What's going on?

Just wanted to keep you updated what I am currently working on.I am in the process of creating compensations for the new microphones I got recently.I was not satisfied with my first results and I started to work on it completely from scratch. I want to eliminate my own HRTFs as good as possible from...

Congrats to Michael, and good luck to the fastest commenter....PS: The glasses I am wearing are the FAUNA glasses which I will review soon: https://wearfauna.com/de/?v=fa868488740a

Earfun Free Mini - quick review

I got them directly from Earfun for a test, and it would be waste of time to make a video about them. They are not horrible especially for the asked price of €30. But the sound is nothing really special and they are not as Mini as the name would suggest. Compared to the Free Pro 2 the buds themsel...

Yay! new record...

It's the first time I reached 1000 Patrons, so thanks to all for joining. Although it will drop again within some days, therefore also a big thanks to all those who continued to support me since the very beginning.I finally got 3 different pairs of in-ear mics, which I am currently testing. I ha...

Oluv’s audiophile collection #23

To get a bit more variety I decided to mix my playlists better, as most playlists develop from music that I listen to at the given moment. Therefore this here is a more recent playlist I created during the last days, while the ones I created some months ago will be posted in between. Enjoy!https://m...

Why frequency response is the most important aspect...

Revealing the blind listening test from here.All 5 headphones raw unequalized: FLAC 96/24 - https://cutt.ly/GI6huhvEqualized to the same frequency response: FLAC 96/24 - https://cutt.ly/2YNcfSA

Custom tuning service

According to the ear canal resonance statistics nearly 1/3 of people seem to be around 6000Hz. At the same time there are 12 so far who get values below 5200Hz, and I am not sure if my current 5100 setting can cover all those resonances or even lower than that.As a test I created additional tunings ...

Gimme bass...

Many seem to prefer some stronger lower bass emphasis compared to my neutral tuning which I wanted to make sound really "flat" with no real emphasis. But as everyone has his own bass preferences I wanted to show some ways how you can still model the bass to some degree without affecting the ...

Which tuning do you like most?

I need to ask this as I want some feedback to get an idea about how the different tunings I created over time are perceived by others. Lately I sent a unit to Andrew from Resolve reviews created an exact tuning for his particular resonance frequency and his feedback was quite reserved, although I kn...

Earfun Free Pro 2 - "Harman 2019" tuning

After return from holidays I sat down to prepare tunings strictly following the 2019 Harman target. Tunings are available from 5800Hz to 7650Hz, as this range seems to cover the major part of ear canal resonances according to the current statistics here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/60519720I would...

Back from holidays

I'm back haha...!We had a great time in Bad Gastein and I wanted to share some impressions from our holidays. Unfortunately with this video the Insta360 failed to shoot with the correct mode therefore there is just some basic internal stabilisation applied which is far worse than what the pro-mo...

Earfun Free Pro 2 - "mainstream" tuning

This tuning is meant for those who get too little bass and perceive upper mids as too harsh with the "neutral" tuning. I call it "mainstream" tuning as it should offer a similar sound to "neutral" but with more bass and less upper mids. Below you can see a measurement of both...

Earfun Free Pro 2 - "neutral" tuning

This tuning replaces the "smooth" tuning, because they should be all smooth to some degree, but this one is supposed to sound neutral. This is how I perceive a Sennheiser HD600 more or less.I tweaked the bass area a little bit compared to the "smooth tuning" and also extended the ran...

Happy new 2022

Thanks a lot to all of you for your continued support throughout this year and let me give you some idea about my plans of what to expect for next year.I am currently on holidays and will be back on 2nd week of January. After my return I want to prepare a more detailed tutorial covering the EQ setti...

Earfun Free Pro 2 - user settings

Like suggested before, I would like this to become a base for sharing personal optimised user settings that are verified by others' ears unlike mine, where I can only verify the sound for my own ear canal resonance or the close by ones by applying either a deeper or more shallow insertion.I will...

Bose Soundlink Flex & JBL Flip 6 taken out for a walk

I took both speakers with me for holidays and wanted to demonstrate the advantage of the JBL over the Bose when taking them around.

Teufel Rockster Cross - frequency response measurements

I haven’t posted any speaker measurements lately but found this one that I never published before and wanted to do it now.More measurements coming soon.

What's my/your ear canal resonance?

As we are nearly 1000 this month (although many will leave again after tomorrow) I wanted to make a final poll again asking you about your ear canal resonance frequency similar to the one I did before: https://www.patreon.com/posts/59465634But this time I extented the range even more and would kindl...

Bose Soundlink Flex, Audio Pro P5 and Minirig 3 compared

This will be my last video for this year as I am currently visiting my parents and will return home after holidays.

Earfun Free Pro 2 - all "smooth tunings" finished

I finally finished all smooth tunings which can be found here. There are 10 different tunings within a range from 5450Hz to 7650Hz with about 1mm difference between each of them. Values above 7650 or lower than 5400 are hard to handle, therefore I hope I covered all necessary values. Please let me k...

Bose Soundlink Flex - 2nd impression

This time compared against the Helsinki also throwing in the JBL Flip 6. If the Bose can compete with the Vifa it cannot be bad, right?

Bose Soundlink Flex - first impressions

First I wanted to hear how much improvement there is in sound compared to the classic "Soundlink Mini". I have shot another long video with the Soundlink Flex in the meantime, so please be patient.

Tribit MaxSound Plus upgraded version - stereo pairing with an old version

Thanks to Roberto for discovering this feature!(Don’t miss the short sneak peek of the new Bose Soundlink Flex at the end)

Startguide how to adjust the internal Earfun Free Pro/2 EQ

Welcome! I prepared a quick guide and link collection for all newcomers how to get access to the internal EQ of the Earfun Free Pro and Free Pro 2 (the Earfun Air Pro 2 will also work, but it will always default to the factory sound after power down).You need the AirReps156X control app available on...

Tribit XSound Mega - final version
