Oooooooook. So. This headphone is Weird™

like… really weird

I have a few measurements now and can provide a preset, but the positioning sensitivity on this design is fairly high, so please make sure your ear is sitting towards the rear of the ear cup/the headphone is pushed forward and low on your head. If not, this likely won’t sound very good.

Hell, even with this preset it probably won’t sound that much better.

I have to say, this is a design I think is fundamentally flawed in numerous ways, and if you have this headphone I earnestly recommend trying to return it and buying something more normal. This preset won’t match the “target” precisely, because the unit I have on hand sounds bad if I don’t go quite a bit further with the upper midrange cuts. So keep that in mind; you will need to adjust manually above 2 kHz or so.

That said, here’s the preset:

Adjust filter 6 for raspiness

Good luck, and please please make your own adjustments in the treble above 2 kHz and bass. It is necessary.
