Focal Bathys on Bluetooth. looking for an EQ to make them sound dead neutral (perfectly aligning with the target frequency response of the BK 5128) . I want it to sound as accurate to the BK 5128 target response it can be.
Hi Listener, thank you so much for doing these!
Any chance you can do the Hifiman HE560 (V4)?
Andrew already measured the HE560 on a recent video, but did not upload any EQ for it. I also noticed the measurements are similar to the HE6SE v2 on Oratory’s database, but that did not specify which version HE560 it was.
I would advise against only taking results from one head.

Thank you! I was mostly trying to dial in the bass and 2-4kHz range, as it just did not sound that natural with my previous EQ settings. But adjusting your settings in that area did the trick!

Hey Listener,
Thanks so much for the help! It sounded mostly how I wanted, and with a couple tweaks of the different frequencies I got it there! Super helpful!

Hey Listener!
Once again, I’m inquiring about another EQ! could you possibly do a focal bathys eq as close to the most recent harman target? That would be very helpful! trying to figure out my listening preferences!
Thanks, Camí

Hi for the final time!
The last thing EQ I ask for is what you think would make the Bathys sound the best they can possibly be. My preferences are in terms of tuning seem to be around neutral, however I’m quite interested to see what an expert like you would improve about the FR of the Bathys! Thanks!
The first EQ I made would be the one I choose as a baseline, and then I would make preference adjustments as needed from there (likely reducing bass and > 8 kHz treble even more).
Hi Listener,
These EQ profiles are awesome. Very helpful as starting points to tweak to personal taste. I find I’m surprisingly changing very little on the ones I’ve tried other than reducing bass filters on all of them. I find that preference curves are way too “bassy” for me. I’d love a Profile for the Focal Elex. For such a popular headphone, I’ve found very few online EQ profiles to try. I’d like to add my thanks for the incredible work to compile all these profiles. Bravo!!!

Can u make for OG HD800 , HD600 og hifiman He1000v2 stealth to ? 
Hi there! Could you make an EQ profile for Truthear Zero (blue)?
@Wild-ArT Per the post I am currently replied to from @Vilmalith, I can’t find any HE1000v2 Stealth measurements, sorry.
For the HD 800, I’m going to say following the EQ for the HD 800 S from the first post in this thread is what you should do, and then manually lower around 6 kHz with a Q of 2 until you are happy with the sound (in addition to the other prescribed adjustments).
