New Headphone Measurement Target FAQ

While we appreciate the Harman research, the target we're used to isn't applicable to the new standard. This video is to help explain some of our thought process behind the new headphone reference target we're developing for the B&K 5128 and give an FAQ to address comments and questions from the community. We're still in the process of testing our target, for both over-ear headphones and IEMs, but we'll begin measurements on the new test fixture soon.
