Abstract

This study case explores a novel personal listening device in the context of spatial audio which, in normal use, is located behind the listener’s head. Several techniques were applied to binaural signals with the intention of rendering spatial sound in front of the listener. Implementations of binaural, ipsilateral compensation, crosstalk cancellation techniques and combinations displayed mixed results due to the device’s haptic feedback and proximity to the user’s head. Listening tests revealed that the implemented techniques worked to some extent opening new research questions for future research.
