You are right. But is the difference so big?

I will make a preset for my K701 and then I will post it.

I test my Triple.fi 10 with the sine-gen, but I couldn't find any peaks. With my K701 I have find peaks, notches and slopes.

I'm really astonished how hilly (can I use this word? my english isn't very good, sry) the K701 is. At the frequency of 8950 I hear the signal almost complete on the left, but at the frequency of 9220 almost complete at the right.

Now after four hours of work here is my first result with the K701. I have only used the SineGen and the Electri-Q Equalizer. I tuned the Equalizer live, i.e. I listened the Signal of the SineGen and at the same time I changed the setting of the Equalizer.

Here is my result:

8000 Hz | -9.0 dB | 0.1
8800 Hz | 13.0 dB | 0.1
9500 Hz | -3.0 dB | 0.2
10500 Hz | -2.0 dB | 0.2
11000 Hz | -4.0 dB | 0.1
11600 Hz | 2.0 dB | 0.0
12500 Hz | 9.0 dB | 0.3
13200 Hz | 1.0 dB | 0.1
14000 Hz | 7.0 dB | 0.2

Best regards

Would it be easy to equalize and/or worth my time to equalize my pair of M-Audio Studiophile Q40's?

Thansk a lot

Is there a plugin that provides per-channel EQ curves? I ask because my left ear has several significant dips in frequency response that my right does not have.

 

[ninjikiran]

Around 2000 on sinegen I seem to hit quite a huge peak. Is this normal? My next loudest peak is 6153, after that nothing else compares.

Here's my current EQ for the AKG K701 that I bought "slightly used" (meaning break-in status is a coin flip at this moment). Software used is Izotope Ozone 4 as a Foobar VST plugin, but you can still read the values off the image for reference.

Listening to the sine sweep and pink noise samples before and after EQ shows a significant difference. Does a very good job of taming the top end of the spectrum.

I thought this was gonna be a simple way to decide what EQ you should set your iPod to. but then i read the first paragraph of the first post. O_O

Just ran into this post. This is going to be fun. From a fellow Portlander...Thanks PiccoloNamek!

 

[dongringo]

Could someone please tell me how to install Electri-Q in foobar? I put the dll in the foobar components folder and have VST Wrapper in Active DSPs in foobar and I'm not seeing Electri-Q there. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

 

[dongringo]

Nevermind, got it, sometimes the obvious isn't as noticeable, like a tray icon. lol

Hi there,

My appologies for this but, and I read the first ten pages, I don't understand how you mesure your headphone
I'm not talking about software, but material.

Do you have a special mic for your ears ?

Hello.
First should say, its VERY useful topic, thanks to author!
Even registered here to leave a comment

I have rather simple system (see profile). But even basic equalization brings great result! I definitely felt that music became much more pleasant for ears. The most difference I heard on my favorite Manowar. After listening with equalization and back to old "flat" settings it seems that Eric Adams muted into a hobbit or a dwarf with absolutely unnatural, high, "toon-like" voice. Just awful

FYI I'm using Electri-Q and my settings are now:

5750 Hz -10.0 dB 0,200
12250 Hz -6.0 dB 0,300

But they are still very far from final version. I killed largest peaks, but high freqs is still very "wavy" (dunno is it right word?

) and there are slight uplift on 1-1,5 kHz, so i'll continue this job
