I don't think it says much about the Harman curve at all.Well based on the numbers in this poll so far, I think it's fair to say the "harman preference curve" is about as valuable as anyone elses curve.
I think it says that the Harman preference curve is just a 'preference' or an average . Certainly in the bass area there is a wide range of preferences as displayed here. Personally I prefer less bass but the rest of the curve is fine to my taste.I don't think it says much about the Harman curve at all.

Well, it says that 70% finds the target curve not perfect. Even if it reflects an average, the "skirts" of this distribution are quite wide.I was referring to the poll results being unreliable.
But there is no way to remove the ones who answered "I don't like the Harman curve because I EQ'd my headphones and didn't like the result". Some of the auto-EQ's to Harman are really bad and can bias the results.Well, it says that 70% finds the target curve not perfect.

Whise guy try removing Harman influence including hire. It's a geriatric scale as I stated before.But there is no way to remove the ones who answered "I don't like the Harman curve because I EQ'd my headphones and didn't like the result". Some of the auto-EQ's to Harman are really bad and can bias the results. It won't sound the same as a headphone with a native curve close to Harman.
By that do you mean you think it's too bright? I agree it seems a bit much for me but that may change as my ears do. But overall I have to say that I think it's pretty close on overall balance with some small tweaks for preference. Which is exactly what the Harman headphone curve is - an average of the results of their experiments.Whise guy try removing Harman influence including hire. It's a geriatric scale as I stated before.
Agreed. A casual poll on a forum does nothing to negate the findings from the Harman research.I was referring to the poll results being unreliable.
I mean it's suitable for seniors with partial hearing loss regarding bass and when you shave that off you will like to shave and uper high mids - highs hump (just a bit). At least I do. Harman influence grew up so much (in the west at least) that you have to be brave this day's to say anything against it. Best regards.
I think @ZolaIII is trying to say that people prefer the Harman target because they grew up with Harman-influenced equipment, so it's already a familiar sound. Basically, the chicken and the egg problem.That made zero sense.
That's because the premise is false.I think @ZolaIII is trying to say that people prefer the Harman target because they grew up with Harman-influenced equipment, so it's already a familiar sound. Basically, the chicken and the egg problem.
Somewhere between about right to not enough. Really depends on the headphones, IMO.Many think the Harman's target curve for headphones has too much bass. What is your experience?
Except that's not what the Harman curve is. It's not based on colorations from historical equipment. It's based on science and experimentation where they tried different target variations and the curve that we now think of as the Harman curve is the one that was preferred by the majority of listeners.I think @ZolaIII is trying to say that people prefer the Harman target because they grew up with Harman-influenced equipment, so it's already a familiar sound.

Your bias is showing.And so is my clame. Based on the research about hearing loss they presented hire on ASR and still much more transport than most of their "scientific research".
"Claim", not "clame", "here", not "hire".And so is my clame. Based on the research about hearing loss they presented hire on ASR and still much more transport than most of their "scientific research".
