S. Dimolitsas et al., DEPENDENCE OF OPINION SCORES ON LISTENING SETS USED IN DEGRADATION CATEGORY RATING ASSESSMENTS, IEEE transactions on speech and audio processing, 3(5), 1995, pp. 421-424
The effect of using headphone versus telephone handsets is characteriz
ed for degradation mean opinion score (DMOS) assessments. From this, i
t is derived that differences in opinion scores are dependent on the t
ype of listening instrument employed. Further, in the middle of the qu
ality range, opinions scores derived from tests employing telephone ha
ndsets are higher than those derived from tests employing headphones.
