New Here? This Is The Spot To Introduce Yourself

[ADU]

I think Resolve measured version 4 of the HE560, which could be tuned a bit differently (esp. in the treble?) than version 2. I’m basing this on some older graphs of the HE560 by Oratory1990 and Inner Fidelity.

HiFiMAN HE560

This is a thread to discuss all things to do with the HiFiMAN HE560 and its various iterations. This is in all instances an open-back planar magnetic headphone, with a single-sided magnet array. Interestingly, it first arrived on the scene as a reaction to the heavier double-sided HE500 and HE-6. I’ve been told HiFiMAN worked a lot on getting the weight down, and thus the HE560 was born. Since then, this same driver platform has been used several times in various headphones and has been influen…

Headphones.com EQ Repository & Request Thread

Hello all! I’ve been hanging around the site more often and I’ve realized that a TON of people need help with EQing their headphones and IEMs. I thought it’d be great if we had some sort of centralized repository of EQ profiles either from @Resolve or myself, as well as a place for people to request EQ profiles of their IEMs/headphones for me to help with. First, there are some things readers should know about how I’m going to approach making EQs for other people, as it will be rather differen…

…but it doesn’t appear that Headphones.com currently has any measurements for V2.

All of the graphs of the HE560 look a bit depressed in the upper mids though around 2 kHz, which is fairly common on HiFiMan planars. And they do not have much of a boost in the sub-bass, even though they extend well into the lower frequencies. So those might be two possible areas to consider targeting with some EQ.

Treble response does not look consistent between different versions, so it’s hard to know what to advise there. The older models appear less bright than the V4 though.
