A few years ago I got a pair of SR-80s that I've been increasingly less impressed with the more I listen to them. Harsh and irritating don't begin to describe them.
I started comparing some frequency response charts (thanks to headphone.com) and I decided to try doing what I could with a graphic EQ to level them out, since buying my dream pair of HD650s is out of the question at the moment due to lack of funds.
Essentially, I inverted and copied the frequency response onto the EQ as closely as I could, and the results are surprisingly good. I can stand to listen to them for long periods of time now, and they actually have some satisfying bass response. At least I know that I have something I can live with until I'm able to upgrade now.
For any other owners of SR-80s who want to have a stab at it: (And yes, the curve really is this wonky.)
