Debating whether to sell my HD800 and buy these.
I assume you mean buy 200 of them. THAT would high-end.

Welcome Aboard @Hamron. See link for EQ options: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ows-linux-macos-ios-ipados-and-android.18450/Im sorry but im very new to this world.. How can i add this eq to my android mobile?
I really want to buy it but i dont know how to put this eq
Thanks mateWelcome Aboard @Hamron. See link for EQ options: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ows-linux-macos-ios-ipados-and-android.18450/
inserting the wad inside the headphones attenuates the low frequencies that were previously excessive while removing the first layer of felt makes the highs more detailedApple USB-C dongle+ZX110! Super '9+9' combo!
So what does the cotton do?
I removed all the felt trying to get fat pillow off from the sound and guess what? It just DINDU NUFFINremoving the first layer of felt makes the highs
It's pretty epic what this forum is capable of doingI was destined to be an ASR enthusiast since I bought RP-TCM125E-W in 2015 and MDR-ZX110 in 2019. Later I didn't consider them to be IEMs or high quality headphones, until beginning to use them with EQ. Now those cheap overpriced or free earbuds destined for the trash can have a new life.

Holy preamp gain...It's pretty epic what this forum is capable of doing
For the ZX110, I highly recommend people try out these PEQ settings

I've messed around with several setups using AutoEQ, and I find this one to be the best by far. I usually prefer a flat bass response, but something about this tune is just perfect for these headphones.
Maybe my ears are junk, but the distortion subjectively isn't that bad. I'm sure measurements would tell a different story, but bass separation between things like metal bass drums and fast cello melodies is decent. Certainly better than my muddy earbuds, maybe better than my Status CB-1. I think the overall combo with the exceptionally clean and well balanced treble with this tune makes it perfect. All the other Harman Target tunes I've tinkered around with in AutoEQ which were limited to a narrower preamp range and 10 bands either sounded a bit too bright or a bit too dull. Amirm's EQ was certainly an improvement over stock, but you can only get so far with 5 bands. This 12 band one is just perfect, for me.Holy preamp gain...
Wonder what the distortion is like in the bass frequencies after a 20 dB adjustment!
Ah, the analog "purity" idea.I've never been able to EQ headphones to sound great. I like them as they are. I feel the designers "EQed" them the way they did on purpose, so they're suppose to sound as they do out of the package. For instance, if a portable headphone has a lot of bass, it's because it's meant to be listened to on the go, when bass is harder to hear outside in the surrounding environment. And some people want to hear treble boost for enhanced details, even if their hearing is good. It depends a lot on what music you're listening to, too.
And I don't think headphones sound the same once they're equalized to sound flat. There are many other differences besides the frequency response, such as the kind of headphone it is (in-ear, over-ear, open-back, on-ear, closed), questions about whether planar, electrostatic, dynamic, multi-driver and balanced armature can all really sound the same, and the various damping techniques, the designs of the drivers themselves, and the cups and pads. So many things have an effect on the sound. Yet people seem to think that if you just adjust the frequency response it all sounds the same between every headphone.
