(54) TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTING AN AUDIO PROFILE FOR A USER


(57) Techniques for selecting an audio profile for an audio output device include generating a plurality of vector representations, wherein each vector representation of the plurality of vector representations is based on a candidate audio profile of a plurality of candidate audio profiles; clustering the plurality of vector representations into a plurality of clusters; selecting a first candidate audio profile that is representative of the plurality of candidate audio profiles included in a first cluster of the plurality of clusters; presenting, to a user, a plurality of audio test patterns, wherein each audio test pattern is rendered based on the first candidate audio profile; receiving, from the user, at least one response based on the plurality of audio test patterns; and determining an audio profile for an audio output device based on the at least one response of the user.
