Evaluating the Sound Quality of Ipod Music Stations

[tonmeister]

I'm not sure if people here are interested in Ipod Music Stations but I have posted two of three articles about evaluating their sound quality.

Part 1 deals with the listening test methods required to produce accurate, reliable and valid measures of perceived sound quality.

Part 2 (posted today) summarizes some recent competitive benchmarking listening test results on three popular Ipod Music Stations of comparable price.

Part 3 will examine different approaches to measuring their acoustical performance with the goal to try and predict listeners' sound quality ratings.

I'd be interested in hearing your feedback on these articles.

I like the evaluations. Not surprised the HK came out on top. Though I'd expect the B&W to be decent.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually didn't say in the article which one came out on top: they are coded as Music Stations A through C.
