A technique for identifying important measurable headphone parameters is presented. Fifty-two headphones of the same model, were computer clustered into 4 groups based on frequency response and listening tests performed to determine subjective sound quality. Correlation at the 95% significance level with the voice coil impedance was found but no correlation with distortion or frequency measures was observed.
