I've been a photo retouching since 06 and it's been my career since 09, Ive recently got into the 'audiophile' thing for a humbling changing and I'm loving it. The similarities between EQ and photo grading are so strong. I feel reassured that I'm doing the right thing intuitively as you're doing the same things with the sliders that I'd recommend to a beginner in photoshop. Great video, thank you 😊

I've been using Poweramp for years and not too long ago they added a wonderful EQ feature where you can set an EQ per Bluetooth device. So now depending on what Bluetooth headset or speaker I have connected to my Android device I can have the EQ set up for that specific speaker, and it will automatically switch between which EQ depending on which device is connected at any given time.

Hi Brandon, absolutely professional and to the point✌🏽 I grew up with my father's (musicologist and producer) recording studio (SWT Südwest-Tonstudio). I produce myself (Ableton Live, Yamaha, Roland, Akai, MPC ONE, Neumann... a lot of stuff) and have had the SONY-M5 for 2 weeks now. WOW, really fantastic and the sound differences to Sennheiser, Bose... are minimal. I chose the SONY-M5 because they also have a cable input, so no latency in production. In fact, I've been using the excellent SONY MDR-84s from the '90s for years ; - ) But what primarily interests me: My daughter is 14 years old, listens to One Direction, Harry Styles, Beatles, as well as Funk & Hip-Hop... I just turned 60 but I still go to raves and clubs. No problem🕺🏼 To the point: Of course, my hearing ability can no longer be compared to that of a teenager. My last hearing test 4 months ago still confirmed that my hearing was above average. But I also noticed the typical, age-related frequency gaps. My question to you as a professional: How can I mix and master my productions correctly for a younger generation despite my age? A topic that probably concerns every musician and producer one day. I would be happy to exchange ideas... Cheers //Markus | tonfusion

What i like to do with equalizing in ears or headphones is use a tone generator. You can instantly find the flaws in the frequency response (most flaws are usually in the low and mid treble) The idea is to have a flat frequency response in your ear. Simply find a benchmark frequency (usually 1khz if its flat in the graph) and then try to make the rest of the frequencies the same volume to your ear. Usually bass and mids are fine, its really the part between 1khz - 10khz which is badly tuned in in ears and headphones.This does take a bit of training and you have to find the right volume (usually 45% to 50% volume). The great thing is that you can easily hear peaks and dips with a tone generator so you know what to correct.

Very nicely explained, thanks! I'm keeping your EQ in my settings. I use another which ups the bass one back to flat and the 2.5 on +5, 6.3 on +4 and 16 on +3. It's just a little meatier sounding but probably not as balanced as yours. Depends on the track doesn't it. I love how you can open the sound up and make everything work like this! I also love these headphones :)

Custom EQ’s vocal freq. range is clearer compared to flat EQ, and I noticed that the instrumentals overpower the vocals for both EQ’s (something that can only be changed in mastering process I think). The mid-range freqs are the most playable; adjusting the soundstage’s ceiling, sides, depth, and clarity. Essentially manipulating till simulating 3D space of hearing.

Thanks for this. I was able to tune my Xm4’s. They sound so much more balanced and separated. Before the artist was too blended into the music. Now they sound like they are singing along with and bit in front of the music. The flat profile was okay but not bright enough for details to have their own shine.

Curious to know your thoughts on using EQ in music apps vs headphone apps. Seems to make sense to use the EQ in my Surface Headphones app so that sound is more consistent across all apps, but I also use different headphones or ear buds, depending on the situation, and of course, there isn't an EQ app for AirPods Pro or Beats Fit Pro.

I ain't buying nothing till the sennheiser momentum 4 video comes out, I just can't decide until I have a definitive comparison between the two. For context, I'm lighting operator and that means I'm around loud sounds all the time but at the same time I spend my spare time learning music production and lighting production so sound quality really matters and it has to be Bluetooth ofcause added on top that I do a lot of gaming aswell. You can see how many factors are influenced by the choice I make. So please 🥺, don't wait for Christmas for the video to come out I NEEED IT NOW!

