nikongod Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Is the JBL/Harmon "ideal" frequency response published anywhere? Perhaps more importantly, do they publish what EQ settings were used for their various test headphones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyll Hertsens Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) They're getting close---if you read his papers you can see where they're going in FR. Here's my post about his work. IIRC remember in one of the papers they showed the compensation curves of some of the cans in the study. Damned good work.

justin Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I read that and I thought it was funny that the Chinese liked the sound of Beats better than Americans and Europeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindingThud Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Dang, this is profound....even untrained listeners prefer the sound of HD800 to beats.... Seems they prefer the HD to the LCD as well. Give a person bass and treble knobs and they move them around. Consensus is that headphones should sound like speakers in a reference listening room. Now we have a study to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefQon Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Consensus is that headphones should sound like speakers in a reference listening room. Now we have a study to back it up. Two entirely different things which are not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 i forget what the name of the Harman or JBL thing was in the slides...the thing that was winning Best Headphone Evar for every test, over the HD800 and Audeze. Was it an actual Harman headphone or just some kind of DSP applied to a HD800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin ear Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 so all we have to do is eq our headphones to our personal taste - brilliant! interesting findings tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Do Listeners Agree on What Makes a Headphone Sound Good? by Dusty Chalk No. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claritas Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Even if most test subjects agree about what sounds good today, it's a sophisticated poll which isn't the same as the truth. Besides the method, I'll ask sincerely whether we want nearly all headphones to be one flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp11801 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I like my headphones the flavor of unicorns and dead leprechauns, oh and Dusty you are correct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I like how the leprechauns are dead but the unicorns are in an unknown (unknowable?) state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I like how the leprechauns are dead but the unicorns are in an unknown (unknowable?) state. Quantum Unicorns? Heisenberg Unicorns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I was thinking more in a fantastical sense, but...okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wink Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 If you have a bottom garden, check for leprechauns, otherwise it's Ireland. For unicorns the problem becomes more problematical. Drop bears down here in the antipodes can be a problem for the unwary and can be mistaken for leprechauns. The larger drop bears even sometimes are taken for proof of the existence of yowies and bunyips. Sad, but not entirely true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
