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: # Grell OAE-1 Confidence: LOWEST Uses data from 5128, Clone KB50xx, Clone KB006x ![Grell OAE-1 (5128 + KB50xx + KB006x) Filters](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/0/a/0aa955ab60a6aba3beece9c11384bb30a3605b7a.png) Preamp: -6.0 dB Filter 1: ON PK Fc 72 Hz Gain 2.0 dB Q 1.400 Filter 2: ON PK Fc 150 Hz Gain -7.2 dB Q 0.200 Filter 3: ON PK Fc 650 Hz Gain 3.0 dB Q 0.900 Filter 4: ON PK Fc 925 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 2.400 Filter 5: ON PK Fc 1300 Hz Gain 1.4 dB Q 1.000 Filter 6: ON PK Fc 3200 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 2.000 Filter 7: ON PK Fc 4750 Hz Gain -9.5 dB Q 1.800 Filter 8: ON PK Fc 5900 Hz Gain 10.0 dB Q 3.200 Filter 9: ON HSC Fc 9900 Hz Gain -5.0 dB Q 2.000 Filter 10: OFF LSC Fc 105 Hz Gain 0.0 dB Q 0.700 Filter 11: OFF HSC Fc 2500 Hz Gain 0.0 dB Q 0.400 Adjust filter 6 for raspiness Adjust filter 7 for glare/scratchiness Adjust filter 8 for fixing the ridiculous hole in this area Adjust filter 9 for adjusting the balance between mid treble and upper treble Adjust (and enable) filter 10 for overall bass Adjust (and enable) filter 11 for overall treble Good luck, and please _please_ make your own adjustments in the treble above 2 kHz and bass.
