Hi to all the cool guys.
I bought myself something cooler after the Defender Lester and Marshall Major.
I was enjoying both models (even though the first one might seem crazy)

SO
I got the Beyerdynamic MMX 100 32 Ohm
And oh shield, why do they sound so bland?
The first listen was completely
boring

And this is despite the fact that I love orchestras and all sorts of cool anime n game soundtracks, sometimes i play games like shooters or indie things.
I've come to the realization that I just need to customize them!
And i downloaded Equalizer APO and Peace..

As an amateur, I've tried to solve the problem and customize the equalizer with Google AI.
When I was setting them up, I often ended up with either a lot of bass, or a certain low hum, or the sound wasn't deep enough, and a bunch of other issues.
..And I've even managed to do something a couple of times, but I still feel like I can't handle them yet.

Any tips or ideas for customization?

I just want to be carried away to heaven by music.

Playing around with EQ I figured out the only thing I would really change about these headphones is the bass -to nobody's surprise-, and the extreme top end as well. It's the only thing I find just a tiny bit offsetting on that region from these headphones.

It's mostly irrelevant listening to music casually, especially when blasting these at loud volumes, but the effect is noticeable in my productions and mixing/sessions, nowadays all my projects roll off above 15kHz or are considerably attenuated +10kHz, and it doesn't sound like a problem in these headphones, and surprisingly neither they do in other playback devices much. It's almost like the rest of the spectrum is sufficiently balanced to make me think "hmmm, it's only missing some air, the rest is fine". I attached 3 screenshots from the spectrum analyzer of 3 different choruses in projects of mine so you have an idea of what I'm talking about.

Let me know your thoughts on these and whether or not you've had a similar experience, but especially from other musicians and audio engineers.

i’ve been working on a convolution filter using the b&k 5128’s hrtf, applied to iems tuned to the 5128-df target. the idea is to make regular stereo flac files sound more like they’re coming from speakers in a room. open, more natural, and less inside your head. 

the brir (binaural room impulse response) is made with the b&k 4128, which is what i have access to. i haven’t been able to find any room irs made with the 5128—if anyone knows of any or has some they’d be willing to share, i’d really appreciate it. 

i used ash toolset to create the filter, which let me customize the acoustic space and apply the right spatial cues. im running it in easyeffects convolver now at 48 khz, and so far it’s giving me a really convincing speaker-like image with good depth and staging. 

i’m sharing the .wav file because this version sounded the best after several tries and iterations. would love to hear your thoughts. does it feel more natural? more immersive? any feedback on how it affects clarity or tonality would be great.

Hi 👋 my name is Yekta I used momentum 4 hd58x accentum wireless samson semi open edition xs sundara and he400se in the past. I got my aventho 300 5 days ago this is my review in terms of sound quality and my general opinions about the aventho 300

When I putted on my head for first time my first impression was "why this sounds so good in tonality (tonality: average DB amount of bass mid and treble.) but sucks in resolution ( peaks cuts and dips in frequency) and than I fell in love with the Dolby Atmos sound. I used apple music Dolby Atmos mastered albums for listenings and the experience was great 😃. My next move was fixing the resolution errors, i used tone generator and hearing tests to find the errors and it was not easy but after 1 whole day of frustrating i got some promising results. Errors were in 120Hz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 6kHz. But remember that every ear and head is unique and the results may vary :)

I got my Beyerdynamic T1.3 two years ago, and even though I paid almost 700€ for them, as a brand fan, I hardly could push myself to listen to them. Applying the EQ to my DAC which supposed to correct the issue still very weird to me, and the clarity was never there, to be honest. So, I did NOT think the HiRes logo on Beyerdynamic web site is there for nothing, and started to flip-flop around, and came across the post on Reddit about people have same issues and feelings about something is being wrong.

So, as the post is archived now and I cannot reply there with pictures, I create this post here. Please enjoy. Basically, I don't know what made Beyerdynamic think that absorber disc should be placed in front of their flagship Tesla speakers, but you can have a look at the EQ in pinned post from Oratory1990 - no highs and big boost bell 150-800Hz, which didn't do a good result on sound.

I just removed the velour earpad (photo is without earpad already), and lifted the plastic ring. The absorbed disc is easily removable, not glued or anything to the driver, just kept there with the plastic ring, that holds the driver as well. The driver itself has a nylon protective mesh on it, so keeping it without that disc is completely safe, according to my feeling.

Having a chance - have a look as well what the Tesla drivers look like in an audiophile model of Beyer headphones (I believe these are most expensive from their line, together with the closed T5 model).
