Say goodbye to the Harman target

Headphone reviewers getting the new B&K 5128 have to move on from the famous Harman Target, which we've all gotten used to using for a long time. While the headphone community is familiar with reading headphone measurements relative to this known reference point, it's unfortunately incompatible with the new headphone measurement standard pioneered by the B&K 5128, and Harman hasn't indicated they're making new research on that system public. In this video, we provide some context around that and give our thought process behind a new reference target developed for the new headphone measurement system.
