Harman target

The Harman target (curve) is a research-derived frequency response target for headphones and loudspeakers, developed from listener preference studies. It specifies an ideal bass and treble response that satisfies most listeners, though bass preferences vary by age and gender, and it applies only below the transition frequency.
