Dear Sursound list,
(Apologies for cross-posting!)
We are running a web-based MUSHRA listening test and are looking for
listeners. It compares methods that render first-order Ambisonic
recordings to binaural headphone audio, against a binaural recording as
the reference. The material comes from two sources: the 3D-MARCo
database (Sennheiser Ambeo for the Ambisonic signal, Neumann KU100 as
the reference) and the dataset of Zhu et al. (real-head recordings). The
test is a follow-up to our AES AVARIG 2026 paper
(https://aes.org/publications/elibrary-page/?id=23351), and the results
will go into a journal paper that I am writing with my colleague Szymon
Zaporowski.
The test takes about half an hour and is best done in one go, because
progress is not saved. You need a laptop or desktop computer (not a
phone), ideally with Chrome, wired or good wireless headphones (please
switch off spatial audio and head tracking), and a quiet place. It
starts with a short headphone check (left/right and an antiphase
screening after Woods et al. 2017) and two training pages, and it is
anonymous: no name or email address is collected.

The test is open until 20 November. Please feel free to forward it to
anyone who may be interested. Thank you!
Best regards,
