Hi John, I am wondering if you have any information on their personalization approach? I have worked a bit on that problem, and I know that you can either do it by some visual/scanning input (e.g. using a camera and extracting morphological dimensions from images), or some acoustic input (e.g. taking some reference measurements and try to infer the shape of the HRTFs at all directions from these), or tune parametric HRTF filters by giving the user some active listening task (e.g. a localization game).
I could see OSSIC being in the second category, but they do not advertise any microphones inside the casing (and even if they had, from that distance you can measure mostly the canal response rather than the far-field HRTF useful for binaural listening). Probably you can get a rough estimate of the distance between the two ears without any of these approaches, to tune some rough ITDs based on a sphere, but this is not exactly the HRTF personalization advertized in their website? I am thinking of trying them, and any additional info before buying would be welcome.
