Earbud target curve tests

[waynes world]

I'm also completely removing the bass rise (for clarity's sake.) I also figure if users want more base, they can put that in via eq. The bass tuner in wavelet is excellent.

There's less distortion with this release too. If you use the peq file, the preamp value is -7dB.

Unlocking those features costs more than the Nameless lol! I might end up doing it though.

Appreciate the increased clarity here. Also noticed the mids are less shouty on some tracks (not that v1.3 is, was just comparing the two at a higher volume), probably due to the less treble roll-off. Sound stage is better too.

Ah yes, forgot to mention that, the mids are less shouty. I didn't expect that and I'm not sure why that ended up happening but I'm not complaining.

I really like how the monk 120 responds to compensation,pretty dramatic difference in my opinion.

Lol, so true... A reminder of the crazy value prop in these budget buds.

Not complaining either! Great work, Sam.

I might be mistaken but did you by any chance make compensation files for the ME80?

@Sam L where did you grab the harman and oratory curves from for the comparison? Or did you create your own .mdat files?

@Sam L do you already have the PEQ for the Nameless (v1.4)? Excited to try it out.

imported the curves from autoeq github then made my own .mdat files

Mind posting or of it won't upload, sending the .mdat files to me via email/pm?

Hi Sam!

I am using the 1.1 version for the Rambo. Would love to try out the 1.4 target curve for the Rambo!

With the 1.1, I feel that the highs are sometimes too shrill. Also the bass becomes muddy in a few songs with a heavy bass line.

10/27 update

I still haven't gotten around to setting up python on my laptop to continue the work of generating compensation files. Autoeq is picky with the exact version that it works well with. I need to set aside some time for some trial and error. I'm hoping to get things going in the next week or so.

Here is the most recent version of my earbuds target curve, v1.4:

Totally agree with your observations. 1.1 was really a stab in the dark and didn't produce what I was looking for. v1.4 might be a bit too neutral, which some will appreciate. For version v1.5 I'll probably probably bring back a low shelf from 125hz. Just a tad. And I'll also probably offer two versions of 1.5 (one version with more bass and sub bass, the other more neutral).

I tried your Ks Naneless PEQ values on my UAPP and liking it a lot. Only thing I tweaked was 120Hz region where I wanted a little bump. Mids to upper treble transition sounds very accurate to my ears. Better than my EQed AKG N400 which I considered one of more tonally correct sounding TWS in my possession.
