Digital EQ will do the trick, and it’s free (Equalizer APO and Peace). There is no all encompassing one EQ configuration for your headphones for all genres, as recording and mixing & mastering qualitiy varies with each album, but PEQ will allow you to EQ as you see fit.
See the link below for an EQ tutorial from Resolve:
If that doesn’t work, I heard a rumor that Rekall Corp has 1980s PortaPro and Panasonic cassette content now.
You want a simple solution? Listen to as much live music as you can. Different genres, different venues. Listen carefully. Then trust your ears.
If you listen to live performances you’ll appreciate how things actually sound. You won’t be looking for punch, slam, micro or macro detail, soundstage, crossfeed or reverb. As a bonus you might take in some great performances.
Then, when you go back to your system you will understand how it isn’t like live. And you can use EQ or whatever to make it sound closer, but you will know the limitations and live with them.
Hi guys, I’m new here!
I would like to ask firstly, does the Edition XS have as good of a midrange presentation as the HD 600? I have the former but not the latter, and I am wondering if I am missing out on anything. I have noticed that on even cheaper dynamic drivers the mids are somehow sweeter, if that is a thing…did I hear it right?
The short answer is no. The long answer is, it’s complicated. There might be EQ profiles out these for those headphones, but they likely won’t match your HRTF exactly; that’s why the manual method is recommended. You can start with Oratory’s EQ and work from there, but just stopping there will only get you so far (if anywhere at all). You could also load the measurement into a tool like Crinacle’s or Listener’s, manually EQ to JM1 or DF + slope and then do the rest manually from there (this is what I’ve been doing).
Good luck!
Does anyone know of someone who modifies headphones in North America?
Thanks !
John Massaria (I believe in New York):
Don’t know a name, but the Tungsten has gotten a good deal of attention here lately:
Thanks man !
I’ll check those out
Sonos has introduced a wireless ANC headphone to compete with Sony, Bose, Apple and the like called the “Ace.”
Harrumph. I’d expect Sonos headphones to self-stream. Or be a Roon endpoint. They don’t what’s next. Sonos toothpaste?
