headphones equalization

Skip to the bolded text if you don’t care about the story. Before I learned about audio science, I got the AirPod Max and thought that they were the pinnacle of sound quality (actually there was a recent study that showed they had preference very close to Harman 2018). When I learned some...

Hi! For contextualization, Waves NX plugins now use the Harman target as the standard target curve to make headphones "flat". It makes little sense, here's why: The Harman target is supposed to emulate how flat speakers sound in a well treated room. So, by applying this equalization to...

Hi. I recently tried out Immerse Virtual Studio and they ask you to take a photo of your ear to generate an HRTF using AI processing. The results were pretty amazing! It really does sound like I'm in that room. But I was wondering if there's an option to do this just for making the headphones'...
