Shure SRH440 Impression
I keep coming back to the OG SRH440. With some light EQ they have a immersive thickness that's addictive.- markanini

A moderate EQ strategy
The main issue is Beyerdynamics unit variation is known to be pretty high. It could work with individual measurements.- markanini

AKG K361/K371
My theory is that it's not that the upper mids are too hot, its that the mid-bass is recessed. Try cutting 250Hz on the HD6XX and you will hear something similar.- markanini

AKG K361/K371
Wanna hear a 8kHz peak try Beyer DT990. K371 treble is smooth as a baby's bottom by comparison.- markanini

AKG K361/K371
Tried the updated K361 in a store, the headband looked visually redesigned and the clicks were very tactile. I haven't heard of a updated K371 yet. I got rid of mine and keeping an eye on the upcoming JBL Tune 710.- markanini

AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!
More like a steal. People pay 3-5 times the price for other headphones with that feature.- markanini

A moderate EQ strategy
3kHz is a frequency where the ear is very sensitive to change, cutting it will accentuate all frequencies around it. It would also sound similar to boost at 250Hz, try both and see which sounds best to you. I use constant Q because its accurate enough for non-individual measurements and...- markanini

10kHz dips not showing up in IEM measurements is expected because they bypass the pinna.- markanini

That's why I'm impressed by AKG K371. We will see if more headphones get released that compete in bass extension and low distortion.- markanini

Some headphone have a lot off bass roll-off. If you were to use that much gain to fully match harman in the sub-bass region, you'd have to listen for distortion, and back off when it starts sounding detrimental. Or use better cans that don't roll off or distort too much.- markanini

Shure SRH440 frankenstein'd/fixed with Sony MDR 7506 headband.
Awesome looking mod. The Sony MDR7506 headband is well built and comfortable. Nice to see it can be modded on to the SRH440.- markanini
