My first choice is always EQ - it's Effective and Quick!Your best bet is to EQ down the target area, or buy a new earbud with less sibilance.

If he's trying to reduce sibilance I think EQing down that area would be advisable.Or to EQ up the target area! For example, I use the Radsone E100's "Bass Boost" EQ setting for the B40's and a few other buds.

Carry on then xDYou're right of course. I was just jumping in, making a comment that was not really germane to the current conversation in order to confuse and obfuscate lol
Friends, do you use EQ in all kinds of situations?
I always read that to appreciate the tuning and work of the sound engineer, it is necessary not to use any kind of modification.
Interesting, so to increase bass, the key is to reduce some tuning cotton from drivers? this is strange because in all my DIY tries I conclued the contrary (at least in my MX500 mods), if I generally remove all the tuning foams attached on drivers, there is much less bass (as less tight/pressure) and soundstage becomes rough, due to too much opened holes at the same time (from shells side).You could also try opening it up and reducing the tuning foam to increase the frequency below 2khz which would help balance the sound
I rather mod first and EQ later if needed because EQ only fits to specific sources and doesn't fix every issue (although it can fix a lot of issues).Friends, do you use EQ in all kinds of situations?

When you consider all the variables involved in using earphones (see below, I'm sure there are others) it is isn't realistic to assume you are hearing exactly the "work of the sound engineer":Friends, do you use EQ in all kinds of situations?

I think some quantity of foam is necessary for the earbud to work properly, either on the drivers or on the vents. But my experience is that if you keep adding more to the vents it will flat out the sound in the expense of bass extension and clarity. Basically reduces all frequencies below 3-4k with the most effect on mid/upper bass while smoothing out upper mids/lower highs around 2-4k. For example I have 3 different sounding vidos and the only real difference between them is the thickness of foam on the vents. The one with the thickest foam (y-blue) sounds flattest with shallowest bass muddiest mids while the one with thinnest foam (new white) is the most V shaped with deepest bass.Interesting, so to increase bass, the key is to reduce some tuning cotton from drivers? this is strange because in all my DIY tries I conclued the contrary (at least in my MX500 mods), if I generally remove all the tuning foams attached on drivers, there is much less bass (as less tight/pressure) and soundstage becomes rough, due to too much opened holes at the same time (from shells side).

Many people do not use EQ. I am one of them. I just let the gear be what it is.
