But have you really tried using it without power cables?

Power cables

Interesting. So, you're trying to match your home setup to the setup you hear at the shop? At least in terms of a frequency response curve? Isn't that a bit dangerous? I mean...as in, if you listen to a pair of great speakers in a well optimized room, doesn't that make you want to 'chase...

College professor. I don't know if I had a particular goal in mind other than getting a good pair of headphones with which to listen to music. After researching a bunch, I pretty much settled on Hifiman as it seemed to be the company offering the best price/value, in general, across multiple...

Also, wow, that's a cool story! Yearly trips to Colombia and getting recruited by music labels and then producing work that blows you and them away, all while using some janky bluetooth headphones? So, I guess now you have a mobile setup and an office setup. Is there a lot of mobile/...

Cut back on the cocaine frequencies hahahhaha :D Love it. I will definitely try what you said. I'll try to listen more carefully and cut back on my cocaine intake.

It's definitely cool to have professionals like @martel80 willing to help us! I think it's good to approach it with a sense of humility - we can learn a lot. I'm wondering about those (I don't know if they use them anymore?) sound boards, where you could tweak frequencies on them with dials, I...

So cool! I'm curious, what is it about the nanos that made you want to spend the money having them professionally EQ'd and, I guess, use them as your professional environment working headphones? I've been swapping and swapping between your EQ settings and my 24 other ;_; nano testing...

Definitely not reverb - I meant more like a bit more presence in the bass/sub-bass. Anyway, it does help a lot, thanks! I will try tweaking it a bit more and, if I feel like I have a version I am comfortable with, I'd like to share it with you and get your feedback! Also, if it doesn't bother...

Your extolment of these headphones is high praise, indeed! I'm glad you were able to find headphones and tuning that can bring you such pleasure! It also seems like, not only have these headphones brought you musical enjoyment but, through working with martel, they've also brought you a much...

Could you expand on what you mean by time? A track with X amount of time takes X amount of time to play it. Are you saying that, by changing frequency ranges, certain notes/frequencies will appear slower/faster? The best info on time domain I found after googling briefly was from here...

Thanks much for the files! I'm still listening to tracks and trying to gather what I feel like could be improved on. One thing is that I think the bass/subbass tuning is a touch soft and could use a bit more presence. Absolutely not in a basshead way, but there are many songs where I feel...

Well...why not just buy the Sennheiser Orpheus or whatever other headset, following that logic? Also, if you want to say the Ananda Nano are cheap, I think you would also say the Arya Organic are cheap as well? It seems like, with the Ananda Nano, Hifiman released a pair of very technically...

Yeah, I'm definitely not familiar with the realm of what you all do in audio engineering. My goal with starting this "let's get a good EQ that generally sounds good" was to use Peace or something similar. There are very few available EQ settings for the Ananda Nanos - googling for XS, Aananda...

Ugh, this is terribly annoying. I feel like Equalizer/Peace APO is so popular because it's effective, free, easy to use and widespread . No way I'm spending money on software that a free option replicates exactly what I would use it for. Pedalboard seems to fail as, even after renaming the...

From what I read, Pro Q3 is an audio plugin? What does it plug in to? I read that @TheR0v3r said he was using Pro Q3, but there was no base software listed to load it into. Are both of you using sonarworks?

Could you upload a screenshot or type out the 'finalized' audio EQ from you and martel? I downloaded the files he uploaded and then tried to scavenger around for something that could open those ffp files. Was not successful. So, no real way to open the files and see the configs. Sounds like...

So, something like this? I'm also trying out @TheR0v3r 's bass shelf

Looking at his Peace APO, I think his low shelf filter is using the regular low shelf filter setting and not the Q as slope filter setting. The Q as slope filter setting will have a letter 'Q' placed on the lower part of the shelf display

Yes, those lows are a bit crazy. I'm wondering, how would you change the curve for more definition and resolution? I like the sub bass, as there are just some songs that use large/oversized drums that it's crazy good on. I definitely have been trying to tune for more detail and retrieval in...

I'm using peace / equalizer apo

I also think it would be a great experiment and something that can help other nano users.

Can you let me know if I have made your EQ better or worse? I spent like...more than an hour trying to alter some values just for mostly one song - Fleetwood Mac - Landslide (1) and Tracy Chapman - Fast Car. (2). I spent maybe 10 minutes? on Fast Car. I tried to keep the reverberatory...

Understandable, as you're looking primarily for a headphone with superb technical qualities, I would assume - especially speed, textural reproduction ability, etc. I do wonder, however - could perhaps you, rover and hardstyle put your EQing skills, after you've found the neutral monitoring...

This seems to absolutely kill violins and orchestral music. Completely hollows them out. I guess it technically sounds more reference? But oh my, the trade off is not even close to worth it in terms of musicality, I think. I like your previous ones much more - this one feels like you...
