ABX test

An ABX Test is a type of test scientists use to figure out which sound people like better. It stands for A-B-X Test. In this test, someone hears two different sounds - labeled A and B - and then they hear a third sound, labeled X. The person's job is to say which sound - A or B - is the same as X. Scientists use the results of the ABX Test to decide which sound is best.
