Hi Robbo,Hi, ah, so you're using my Sample #2 EQ from this post: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...n-clark-audio-aeon-closed-x.26711/post-934592
Yeah, that 7020Hz filter is a big 6dB boost, and there could well be some unit to unit variation meaning that your stock headphone is hotter in this area than the one on which that EQ is based; however it could just be that your hearing is very sensitive in that region and you prefer less energy there. I'm in my 40's and can hear to 15kHz+ (tested on my headphones at normal volumes), not -1.5dB though! I could do some slow sine sweeps on my JBL speakers to guage it more accurately where my hearing ends.
I'm looking forward to you hopefully getting your headphones measured & seeing the results.
Sorry, I should have been specific. -1.5db is relative to the testing software's 0db. It is not based on the music or movie industry standard. Basically, my hearing only deviated -1.5db from 0db across the spectrum measured.
And yes, I know for a fact my hearing is very sensitive in the upper bandwidth. Being on the autistic spectrum predicts this quite well, as would years of wearing earplugs in places everyone else finds perfectly tolerable. In most respects, sensitive hearing is an utter pain in the a**, but there are times when it comes in handy. I spend most of my time in nature and away from noisy city areas for this, and other pretty obvious reasons.
