No offense, but no. And the only reason is because I’d have to start over on my EQ profile for them. Until now I thought they were pretty much 10/10 already.

It has been in the back of my mind to get around to trying them based on your recommendation, but it hasn’t gotten to the top of my list yet.

That sounds interesting but I have my doubts as to how good AI can possibly be at this.

Well it’s starting with a non-personalized FR measurement from an unspecified rig. So I can make a pretty good guess that it won’t be very good. Not to mention in the demo he asks it for a music genre specific EQ preset. See https://forum.headphones.com/t/getting-used-to-it-the-benefits-of-owning-multiple-headphones for why that’s not necessarily a good approach. :wink:

It’s actually tempting for me to buy one just to play with since I don’t have a desktop amp right now. But I think I’ll save my money and pass.

Nope. Changed my mind and have one on the way. While I don’t have a lot of confidence in the built-in presets and the AI EQ features, the rest of the feature set checks all of the boxes for my desktop/work source. And maybe I can somehow feed the EQ AI my own measurements and/or targets. That should be fun to play with!

@AudioTool What adjustments have you made on your Empys?

You guys have me motivated to step outside of my comfort zone and I so I adjusted the 140Hz band -2.5 dB with Q:0.8 to start with.

It seems to have cleared up some of the detail on the low end. Tom Sawyer kick drum is more defined … Red Brachetta improved bass articulation … Tool’s Reflection improved bass articulation and texture. Some tracks sound a bit brighter now. I will continue to listen for a week before I make additional adjustments. Tiny steps! LOL

I feel I’m at a bit of a disadvantage because I don’t have multiple headphones to listen to A/B. It would seem to me that a great way to cut your teeth on EQing is to try and match sound signatures between headphones.

I’m still not convinced what I am hearing isn’t psychoacoustic! :laughing:

I just started with the EQ preset that @listener created and tuned/refined/personalized from there. Owliophile.com can be useful for this.

Interesting live stream today. Can’t wait for you guys to condense that to a few nice articles and expand on the new knowledge and insights gained from knowing your HRTF.

What brand/model/thing is that you’re holding?

There is no brand / model, these are mics that I made based on a design from Blaine and a revision by Oratory1990.
