Last new eq settings 6.12.14
 
Its currently 1.3.15, and since 6.26.14 I've used these settings, and I'm still very pleased. 
 
One thing I've noticed about these headphones is that lowering the 200hz setting is the most crucial to a more balanced sound.  The es5's mid bass hump causes muddying of the entire frequency response. 
 
If you really want to hear the difference between the stock sound and my eq settings clearly, try listening to something like Dave Matthews Band - before these crowded streets - stay.   I like using this track because it is very busy.  It has male and female vocals, violin, saxophone, a plethora of drums and cymbals, a busy bass line and so on.  Its easy to hear things getting muddy without eq.  Even if all you do lower the 200hz frequency, you will likely understand what I'm experiencing.
 
The 120Hz setting is a low shelf
 
      60 Hz  Gain     2.0 dB      Q  3.5
    120 Hz  Gain     2.0 dB      Q  On rockbox this will be .7  Otherwise, since this is a low shelf setting there is no Q
    200 Hz  Gain    -4.0 dB      Q  0.4
  1450 Hz  Gain    -2.0 dB      Q  2.0
  3000 Hz  Gain     2.5 dB      Q  2.9
  4500 Hz  Gain     2.0 dB      Q  4.8   
  7400 Hz  Gain     1.5 dB      Q  4.8   
12000 Hz  Gain    -3.0 dB      Q  1.4   
 
These are rockbox settings which uses "Q".  If you want to translate these settings into any other EQ format, here is a site that converts Q to Octave.

nobody's tried this eh?

How about posting up a before and after...

What are the rest of your settings at on the rockboxed clil zip? Im getting better results with the eq turned off.

 

[Br777]

everything else is turned off. i only use the eq to adjust the sound.. and i use the precut function to make sure nothing clips

Some clarification needed - does the 7,4,2,1,7 represent the Q values of each peak respectively?
 
If so, I found the sound of the curve fun but it compressed the sound stage quite a bit and colored the sound.  I shall try late on my rockbox give you my impressions on that device.
 
 
Here are some settings I have been using recently that I feel opens up the sound more, and is a little closer to neutral to my ears.
 
[size=12.800000190734863px]

	Frequency (Hz)	Gain (dB)	Q
Peak 1	146	-2.50	0.50
Peak 2	3150	+2.00	2.42
Peak 3	4465	+2.80	8.50
Peak 4	5800	-1.50	5.50
Peak 5	7180	+3.00	7.70

[/size]  

 

[Br777]

yes, those are the q's although with the funky way the q numbering goes on my clip zip there may be some numbers that repeat as you scroll through..
 
i'lll try yours , i'm curious to see someone else's opinion on this.
 
thanks!

it cant be rockbox, or easy-q

i'm not following your q settings question.. yes, they are the q for the rockbox settings.  but then it sounds like you say you tried it, but yet you say you will try it on rockbox later.   If you tried those settings on a non rockbox eq they will not be the same, b/c q settings differ from eq to eq.  their values are not universal across eq's
 
thats the same reason i asked you what your eq settings in your chart above are for - easy q and rockbox dont have ranges that would allow such settings in their q sections.   not to mention rockbox wouldnt allow numbers that werent factors of 10 in its frequency selector

 

[Zalken]

I'm using Fab-Filter Pro-Q with Foobar 2k
 
Also the 7180 Hz entry should have a gain of 1.5, not 3.0 (a typo)

 

[Br777]

ok, so just understand that using the q settings from my rockbox settings wont work for your eq.
 
if you have a screen shot of your curve, i'd love to see it.
 
thanks

 

[Br777]

the OP has been completely re-written to reflect a true neutral EQ curve thanks to the accudio app by golden ears, and some time i took to replicate their work on other eq platforms.

 

[Kootlas]

im new with the whole Equalizing thing,and i couldent find any Accudio EQ setting for RE-262,i know the IEM itself is a colored sound one but if anyone could share a Screenshot of his Curve i would be greatful.

 

[Br777]

refined easy-q settings.   much closer now
 
new rockbox settings coming soon.

 

[Br777]

yet again refinements... especially on rockbox.. much better now since i got a sescom a/b switch box which allowed me to switch back and forth between accudio and rockbox with no delay.
 
anyone who says they can compare two sounds of .. anything.. without zero delay a/b switching is a lunatic.. there, I said it....
