Well nvm, thanks a lot!

Would you change anything on the Mega5EST? If yes, that would be interesting to see.
Same question for the Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk.
As I have absolutely no selfcontrol, I now have the Dita Project M and the Thieaudio Oracle MKIII on the way.
Any EQ profiles for those?
Feel like I’m asking a lot here, so please feel free to ignore the requests if you are too busy :slight_smile:

Definitely. I’d basically make both fit this target. Both have too late of an eargain peak and too much bass and upper treble for me.

Don’t have any 5128 data for Project M, but I’d suggest just cutting treble as it looks mostly okay until you get above 3 kHz.

AKG K712 PRO please~!thx

Hey Listener! I know its a long time after Hifiman edition XS’s EQ but I wondered where did you get the 4128 measurement for the Hifiman edition XS? I tried looking at DMS’ channel but I could not get it, but admittedly I did not search too deep :sweat_smile:, I hope you can remember where you got it!

Hi Listener,
Here is yet another request for your EQ version for HE1000 Stealth.
There are measurments for HE1000 Stealth from sai(unheardlab) and vsg(techpowerup) on squig.link, and of course Oratory1990 measured 4 or 5 units.

Hey, I know you were a big fan of the U6T. Do you use any EQ for it at all? I haven’t seen anyone share any presets for it anywhere so I thought I’d come here and ask the reviewer who still like them. Thanks.

All I can do is give a preset based on one head because VSG’s measurement fixture doesn’t have a DF HRTF.

Think its from WoodenEars or DMS, can’t remember, sorry!

THANK YOU ! Thanks. Thanks.

Thanks. I will try them out later when I can swap the modules to m20.

Hey fam! New here, would love to know if you could provide an EQ for the Sennheiser ACCENTUM (for both Bluetooth and usb-c audio if possible :crossed_fingers:t2:). Thanks!

Unfortunately the Accentum has crazy positional variance in the midrange such that I can’t really recommend anything concrete outside of suuuuuper wideband stuff like “If there’s too much bass, cut bass with a wide-Q low shelf” etc.

Sorry!

This thread is simply fantastic, thank you for all the hard work! I really appreciate that you take the time to suggest which individual bands to adjust for things like sibilance, which is a godsend for someone like me who happens to unfortunately be quite sensitive in that region.

As for the requests:

beyerdynamic TYGR 300 R
FiiO FT1
Symphonium Crimson

I’ve tried this suggestion from Resolve and it helped a lot in dealing with the trebly nature of the Crimson but I’m sure it can be improved further:
https://x.com/ResolveReviews/status/1718307595080118550

And now for a couple of “just for fun” requests, both out of curiosity and in case I eventually end up giving these a try:

DMS Project Omega
PhilPhone

Once again, beautiful work so far, it is immensely appreciated.

Late reply, I read up and the Arya OG has the same FR as the V2 so I opted to use that instead and I have to thank you. Tremendous improvement over stock - thank you very much!

I just picked up a pair of Focal Azurys and Hadenys which I’m trying out. Will try the profile you did for the Azurys shortly and get back with feedback. I could not find a profile for the Hadenys - do you mind making one perhaps?

Also, on of the live Headphones Show you did a while back Resolve shared his experience on the Azurys - in this section of the episode him and Goldensound discussed how to EQ in some of the dynamics thats been lost on the new Focals. Most of that discussion flow above my head - could you perhaps elaborate on this if you recall the discussion :slight_smile:

Hi listen_r - I would appreciate your recommended PEQ settings for the Focal Elegias. Thanks so much!
