I might be talking a lot of bull now, but is it possible to lower the impedance on a pair of headphone ? I don't even know if you could say so.
I have a pair of Shure E5 and there is this midrange peak that i don't like at all that muddles everything (especially when i raise the volume).
By looking at this chart

i can see that it's this peak that muddles everything. How do i know it's this peak? I fired up an EQ and listened with other headphones how this freq. sounds and found it similar to my peak that i don't enjoy.

Am i making sence?

Thanks

No.. impedance can't be lowered, since it's in the circuit & wiring of the original design. You can try to even it out by adding impedance to compensate for it.. I don't know how you would do this to only a certain frequency though.

I thought the E5s midrange bump was higher in frequency. What frequencies were you boosting on the eq you used to simulate this anomoly on the other phones? What type of eq-parametric, graphic or ? were you using for this test?
