100+ Head-Fier
Hey there! As a bass music lover, I'm struggling with turning the flat bass response of my LCD-2 Classic into tight and punchy. But my question I guess would apply to any headphones.
I started with oratory1990's, then mixed in AutoEQ. As a result, I got something I like in the mids and highs regions but not the lows.
Yes, I have much stronger and bigger lows, but they're still a bit flat and bummy. I need more presence of the lows, not the overwhelming bummy sound. Sometimes IEMs produce such sound, but they don't have the benefits of full-size planar magnetic headphones. I believe this is possible to achieve with an EQ.
Almost every EQ preset has a very straightforward manipulation with the lows: low-shelf and add some peaks around 100hz.
I wonder if one of the options is attainable after all:
1. Follow good EQ preset examples to adjust the lows. (Couldn't find any)
2. Send headphones to an engineer in order to create an EQ preset. (Is kind of people even exist?)
PS I've talked with some engineers already who told me that flat bass response is a much better option compared to colored headphones because with flat response any result is achievable.
