Ouch, once again EU gets shafted, doesn't help that Audeze is a US company too

Since there are no EQ profiles out yet for these, I used the measurements from Headphones (posted above) and tried to match it to the Harman target in REW. I'm sure better profiles will come out from the major players, but for now I like the result I get with this one. You can of course change whichever part you want:


Filter 1: ON LS 12dB Fc 90.00 Hz Gain 10.00 dB Filter 2: ON PK Fc 240.0 Hz Gain -1.00 dB Q 2.500 Filter 3: ON PK Fc 320.0 Hz Gain -1.00 dB Q 2.000 Filter 4: ON PK Fc 450.0 Hz Gain 1.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 5: ON PK Fc 700.0 Hz Gain -1.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 7: ON PK Fc 2000 Hz Gain 2.00 dB Q 2.500 Filter 8: ON PK Fc 3000 Hz Gain -1.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 9: ON PK Fc 3500 Hz Gain -2.50 dB Q 3.000 Filter 10: ON PK Fc 4300 Hz Gain 5.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 11: ON PK Fc 5000 Hz Gain -1.50 dB Q 4.000 Filter 12: ON HS Fc 6000 Hz Gain 2.00 dB Filter 13: ON PK Fc 11500 Hz Gain 3.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 14: ON PK Fc 900.0 Hz Gain 1.00 dB Q 5.000 Filter 15: ON PK Fc 1225 Hz Gain -1.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 16: ON PK Fc 2300 Hz Gain 1.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 17: ON PK Fc 4200 Hz Gain 1.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 18: ON PK Fc 6000 Hz Gain 1.00 dB Q 3.000

I have adjusted these settings since I posted them a while back. These are the new settings, I think they are a bit more refined than the old ones:

Filter 2: ON LS Fc 80.00 Hz Gain 7 dB Q 2.000 Filter 7: ON PK Fc 300.0 Hz Gain -0.30 dB Q 2.000 Filter 8: ON PK Fc 445.0 Hz Gain 1.50 dB Q 4.000 Filter 9: ON PK Fc 510.0 Hz Gain 0.50 dB Q 2.000 Filter 10: ON PK Fc 900.0 Hz Gain 1.50 dB Q 4.000 Filter 11: ON PK Fc 2000 Hz Gain 3.00 dB Q 2.000 Filter 12: ON PK Fc 2400 Hz Gain 0.70 dB Q 3.000 Filter 13: ON PK Fc 3000 Hz Gain -2.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 14: ON PK Fc 3450 Hz Gain -2.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 15: ON HS Fc 4000 Hz Gain 2.70 dB Filter 16: ON PK Fc 4000 Hz Gain 0.50 dB Q 2.000 Filter 17: ON PK Fc 4300 Hz Gain 5.00 dB Q 3.000 Filter 18: ON PK Fc 5000 Hz Gain -2.00 dB Q 3.000

Thank you, Reza!
7 dB low boost is very much!
I am using 6 dB boost on my Verum Audio.
Did you had a chance to compare MM-500 vs Verum?

And I am sitting now and listening MM-500 )))

Well, to my taste it is very much like HD-600/650 + extended bass + a little bit annoying high mids in rock/metal tracks.
If you are on RME UFX II with poort 3 band EQ, then you can use these settings to make it closer to the Harman curve.
Gain 5 Q 0.7 Freq 100Hz
Gain -3.5 Q 0.7 Freq 3000Hz
Gain 3 Q 0.7 Freq 4000Hz
