Abstract
In this paper, a subjective assessment for sound quality evaluation of earphones is introduced. Although instantaneous switching among assessed stimuli is very important in the subjective assessment from the simultaneous comparison's point of view, it is physically impossible in the subjective assessment of earphone. Thus, this paper proposes an indirect assessment method using recorded stimuli and accompanied pre-processing and the assessment results are presented.
