For the sake of addressing frequency response differences due to personal positioning, I have spent some time figuring out manual EQ based on available averaged measurements, such as those by oratory1990. The strategies detailed below avoid unwanted harshness or dullness. I will explain how...

Anyone else interested in how the EQ sections compare between Fiio BTR3 and EarStudio ES100? Can a custom EQ preset stay persistent without any third-party apps recalling it? Which has more bands?

You can find various western brand IEMs sold in bulk packaging on internet retail markets by sellers based in China and now several local retailers here in Sweden are stocking the same bulk versions. I now have a hard time finding IEMs that compare favorably to my 10-$20 favorites: Sony MH1...

EDIT: Made a typo in the title, I meant the Quadbeat 3 (not the tuned by AKG version) While I've not been completely happy with either IEM out of the box, with some EQ or modding both have given me the highest aural enjoyment. Seeing as both are discontinued and will at some point run out of...

Haven't seen much talk about this, perhaps because some noteworthy implications weren\t explicitly stated. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/initial-results-head-acoustics-hats-measurements-harman   Especially interesting is the posted curve...

Líst headphones and IEMs that have room feel

I ordered a these off ebay(probably OEM) to see what the Harman Kardon seal was about. Measurements made by a Korean site indicate that it really does follow the Harman headphone target quite well.  

I'm looking for suggestions of headphones and IEMs that resemble FSP in tone.

I'm looking for an IEM with the truest tonality. I'm currently using an EQ'd Sony MH1, while this setup fulfils that criterion, it's difficult to set up the correct EQ on my phone for portable listening. I've narrowed it down to: LG Quadbeat 2 Zero Tenore LG HBS-900 ADDIEMs MOE SS01 Dr...

All models have interchangeable pad sizes daddy love himself some velour pads! Known options: Beyer DT250 replacements Shure SRH940 replacements Pearstone/Auray deluxe Unconfirmed: HD418/HD419/HD438/HD439 Please tell if you had a chance to compare the different velour pads side by-side.

After all these years I'm still looking. The ER4 serves me great for the bulk of my listening but they're less conveniant when I need to take them off and put them back on quickly. Beyer DT250-250 was pretty close but I sold them due to the flattering effect on the sources which messed up my...

I found a product that's a direct fit:   But who knows if they're any good? Are there any others?

I've refined my method for increasing accuracy and smoothness from the ER4P and now I want to share an impulse and get feedback. If you use foobar2000 I suggest loading it with foo_convolve Download  

How does one tell?

I like good mids for rock and balanced to neutral overall. What say ye?

I re-visited these phones recently after looking for a pair of closed 'phones to hand out during tracking sessions that I'll be engineering. I say re-visited cause I owned a pair years back which unfortunately got stolen. Since then I've owned and auditioned a few nice phones so it's been...

I remember reading about a pair of inexpensive DJ cans with rather neutral characteristics a while back. Even a graph indicating the same. Now I've looked over the JVC, Technics, Pioneer and Panasonic line but none seem to match. Am I misremembering or what?

I get sore on the ridges of my ears when wearing circumaural phones. Looking for a source of thin foam sheets to place on the cups at the points of contact.

  Didn't see this one posted. Golden Ears headphone review site compared the measured response of HF5 with 6Ω and 86Ω series resistance to ER4P.   http://en.goldenears.net/index.php?mid=GR_Earphones&category=112&document_srl=1512 http://ko.goldenears.net/board/62196...

Does anyone know of a wireless transmitter-receiver that works with line-levels and has a fairly portable receiver part?

This thread will serve as a placeholder for resources and discussion related to different studies of Diffuse-field equalization for headphones and related subjects. http://rinchoi.blogspot.com/2010/05/headphone-equalization.html http://goldenears.net/board/1511583

Anyone know what closed cans would be closest to Ety HF5(and ER4P)? A bit more mid forwardness wouldn't hurt though, I boost 3dB@1k on my HF5.

I wanna convert my Beyer DT250-80Ohm into a DT250-250Ohm, the objective being flatter frequency response(the 250 measures flatter). I all need to do is add a 170Ohm resistor (difference between 250 and 80)in line with each channel, right?

I just wanna buy one pair of each size to try(oval and double-flange).
