That sounds like a good option for me to look into.


That was a great question. I really was curious about that part too.

Thanks guys

So all it can do is change the relative volume of a frequency. So if a certain high frequency annoys your, EQ it down. If the mids sound a bit distant, EQ them up. Getting the right tonal balance can change a headphone drastically. But two headphones, EQ'd until their graphs match, still won't sound the same.

I grew to hate the Beyer T5p.2's. I then bought a Schiit Loki which completely transformed them.

Another was the Koss E95X. I had to crank all four bands to give them any body at all.

Can EQ be used to make headphones sound exactly similar?

Oratory1990's answer to that question (the entire subreddit is interesting to peruse) :

My own experiments to try to measure headphones near my eardrum :

I don't feel comfortable with asserting that two soundly engineered and manufactured headphones (most aren't) equalised to the same target at my own eardrum sound exactly the same, and anyway that would be a subjective impression, but let's just say that I'm certainly not not going to try that based on the above measurements, and that the more I'm practicing this the more and more I'm getting aligned with Oratory's answer above.
