Sennheiser HD600 - neutral EQ - flat bass

I finally need some rest, because I haven’t really slept a lot the last days. Therefore I wanted to post this before taking some days off together with my family for fall break and make my “neutral EQ” for the HD600 finally public which will allow for listening to my binaural recordings with the correct sound. All my up...

What’s next?

I am currently listening with my new EQ for the Sennheiser HD600 together with the Qudelix 5K, which I hadn’t used for quite a while, but after I managed to reduce the filter amount to 10 thanks to Mika one of my Patrons, while still keeping the original timbre to some degree, this made the EQ very versatile and usable with...

HD600 - front neutral EQ - WIP

oluvsgadgets post HD600 - front neutral EQ - WIP from patreon

Ok here it is: my very first version of the new neutral EQ for the HD600 which was derived from my recent experiments trying to render wind noises as faithfully as possible. With this EQ you should basically hear exac...

Neutral all around!

Sorry guys but I was still busy as crazy the last days simply trying to understand how to achieve a perfectly neutral frequency response for a headphone towards my ear but realised that there may be more solutions to this problem which gave me sleepless nights as I have been continuously trying to improve and approximate this...

How does „neutral“ sound like?

oluvsgadgets post How does „neutral“ sound like? from patreon

I bet nobody has really heard a “neutral” sound out of a headphone yet. Despite all claims: this headphone is the most neutral one, or that one, from my own experience no headphone or IEM I have heard so far was really close to offer a fully neutral sound reproduction. I must confess that I had also relied too much on exi...

JBL Partybox Encore vs Partybox 100

oluvsgadgets post JBL Partybox Encore vs Partybox 100 from patreon

I was surprised how well the small Encore could keep up with the larger one up to maximum volume, but battery life is really bad which is the main reason I will return the Encore again, apart from that definitely one of the best and most impressive partyboxes from JBL so far.

Tribit Stormbox Blast vs JBL Partybox Encore

oluvsgadgets post Tribit Stormbox Blast vs JBL Partybox Encore from patreon

After having finished the Enciore/Boombox 3 video I immediately shot this video where the Encore battery died. It was not fully charged but LEDs indicated like 75%. Having played for maybe 40 minutes altogether the battery performance of the Encore seems pretty weak. I haven’t charged the Tribit since my last videos against...

Huawei Sound Joy vs Earfun UBOOM L

oluvsgadgets post Huawei Sound Joy vs Earfun UBOOM L from patreon

I was actually shocked how horrible these “Devialet drivers” performed. Although allegedly equipped with some tweeter the speaker suffers from heavy intermodulation and severe distortion issues already at low levels. And people are talking about “marketing fail” by Earfun. Now this is what I would call marketing fraud...

JBL Partybox Encore vs JBL Boombox 3

oluvsgadgets post JBL Partybox Encore vs JBL Boombox 3 from patreon

Unfortunately the camera got the last minutes of the video corrupted, maybe due to overheating, therefore at the very end there will be only a black image, sorry for this.

IMO the Encore is a better package for some outdoor party than the Boombox 3, with better and deeper and a more kicking bass while being lighter and ...

Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus - new vs old/035 vs 036

oluvsgadgets post Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus - new vs old/035 vs 036 from patreon

Anker fixed the overheating issues which plagued the Motion Boom Plus with some new model, at the same time they fixed the weird treble response with the latest firmware 0.36. Definitely a much better deal than a JBL Xtreme 3 for example, but still not usable for low levels due to disappearing bass etc.
