CanJam Dallas 2024 Headphone Measurements

[listener]

Howdy, y’all! We did Dallas!

And we a got a tooooon of headphone measurements done on DMS’s B&K 4128, as mentioned in DMS’s video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4JPwUjJ4rU.

Now before we get to the squiggles, there are a few disclaimers and notes I wanna put out there:

• There were a few measurements that got overwritten accidentally (it’s hard managing this much data across 3 operators) so apologies if someone who got their headphone measured can’t find it here.

• IEMs as measured on the 4128 look… pretty weird/incorrect, so I’ll leave those out for now. If any of you got your IEMs measured by us and want to see them though, feel free to DM me and I’ll get you sorted.

• To that end, if anyone got their headphones measured by us and wants the raw data or a single average for the L/R channels for use with EQ, again feel free to ping me here or in our Discord server.

• And finally, we measured some things at the show that we’re not exactly allowed to share publicly, so apologies if you saw us measuring things that you don’t see below.

Anyways, go ahead and scroll down to see all the measurements we’re allowed to share! Thanks to all who came to see us in Dallas and let us measure their stuff

Hope you’ll put something like a squig.link for your data.

[Atriya]

Oh no… you measured my Focal Utopia22 but I don’t see it here: I guess it got overwritten?

[listener]

Yeah Sorry, Atriya

For what its worth, I remember your unit measuring with excellent channel balance & looking bang-on exactly like every Utopia 2022 I’ve ever seen.

So if you wanted to use the measurements for EQ, you can try the community average on my 5128 site and be reasonably sure that your unit and the measured average align quite well.

Sorry again, man

[Atriya]

No problem, thank you anyway for measuring them!

@listener: The Bracelet that you wear in the Dallas CanJam Video, is this the Meze Bracelet?

[EminentOne]

heylo

i think i was able to address the inbalance with the recent new pads with your assistance
later at home i thought about this and went to depress pad around the 3m tape perimeter and detected a tsk sound like when tape peel up while going around the pad indicating some tape may not have been adhered at that section
going around a few times now with no more sound of that i believe it was not fully sealed
after i can no longer sense the left side lower volume level anomaly any longer

ty @listener for share and help to identify this

Happy to help, homie! The imbalance really wasn’t bad to begin with but better is always better

[Epic225]

Thanks for measuring my Focal Clear Pro. It’s cool looking at all the measurements like this

[Alexw0w]

Waiting for the rest. Aka Arya Unveiled and Isvarna
Good stuff, keep it comming

[ADU]

Nice of y’all to do this!

Amazing guys thank you - really needs these on a proper “squig” like website though were we can really drill down into comparisons.

And amazing that you got to measure I had a HD 414. I had one for many years (it was a favourite all day headphone - it was so light) but I did sell mine a few years ago before I got properly back into headphones. For a super ancient model it doesn’t look that bad.
