Philips Fidelio X2HR Review (headphone)

I'll have to try them too and listen to the differences.

When converting his PDF to the default .txt format, don't forget to type in LSC for low-shelf filters and HSC for high-shelf filters.

LS and HS without the C have a different response and won't match his preset.

Thanks! I always pay attention to those low shelf and high shelf bands, because these are the ones that I have to tweak to my taste most of the time. And I noticed that AutoEQ PEQs combines LSC, HSC and 4 other most significant filters in the first rows and leaves the other low gain, high Q bands (to correct artifacts) at the end.

As I read in RME's headphone linearization trainings, they recommend completely ignoring all those low gain, high Q filters as they do more harm than good.

Okay, I tried the Oratory PEQs and with similar bass and treble shelf settings, they sound pretty much the same to me with the AutoEQ settings.

My ideal EQs for these Philips headphones, which I really compare to my old friend HD650. Still in the process of listening

Thanks Johny, pls report whatever the outcome is.
