Abstract

When the overall listening experience is rated, listeners are asked to take every aspect into account which seems important to them, including song, lyrics, mood and audio quality. The results of two previously conducted experiments revealed a significant influence of the signal bandwidth and the spatial reproduction format on the overall listening experience. In this work, a systematic analysis is applied to the results of these two experiments with the purpose to investigate listeners in more detail. Regarding rating the overall listening experience, the results show that listeners can rather be described by continuous variables which reflect their preferences than clear categorizations of different listener types. Furthermore, a regression model for predicting ratings was significantly improved by describing the listeners with such continuous variables. Copyright:
