Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a method to rank headphones according to the frequency response and also examine the reration between the frezuency response of headphones and its sound quality. We have presented the head rerated function (HRTF), which is measured at the point(the distance is 1[m]) in front of an ideal (distortion less) loudspeaker in free space, as an ideal frequency response for the design of headphones. We have also examined the effectiveness for the design of headphones through some listening tests. Experimental results have shown that the HRTF is effective in the design of headphones. From this point of view, we therefore examine that we can rank headphones and also examine the relation between the frequency response of headphones and its sound quality through some tests.
