New headphone measurement system consisting of a 1/8” microphone and newly developed HATS (Head And Torso Simulator) with a coupler that have realistic ear canal shape is proposed to enable entire frequency response measurement from audible frequency and higher frequency area up to 140 kHz. At the same time a new frequency response evaluation scheme based on HRTF correction is proposed. Measurement results obtained by this scheme enables much better understanding by enabling direct comparison with free field loudspeaker frequency response.
