In headphone playback, different factors contribute to a deviation of the presented from the intended stimuli.

The data indicate headphone specific variability, suggesting the need for the variability to be considered as headphone selection criterion.
It is shown that the variability can have considerable influence on the stimuli presented, especially in the frequency range above 6 kHz. This paper gives a detailed inspection of the blocked auditory canal transfer characteristics for one specimen of each of three different circum-aural headphone models frequently used in Psychoacoustics, two operating on the electro-dynamic, one on the electro-static converter principle. Most important are the headphone transfer functions, their inter-individual differences, and the intra-individual variability due to repeated positioning on the subjects' heads.
