I recently stumbled upon a wonderful little plugin developed by Denise called Bass XL. It makes use of the phantom fundamental phenomenon to dramatically extend the perceived low frequency response of a speaker or headphone. Having used this plugin for the last week, it has become a permanent fixture within my SoundSource stack and I would highly recommend it. Expect it to make an appearance in the upcoming DRC video.
The Denise store is currently offering both Bass XL and Sub Generator (generates harmonics in the opposite direction) as a bundle for €23. Waves sells something similar, although be warned that their solution does not run under Equalizer APO.
Valve implemented a very similar algorithm for their Index headset speakers, which sparked my interest. Measuring the perceived result is quite challenging for me at the moment, so this has been very experimental and involved quite a lot of "adjustment to taste".
