In contrast, the Oratory curve has more filters assigned to the mid-range so it will be more precise there. So the AutoEq curve is matching the target curve in the high frequency range much better. The AutoEq settings however have 3 filters in that range (and one at 9.6k Hz). There's only a single filter in that range. It appears that the Oratory curve is more "lax" when it comes to high frequencies >10k Hz. Instead you have to make trade-offs and decide where you want to be more precise and where you allow some more room for errors. Since the number of filters is limited you cannot get arbitrarily close to the target curve. In practive there is of course a difference. The single filters might be different, but if you add them the result can still be (essentially) the same. That shouldn't worry you too much though. For example it appears to me that AutoEQ does not incorporate High-Shelf or Low-Shelf filters in their EQ settings.

It probably comes down to the way that the software calculates the filters. (btw, none of those are affiliate links, not in this for money but chasing the absolute best sound possible). Should know whether I was right in a few days. I'm hoping I can get similar low and mid clarity that I'm getting from my FH7 (my hypothesis is the FH7 will be the better here) but with cleaner treble range once I load the EQ. I ordered a 2.5mm balanced cable just so I can give these guys a fair shake. I settled on the CCA C12 which EQs almost as well as the S8F but is $50 instead of $490 (plus not dealing with shipping from China). Then I started going through the list looking for IEMs that had crossover switches, were $100 or less, and responded decently to an EQ. The problem is I don't want to spend $500 for another pair of IEMS. It EQ's quite well and is generally considered an excellent IEM for under $500. This lead me down a rabbit hole trying to find what it would cost to find an IEM that really responds well to these EQ settings. But looking at the measurements graph of the measured EQ response, there's still some slop in the treble range. I'm really happy with the FH7 with EQ applied. I've been digging into the EQ recommendations for the last couple hours. Could be clutch if you're into headphone modding but also want to chase a target sound curve. So if you have a measurement system for headphones/IEMS like this, you create an EQ profile for your actual headphone, not the sample that crinacle got his hands on.

What's crazier? Jaakko posted the python code he used to create the recommendations. I was considering pulling the trigger on a hardware EQ deck to add bass to the Koss ESP/95X on the way from Drop, but this should do the same thing, but cleaner. Since the software and settings are completely free, it's kinda crazy not to try out. I already thought the FH7 was pretty solid, but I think it sounds fantastic with the EQ profile. It doesn't make the BLONs into an "A-Tier" IEM, but it makes it a pleasing muddy audio experience. After EQ, I can hear all the details in the BL-03 that I can in the FH7, but just not as clearly. I tried listening to BLON BL-03s with the EQ settings for FiiO FH7s. And as you'd expect, loading an EQ for a different headphone/IEM makes your music sound like hot garbage. It made the music quieter and I had to turn of EQ and rapidly turn down the volume to A/B test the EQ settings vs stock tune. It's a feature.Īt first, I didn't care for it. Also, you should know that Peace will disappear for a few seconds between switching EQ profiles. Make the changes in the file for more accurate results. Note: you can also use the Peace UI to change EQ settings, but then it forces you to use increments of 0.5 db instead of 0.1 db that the EQ recommendations use (edit: unless you change the default in PEACE's settings). I added a link to the EQ settings page from Github for each device. It defaults to the name of the file you imported. Click the import button (see image below), load the file you saved in step 5.Ĩ. Add a new top line with the pre-amp settings (found in the text of each headphone entry), here's the one from the BLON BL-03: "Preamp: -7.2 dB"ĥ. Copy the contents from the "ParametricEQ.txt" file into Notepad.Ĥ. Find your headphones in the EQ recommendation list on Github.ģ.

Install Equalizer APO and the Peace UI.Ģ. I've been testing for the last couple hours and I think Jaako is on to something.ġ. Jaakko Pasanen (don't know him) took the Harmon target curves for 2018 (Headphones) and 2019 (IEMs) and crinacle's measurements database and wrote some python to output EQ recommendations to apply for each device in crinacle's data. I stumbled upon a link to AutoEQ in another thread and searched to see if it had it's own dedicated thread (this will be the first).
