    Headphones for recording piano

    He is going to update his database using the new B&K equipment. Edit: It surprises me a little bit this thread doesn't get any traction. I thought more people would find this interesting to discuss :)

    How to make a headphone test plalist

    Hello ! I recently came across the ASR's headphone test playlist in a thread about EQ. I went through a good part of it. I now have the following interrrogation: how was it crafted ? I can tell that one would choose music of his taste. I suppose there should be tracks with characteristics to...

    Hello. On Rtings reviews there are weighted harmonic distortion graphs. Could we use that data to somehow modify the audio signal to try to remove the harmonic distortion? If so, is there a program or maybe a Matlab/Python script that applies such correction to audio files? Would there be any...

    Are headphones frequency response measurements irrelevant?

    I've been obsessed with headphones measurements for years, specifically with frequency response measurements. But, I am yet to find measurements that match with what I actually hear.

    Distortion due to "brick wall"

    OK this isn't aimed at any one brand of speaker, amp, headphone, etc. I noticed when listening to a FLAC that's been boosted and compressed to death aka loudness wars, in headphones its still pretty clear and not really distorted but just loud, yet when I heard it through the same DAC...

    Hi, I feel a bit lost as I'm new to this space, and I'd really appreciate your help. I'm looking to get a setup that would power both a pair of active studio monitors and a pair of headphones. Both are entry-level (JBL 305P MKII and Sennheiser HD 600). At first, I had been considering buying...

    Hi all, does anyone of you have experience with both the lcd-x and lcd-24? I was in the market for an LCD-X, I have an HD800s which I EQ to the Harman target and its almost perfect, but I find the sub bass around 30 hz to be insufficient even after eq. I did a tone test with a sine wave at 30...
