Headset Comfort Data

Headset Comfort Data

Headset comfort is determined by weight, padding, earcup size, and contact pressure.

What contact pressure measures, and why it matters.

Diagram illustrating contact pressure with arrows showing force distribution at contact points, labeled 'Contact Pressure' at the top.

Contact pressure is measured with force in newtons (N), where 1 N is the force of a mass approximately of 1 kg (2.2 lbs) applied to a surface. For this purpose, we are measuring the tightness of the headband.

Generally the less contact pressure, the longer the headset can be worn without discomfort. Contact pressure is a leading cause of headset discomfort and can lead to a compression headache. Our headsets are designed to relieve that pressure.

Methodology

Contact Pressure

A specialized cutting machine with a metal blade, mounted on a metal frame with a ruler for measurements. It has black headphones hanging on one side, and backing materials like bubble wrap and cardboard boxes nearby. In-house bench test

We used a pressure measurement tool, seen in the picture, to test the tightness of the headsets reported below. We used a standard measuring distance of 14cm.
