Audeze MM-500 please! Thanks!
I have to say here @listen_r – you’ve done a fantastic job on these. I’ve been listening to both your Hexa and HD560s for the past week and really enjoying them. Your approach to this clearly has something going for it. Kudos!

Can only find one measurement of that on a head/from an operator I don’t really trust, sorry.

Can’t find any good measurements for it, sorry.
Can’t find a measurement for it, sorry.
I don’t yet trust the measurements I’ve seen from it, unfortunately. A friend has measured an R70x Refine but the results differ greatly from what Jude measured on his R70x Refine. Once we get one in here, we can hopefully revisit an EQ profile for this one.
I’d want 5128 and 50xx measurements on our systems for Omega before making a profile. Stay tuned for that!
Atrium is kind of a PITA because most measurements out there don’t have pads listed or use different pads. I’m likely going to avoid offering presets for ZMF headphones for that reason tbh, too much of a headache. Since it’s you, let me know if there’s a specific pad you use on it and I’ll see if I can track something down.

Honestly for that one I’d just use Oratory’s preset. He’s measured a lot of units and the target he uses is (rather obviously) reasonable. His measurement of this headphone is the canonical one, as far as I’m concerned.
In case you still want one based on his measurement but with DF features though, here it is.

The stock pads which are… hmm. As far as I can tell they are the Universe Lambskin Perforated.
ZMF’s ZMF measurements: Measurements — ZMF Headphones
If you download the measurement image, there is more resolution.
Unfortunately Zach’s measurements are taken on his (weird) AECM206 rig, and I don’t have confirmation of the Diffuse Field HRTF of the ear he uses, so I don’t really have a characterization baseline to start from.
Oh I didn’t read the page closely enough. I just assumed the Atrium measurement is from his B&K 5128, but only the Bokeh measurement is labeled as such. 
It’s no big. I quite enjoy the Atrium’s stock tuning. I really just wanted to play around with tuning the sub-bass a bit.
If you click on the HATS Measurements tab, that will show the B&K 5128 measurement.
Hi Listener!
Am looking to make my Bathys frequency as flat as possible. I know this is odd, but I want it as close to a flat line as possible.
Thanks!
