"Flat" EQs for the Earfun Free Pro

I wanted to share my 1st "flat" EQ for the Earfun Free Pro with my own ear canal resonance of 6300Hz (updated final settings):

These EQ profiles should basically give you a "neutral" kind of sound similar as it is perceived fro...

Trust your ear if you know your resonance...

Hey guys, I wanted to give you a short update of what currently is happening as I was quite active lately and didn't have that much time to do anything else, although I also managed to shoot a video inbetween, but will need to edit it first. The tuning progress so far is really promising. My theory of dedicated resonance-base...

Earfun Free Pro - 5900Hz tuning

I finally managed to create a tuning for everyone who hears the resonance lower than average at around  6000Hz and below just like me right now.

I think this is my best and most consistent one so far, I would even say this...

Earfun Free Pro 2 - what to expect

oluvsgadgets post Earfun Free Pro 2 - what to expect from patreon

Due to the announcement of the new Free Pro 2 there is lots of buzz going on right now in the comment section and in my messages. Therefore I wanted to give you my first thoughts on this model because I had the chance to play with it for some time now.

Don't trust your ear!

Hey guys, this is so important, furstrating and fascinating at the same time that I need to share this with you immediately, as it allows me to explain better how sound is perceived by individuals and that you shouldn't ever trust your own ear.

I am not sure where to start, I already wanted to deal with this topic long ...

Earfun Air Pro 2 - potential IEM candidate for further tuning

Yesterday I created a first EQ for the Earfun Air Pro 2 which is already available to my enthusiast level tiers. I am quite stunned by the results. I can hear lots of potential from this inear, as already now after my first quick adjustment I perceive it somehow more open and airy sounding than the Free Pro with my tuning. Th...

Teufel Boomster - new vs old

oluvsgadgets post Teufel Boomster - new vs old from patreon

I wanted to listen to both speakers more in detail to be able to judge better if I need to spend my money on the new version, therefore I recorded one after the other with several songs and would like to know your opinion to help me with my decision.

With some songs the new one definitely sounds better, with others it a...

Earfun Air Pro 2 - user EQ

oluvsgadgets post Earfun Air Pro 2 - user EQ from patreon

I tried creating a first quick EQ for the Air 2 Pro. After adjustment it sounds quite similar to the Free Pro, maybe even slightly nicer. but there is a catch: like someone had already noticed the EQ is saved within the device but it will always default to the factory preset if put back into the charging box. I haven't found ...

Updated Earfun Free Pro EQ for various resonance frequencies

I had to update my EQ for the latest 2 Earfun Free Pro units that I bought recently. I assume most current units should be more or less like that. Unfortunately there is always some sample variation involved, thus everyone would need to fine tune his particular unit on his own as they will all sound slightly different. I had ...

Diamondboxx L3 & Rubyoung R630 - first impressions

oluvsgadgets post Diamondboxx L3 & Rubyoung R630 - first impressions from patreon

This video is softer than my other videos as the bass of the Diamondboxx would have caused clipping at higher levels, therefore you need to increase volume more than usual.

I also noticed some popping from my microphones during some parts closer to the end. I hope it’s just an issue with the plug not inserted well and...

Hi all, we just came back from holidays and I want to finish the Earfun Free Pro unit with my latest tuning. I will do some measurements tonight to get sure that everything is OK and then prepare this unit to send away to the lucky winner.

Earfun Free Pro - future tunings for different ear canal resonances

First of all thanks to everyone who joined the enthusiast level and for all the feedback so far regarding my latest tuning.

Grell Audio TWS/1 vs Earfun Free Pro (tuned by me)

oluvsgadgets post Grell Audio TWS/1 vs Earfun Free Pro (tuned by me) from patreon

Keep in mind that the sound samples are meant to just give you a general idea about the sound differences of both units. They were still recorded with my MiniDSP and a compensation I created some years ago when I started reviewing inears. The compensation back then was just made by ear listening to an Inear and comparing that...

Sorry about my rushed video but I wanted to do this before leaving for holidays.

I am sorry about the unexpected issues with the Airoha app, I think the best workaround is to set your phone’s language to English to avoid issues with dots and commas.

Feel free if you have further questions and I am still open for...

Some new tracks for all us audiophile lovers, most of them as usual leaning more towards fusion and jazz simply because I find the highest quality recordings within those genres. It would seem as if modern pop wouldn’t even try to “sound good”.

Earfun Free Pro OE - better than ever

Lately I have been tweaking the tuning for the Earfun Free Pro a little bit more and I am convinced it sounds even better now.

Due to the time pressure by Earfun to finally sett...

This video became a bit long but I wanted to cover all aspects of this headphone before I need to either return it or maybe even selling it. 

Due to the heavy bass I had a hard time capturing audio for this headphone, therefore I had to record with a lower gain than usual thus  the final video is slightly soft...
