Picked up a Senheiser PC-350 SE recently and was blown away by the ridiculously bad sound quality. Huge peaks around 500hz/2khz that made listening to them unbearable. It was like someone took a crappy AM radio and held it up to one of those megaphones they use to yell at hostage situations. Obviously they're new and need to be broken in, but I seriously don't think that will fix these guys. They have some major resonant nodes - to the point of actual ringing. Did I get a bad set?
In any case, I've gotten them to be at least listenable with Equalizer APO and the following config (derived from REQ and my DBX RTA-M to find the most egregious peaks) :
[edits : manual tweaking these]
Filter 1: ON PK Fc 2,133 Hz Gain -6.4 dB Q 5.74
Filter 2: ON PK Fc 379 Hz Gain -5.4 dB Q 4.84
Filter 3: ON PK Fc 7,301 Hz Gain 2.0 dB Q 1.00
Filter 4: ON PK Fc 677 Hz Gain -4.8 dB Q 6.19
Filter 5: ON PK Fc 186 Hz Gain 2.5 dB Q 2.00
Filter 6: ON PK Fc 2,984 Hz Gain 2.0 dB Q 1.00
Filter 7: ON PK Fc 1,292 Hz Gain -2.9 dB Q 2.65
Filter 8: ON PK Fc 530 Hz Gain -7.5 dB Q 2.61
Filter 9: ON PK Fc 315 Hz Gain -4.8 dB Q 8.48
Filter 10: ON PK Fc 1,946 Hz Gain -2.6 dB Q 6.93
Filter 11: ON PK Fc 881 Hz Gain -3.5 dB Q 3.51
Filter 12: ON HS Fc 6,000 Hz Gain -1.16 dB
They do take a lot of power to run and am just using a SB X-Fi to drive them - but I really don't think that should account for this sq.