Did you know you can turn sony XM5 into a monitoring headphone with EQ ? The formula is this 400 HZ : 0 1 KHZ : + 3 2.5 KHZ : + 6 6.3 KHZ : + 3 16 KHZ : + 1 Clear Bass : _ 3 I'm doing the adjustment work and took the monitoring headphones and compared them with the XM5 and tried to match the XM5 headphones with it with EQ and the sound was completely equal to a monitoring headphone. This EQ formula may seem boring to some people , but this is the real sound of the studio , and it will be very pleasing to those who want to listen to the song with the same sound as it was recorded in the studio 😉

Here are my custom EQ settings for the Sony WH-1000XM4 400: 0 1k: +4 2.5k: +6 6.3k: +1 16k: 0 Clear Bass: -1 Boosted the mids because the XM4 has a bass heavy sound signature. This really brings out vocals and instruments forward and makes bass a little bit tighter but still full. Great video! I’ll definitely be sending my family and friends this when they ask me for EQ advice. Informative but fun and practical at the same time!

Hi all With inspiration from this great video, I have spent some time trying to make these headphones sound as close to natural as I can 'imho' and I think it's not bad, and works for most music genres for me. Settings are 400: -1 1k: +2 2.5k +4 6.3k +1 16k +2 With clear bass anywhere from -3 to -7, I find very pleasant for most listening, feel free to try it out and give me your thoughts. I know it's not very 'bass'y', and I don't like too much bass, but you can of course adjust clear bass to your liking, I think it works pretty well with more boost as well. Cheers all

I just couldn't find the right sound for my Technics EAH AZ80 until I watched your video. I was doing it all wrong. Turning up frequencies because I thought more is better was the wrong approach as I found out watching your video. Thanks a lot. Btw if someone is reading this comment using the same in ears. Don't use the EQ in the official app. I couldn't tune them properly because there are only 5 frequencies. Bass for example isn't really tunable when it comes to the deep bass frequencies. Put it in Flat and start from there. Use Wavelet instead, much better for Equalizing.

Kudos for the excellent video. This is my EQ for XM5. I feel like the upper midrange is already elevated so I turn down 2.5KHz rather than up. Also, I always keep one band as reference point (0) to keep my EQ "normalized". ClearBass: -2 | 400: -1 | 1K: 0 (ref) | 2.5K: -2 | 6.3K: +3 | 16K: +3 I just wanted to add, for those relatively new to EQ, that although boosting around 2.5KHz makes the lead vocal/instrument seem to "cut through" the mix, and adds attack to percussions and guitar, thus making the music sound more lively, it can result to long-term listening fatigue. Human hearing is super-sensitive to this frequency range, so take it easy on boosting this range. 😀Did I get that right?

I have tried some EQ settings in several headphones, Sony's frequencies choices is weird, but I can say that compared to other EQs and headphones tweeking something to the max, the sound doesn't drown on the frequency, for exampme bass, you tweek bass all the way up in JBL headphones, say goodbye to mids and highs, or put mids all the way up, say good bye to the rest, not Sony.

8:55 with Sony audio products especially, I Find One overall EQ I like that works for most things, and this often mean cutting Bass, but that’s easy to compensate for with Sony clear bass. I can leave the EQ Alone and boost the bass ‘appropriately’ for that listening session or song

I Really want to know what you think of the Sennheiser M4's, i have been seeing some mixed reviews, mainly about balancing problems with the cups. But overall they say they are a even better sounding headphone than the Sony XM5, what do you think?

These are my settings after like one week of messing around with the EQ and other settings, I'm a video and audio editor myself btw :) SBC or LDAC codec AAC is garbage, no frequencies over 15KHz, lots of artefacts, no detail. I really wish these had APTX so I could use them without artefacts on my Macbook Pro, since I cannot force SBC since MacOS 11. 400Hz: -4 (takes away the boomyness) 1K: -1 (less hollow) 2.5K: +2 (more presence) 6.3K: +3 (more treble) 16K: +9 (air) Clear Bass: -2 or -3 (makes bass more refined and less overpowering) Additionally on Android to get some extra sub bass: Bass tuner: Sustain Compressor Cutoff: 20Hz Post-gain: -2dB

For me, the default OFF sounds so much better. Whenever I try to EQ, it doesn't sound as punchy.
