autoeq.app Is a Web Application for Equalizing Headphones the Easy Way

[Zensō]

Yes. That's what I edited It's still what I like not what it should be flat. So should I just leave it as it is and don't care about my preferences in that case?

Do you have flat, EQ’d monitors in a reasonably treated room? If so, I would suggest starting with Harman and adjusting to match your monitors by ear.

Without monitors as a reference, you’re sort of flying blind. In that case I’d probably just use Sonarworks as I find their presets generally more closely match my monitors across a variety of different headphones.

There will be many diverging opinions on the above…

Yes. That's what I edited It's still what I like not what it should be flat. So should I just leave it as it is and don't care about my preferences in that case? I mean use ex. factory Harman OE 2018 in autoeq and don't tweak it? Btw. do you have Sonarworks target in .csv? I asked Sonarworks guys many times about their target but they just said "flat" (in short).

Sonarworks won’t provide their proprietary curve. It’s very similar to Harman but with a lower bass shelf. Harman=blue, Sonarworks=gray.

Yes. I have. I'll try to match them then and use that graph to make Sonarworks target in autoeq too. We'll see which approach will be better. Thanks!

I don't know if this was what you meant, but then you can compare the equalizations from both Harman target and Sonarworks, to see what the differences are. It's not like it's going to make a difference, but it's cool from a experimental point of view

Yes. That was what I meant. I just try all your recommendations and make sonarworks target to match it with autoeq. Or maybe you have Sonarworks target in .csv file to use it? Thanks.

Actually, I do have the CSV file. I extracted it from Side Salad's squig.link page. Note that using GRAS measurements with the Sonarworks target curve isn't going to work, you need the raw measurements done with their own gear, because every rig have their own impact in frequency response.

Since I can't attach CSV files here, I'll just paste the values:

Thank you. So oratory1990 measurements won't work with that Sonarworks target right?

 

[Volutrik]

Unfortunately, yes. In this video at 02:06 you can get a pretty good explanation to why that is. It's pretty interesting!

That's why I told you earlier on to use measurements done with the B&K 5128 rig, because they're the most advanced nowadays (they include the ear cannal's changes in frequency response, where others don't). But acbarn actually made a very good point in stating that the 5128 Diffuse Field target is still pretty much being developed, so you're better off either using the Harman target or Sonarworks. You can still try the 5128 Diffuse Field EQ profiles, of course! You can find them here: https://forum.headphones.com/t/b-k-5128-target-community-input-thread/20729

Correct.

If your primary use case is mixing/mastering to a perceptually flat target, I’d suggest purchasing Sonarworks and calling it a day. They’ve done a ton of research on this specific use case and their product makes it dead simple. It takes all of the guess work out of the process. It’s particularly useful if you’re quickly switching between headphones and monitors while mixing.

Hello, jb!

Actually, the Harman target is supposed to "mimic" the frequency response of flat speakers in a well treated room. It doesn't include the crossfeed aspect of speakers nor any of this, just the frequency response aspect. The preference part is kind of the icing on the cake, where listeners further "sculpt" the sound of the target curve. The treble preference didn't vary much from the original target, the main differences were in the bass region (105Hz and below, a low shelf).

Now, don't get me wrong, the Harman target isn't the definitive target curve, mainly because the GRAS rig doesn't include the ear cannal's impact on frequency response.
For contextualization on the above mentioned, every measuring rig have their own impact on the final measured frequency response. The GRAS rig was the one used to make the original Harman target, therefore you want to use measurements done with that rig to get results that properly translate with the target. The Oratory1990 measurements are the most well known and are mainly the ones available in Autoeq.

Currently, there is a new rig available made by Bruel & Kjaer called "5128" that includes the ear cannal's influence in sound. There isn't a equivalent to the Harman target for that rig yet, but there is an attempt that tries to mimic the sound of it. If you have headphones that were measured with that rig, I'd suggest you to try the EQ profiles. It's probably the best approximation to a flat sound nowadays, at least that I know of.
Here's a video that explains that attempt:

I'm not convinced that -10db tilt diffuse field is the closest to what Harman would sound like on 5128. It sounds bass light in comparison.

Has anyone calculated the slope of the 2018 oe curve and the slope of the 2019 iem curve?

Actually, the 5128 Diffuse Field target is not following the slope from the Harman headphone target itself, but rather the slope found in the speakers research (the one that later on led to the headphones research), where they came to the conclusion that flat measuring speakers in a free field environment (an anechoic chamber) have a downwards slope when they're inserted in a room, thus being the preferred sound by trained and untrained listeners. This happens in untreated and treated rooms, by the way. The end result is something that resembles the Harman headphone target, but compatible with the 5128 rig.

You can watch this video to get more in depth about why this downwards slope happens:

 

[alumnicesar]

what exactly is autoeq in ear? Just his preferred change of Harman's in-ear?

 

[Volutrik]

what exactly is autoeq in ear? Just his preferred change of Harman's in-ear?

Yes. People generally find the original Harman In-Ear target too shouty, like it has too much 3kHz. AutoEq In-Ear is just an adaptation of that

 

[jtk9412]

Thank you for all the effort.

I am trying to make an EQ myself for my in-ear headphones. However, no matter what I tried, they all sounded worse than before. I believe I do something wrong or at least miss something. Could you please enlighten me about it? I looked for guides however there are not much.

This is what I do:

1- Selecting my headphones.
2- Clicking "Show advanced" on Profiles section.
3- Selecting EqualizerAPO ParametricEq, works the best for my case.

I do nothing extra. Sometimes I select different targets, but they all make things worse.

Can you add apple's eq presets to the equalizer apps section?: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...le-music-eq-presets-what-are-they-doing.25588

Have it show which preset gives the lowest avg error from 20hz-10k? Maybe 40hz-8k is better? Perhaps even a "show more" which shows all of them.

Presets aren't really useful for equalizing headphones, or anything else IMO for that matter.

 

[BeerBear]

Have you considered adding a 'Bandwidth' option as an alternative to 'Q'? Maybe inside the existing 'Custom Parametric Eq' or maybe in a separate app entry.
There are some EQs out there that use BW exclusively, for example ReaEQ or the Voxengo plugins.

Some of the options actually show bandwidth, like AUNBandEq. Could be an option to switch in the Custom Parametric Eq but I doubt I'll get around implementing it...

 

[alumnicesar]

Sure but for those that are on Apple Music on their iPhones, that's the only thing they can use. And that's a TON of people. Literally A LOT. That can't be understated.

Some headphones/iems would benefit from something other than the "flat" preset (which is the same as no eq)
