Dr. Sean Olive of Harman International gives a presentation at CanJam NYC 2024 detailing his preliminary work on adapting the Harman target to the new B&K 5128 measurement standard. In this presentation, Dr. Olive covers how the Harman in-room baseline compares to the diffuse field HRTF, what a beta curve on the 5128 looks like, initial testing of Harman IE and other in-ear alternatives, along with new audio research that's being done.

Big thanks to Dr. Olive for providing us with the slides. Note - some slides have been corrected since the original presentation.

Also, shoutout to Joel Merrifield for filming this presentation and putting together the video.
