*preference rating prediction based on:


[1] S. Olive et al: "A Statistical Model That Predicts Listeners' Preference Ratings of In-Ear Headphones: Part 1" (2017)
[2] S. Olive et al: "A Statistical Model That Predicts Listeners' Preference Ratings of In-Ear Headphones: Part 2" (2017)
[3] S. Olive et al: "A Statistical Model That Predicts Listeners' Preference Ratings of Around-Ear and On-Ear Headphones" (2018)
The normalized preference ratings are used, where zero deviation from target equals a preference rating of 100
