Headphones
 Sony MDR-7506 headphones |
With exception of the EEG Labs, headphones are the standard audio delivery system in our labs. In dedicated audio labs, such as the Sound Recording Lab and the VoiceKey Lab, headphones are part of the standard equipment. In other labs (e.g. Cubicles), you can borrow one of our recommended headphones (listed below) from your Lab Coordinator.

ℹ️Left and right side are usually labelled on the ear-cup or headband. On headphones with a cable on one side (e.g. Sony MDR-7506), the cable is almost always on the left.
⚠️When using the headphones for time-critical audio stimuli, please (ask the TSG to) check your audio settings and scripts before running your experiment.
