Abstract
One of the headphone’s basic requirements is to maintain a stable fit on the head and ears. The current study aimed to quantify head movement when wearing a headphone, and the results of this study illustrate an essential requirement for the durable design of headphones [1]. The study consisted of two phases: Phase 1 – The distribution of questionnaires to headphone users (n = 427). Of the 427 users who completed the questionnaires, 30 users volunteered to participate in phase 2 of the study – Observation and analysis involving head movements monitoring and video recording. Thirty healthy participants conducted their typical work activities in the office while the IMU recorded their head movement data. The research resulted in a basic requirement for stability of the headphone designs that inclined into the various positions of fit that the typical users wanted out from them with the least challenges.
