Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to obtain the relationship between the stability of wearing headphones and the evaluation of users' subjective comfort in high-frequency scenarios. The experimental results show that when the user wears the headset to complete high-frequency actions, the “displacement” of the headset relative to the ear is one of the main reasons for the discomfort of wearing. It is found that there is a non-linear relationship between the stability of headphones and the evaluation of wearing comfort, which may be due to the fact that the stable headphones squeeze the users' ears in the headband force or ear cushion shape and size, which has a negative impact on the comfort evaluation.
