Here you will find different EQs I created for the Boom 2. They are based on measurements but I had to readjust them by ear afterwards to make them sound more similar to the real speaker. These settings are meant to be used without BassUp but you can always activate BassUp for even more bass! “O...

You will get my EQ settings for the SoundCore Motion 300 which should bring the frequency response closer to the following speakers: * Earfun UBoom L (one setting for upright placement, one setting for flat placement) * VIFA Helsinki * Bose Soundlink Flex * Bose Soundlink Mini SE Please keep in mi...

2023-09-13 19:21:03 +0000 UTC View PostI finally need to keep you updated, as I had several setbacks recently which somehow made me lose motivation to post something. One setback was Earfun who withdrew their cooperation offer for the Free Pro 3. This made me lose a big source of potential income that I need so urgently right now beca...

I want to tell you the story around the recently released and already praised Soundcore Space One headphone.
Initially I was asked for a paid review about this headphone and was sent a sample unit some weeks ago. The sound was so horrid that I didn’t accept the deal also because there wer...

Recently I was negotiating with Earfun regarding a tuning for the Free Pro 3 by me. But they just offer the option of a 10-band EQ with the default tuning being already pretty bad, thus I cannot offer anything usable for that model unfortunately. I tried convincing them to create the basic tuning...

I finished a neutral tuning for the Free Pro 2 which should offer a similar spectrum to neutrally equalised speakers in a room and should sound similar to my neutral headphone target. They all do not sound exactly the same, but it was close to impossible to achieve this, also as the ear canal bei...

I was not inactive the last 2 weeks, but too busy to post anything as I had set up my listening solution in the living room again and spent most my time to fine tune my headphone target a bit more. At the same time I tried to achieve a similar result for in IEM, which in my case is the Free Pro 2...

Some tracks I collected a while back. As usual some tracks may be missing from Spotify but also Apple Music removed 1 track in the meantime which I had to replace with something else:
I received my sample of the Free Pro 3 and wanted to share some details with you.
When looking at the images (old Free Pro 2 always to the left) you can see that the new one increased in size slightly. Not only the charging box got larger but also the unit itself is slightly thicker now wh...

I haven’t posted any playlist lately because I haven’t listened to a lot of music recently before having finished my final EQ for the HD58X and my preliminary EQ for the Free Pro 2. I was mostly just listening to pink noise or my usual test tracks during doing my adjustments, as I didn’t ha...

Like nearly every year we are spending our summer holidays in Italy and we already finished our 1st week which I would like to share some impressions from with you.

I had to reupload the video because the recording had some imbalance. My current microphones lost some sensitivity on one side and although I tried to compensate for this, the speaker recording appeared still too far to the left.
The compensation I used for this recording is bas...
2023-07-18 10:08:46 +0000 UTC View PostLike mentioned before I created this setting quickly before leaving for holidays to have some listening solution on the go. It was just a rough first adjustment to achieve a sound which was closer to the target I managed for the HD58X. As for an IEM the ear canal is the only sound forming factor,...

We arrived in Italy yesterday and I am currently at the beach listening with the Free Pro 2 and a completely new tuning which I quickly finished the night before leaving.

Here you can find my recent EQ for the Sennheiser HD58X with more or less fresh pads. I was using this headphone intensively since I got it in May, thus it should work for brand new units quite well. This EQ should represent "true neutral" sound with this headphone with no obvious bass or treble ...

I was not satisfied with my previous settings and tried to improve them based on the sound I was hearing from the KH80. I think my new settings sound quite a bit more neutral, although I was not able to make the bass even flatter due to lack of further adjustments.
Nevertheless a speaker wi...

Please listen with my previous X-EQs for the HD600 and HD58X to get the "right" sound.
Below you can see the KH80 placed in my living room as shown stock (grey) and equalized in black. Averaged RTA measurements with moving microphone at listening position.(unsmoothened).:

I had ordered a new UMIK-1 microphone but noticed that it measures differently to my old one despite using the included calibration file. Therefore I also bought a SoundID from Sonarworks which again deviates from the others.
