**HARMAN Curve

The result of decades of studies and research into listening preferences and the metrics of great sound, the HARMAN Curve is the acoustic response curve that has achieved the highest subjective scoring in blind listening tests. Dr. Sean Olive, Senior Fellow at HARMAN and Past President of the Audio Engineering Society, has led further work around the science of headphones and developed a predictive measurement score for optimal sound with over-ear, on-ear, and in-ear headphones. This pioneering research was used in the development of the Mark Levinson № 5909 and has resulted in the incredible acoustic performance realized in these reference-class headphones.
