Hi,

in the context of physiological recordings with small animals (guinea
pig) in a small anechoic chamber, I would like to use headphones as
speakers between, say, 100 Hz and 35 kHz. I'm interested in the
flattest response possible. I've selected a bunch of headphones, but
the shape of their frequency response is never given on their
constructors websites. Has someone performed tests ? I wonder, do they
have a flat response (more or less) or has their response been adapted
to the human ear ? Do you have some advice on some of these models ?
Here are the selected models:

I like this last one because it is magnetic shielded, which is
especially interesting when we perform intracerebral recordings which
are perturbated by magnetic fields but their S-logic system is not
that nice for my use I guess.

Thanks
Boris
