I have and LOVE the H9i, and they also have that harsher, almost "metallic" treble sound out of the box- but using their app EQ to push the sound warmer (close to the middle between Energetic and Warm) works surprisingly well to fix the sound for me and put it in a place I really like a lot. I'm curious if that would help the sound on the H95 as well!
Thanks for your impressions!
I‘ve never really liked B&O‘s EQ, as angelom writes, any changes to remove one offending part affects the rest of the frequency range and so it is always a case of replacing one issue with another.
The metallic timbre (again, as angelom points out) is unlikely to be curable with EQ, even a good one; and you’ll probably destroy any detail these types of headphones (i.e. closed back, ANC, Bluetooth) can dig up in trying to get rid of it. It might be possible to reduce it by moving it to warm, but I think you will negatively affect the overall sound, including the soundstage which is a relative strength.
But, if you like the effect their EQ has on the H9i, it is possible that you might find a similar adjustment gives a pleasing result on the H95. It has been far too long since I listened to the H9i to make any comparison or accurate statements regarding that headphone. Sorry I couldn’t provide more helpful information.
