Just wanted to keep you updated what I am currently working on.
I am in the process of creating compensations for the new microphones I got recently.
I was not satisfied with my first results and I started to work on it completely from scratch. I want to eliminate my own HRTFs as good as possible from both m...

I got them directly from Earfun for a test, and it would be waste of time to make a video about them. They are not horrible especially for the asked price of €30. But the sound is nothing really special and they are not as Mini as the name would suggest. Compared to the Free Pro 2 the buds themselves are even thinner than t...

It's the first time I reached 1000 Patrons, so thanks to all for joining. Although it will drop again within some days, therefore also a big thanks to all those who continued to support me since the very beginning.
I finally got 3 different pairs of in-ear mics, which I am currently testing. I have closed ones as ...

To get a bit more variety I decided to mix my playlists better, as most playlists develop from music that I listen to at the given moment. Therefore this here is a more recent playlist I created during the last days, while the ones I created some months ago will be posted in between. Enjoy!

2022-01-26 12:41:01 +0000 UTC View PostAccording to the ear canal resonance statistics nearly 1/3 of people seem to be around 6000Hz. At the same time there are 12 so far who get values below 5200Hz, and I am not sure if my current 5100 setting can cover all those resonances or even low...
2022-01-25 10:52:07 +0000 UTC View PostMany seem to prefer some stronger lower bass emphasis compared to my neutral tuning which I wanted to make sound really "flat" with no real emphasis. But as everyone has his own bass preferences I wanted to show some ways how you can still model the bass to some degree without affecting the overall balance too much:

2022-01-20 13:32:59 +0000 UTC View PostAfter return from holidays I sat down to prepare tunings strictly following the 2019 Harman target. Tunings are available from 5800Hz to 7650Hz, as this range seems to cover the major part of ear canal resonances according to the current statistics here: 2022-01-19 12:05:11 +0000 UTC View Post

We had a great time in Bad Gastein and I wanted to share some impressions from our holidays. Unfortunately with this video the Insta360 failed to shoot with the correct mode therefore there is just some basic internal stabilisat...

This tuning is meant for those who get too little bass and perceive upper mids as too harsh with the "neutral" tuning. I call it "mainstream" tuning as it should offer a similar sound to "neutral" but with more bass and less upper mids. Below you can see a measurement of both:

This tuning replaces the "smooth" tuning, because they should be all smooth to some degree, but this one is supposed to sound neutral. This is how I perceive a Sennheiser HD600 more or less.
I tweaked the bass area a little bit compared to the "smooth tuning" and also extended the range of resonance frequencies to...
2022-01-03 08:56:56 +0000 UTC View PostThanks a lot to all of you for your continued support throughout this year and let me give you some idea about my plans of what to expect for next year.
I am currently on holidays and will be back on 2nd week of January. After my return I want to prepare a more detailed tutorial covering the EQ settings used for all “...
2021-12-31 15:30:48 +0000 UTC View PostLike suggested before, I would like this to become a base for sharing personal optimised user settings that are verified by others' ears unlike mine, where I can only verify the sound for my own ear canal resonance or the close by ones by applying either a deeper or more shallow insertion.
I will add more settings to th...

I took both speakers with me for holidays and wanted to demonstrate the advantage of the JBL over the Bose when taking them around.

I haven’t posted any speaker measurements lately but found this one that I never published before and wanted to do it now.
More measurements coming soon.

I finally finished all smooth tunings which can be found here. There are 10 different tunings within a range from 5450Hz to 7650Hz with about 1mm difference between each of them. Values above 7650 or lower than 5400 are hard to handle, therefore I ...

This time compared against the Helsinki also throwing in the JBL Flip 6. If the Bose can compete with the Vifa it cannot be bad, right?

First I wanted to hear how much improvement there is in sound compared to the classic "Soundlink Mini". I have shot another long video with the Soundlink Flex in the meantime, so please be patient.
