IEM Targets: One Last Word
Let’s discuss IEM frequency response targets — probably for the last time on this blog. I’ve previously touched on this topic before. Many fellow headphone fans are putting a lot of effort into making sound objective and finding the ideal frequency response target. But I...
Softears RSV Measurements
As announced in the Softears introduction post, here are the measurements of the Softears RSV, aka Reference Sound 5. Softears RSV Frequency Response Spoiler alert: I think this is hands down the best-tuned IEM I have ever come across! You can thank me for finding...
Constructing an Audiophile IEM Reference Target
Discussing RAW frequency responses is hot right now. More and more audiophiles are starting to create their own measurement setups. So did I. But what worth are raw curves if you don’t know how to interpret them? Following my very general introduction, I want to...
Understanding RAW Frequency Graphs
First off, I should apologize because this post is long overdue. I have been sharing raw measured frequency graphs without ever explaining them. So I finally want to catch up and help with the basics and understanding how to read raw frequency graphs. Very important...
Measuring Custom IEMs
As you might have noticed, I too like to measure my IEMs and study their frequency response. Though it doesn’t tell the whole story, there is a lot of information to be found. I do think that my raw measurements of IEMs are of decent...
Frequency Response: Campfire Solaris
For measurements, I am using the same in-ear coupler as my friend on Headflux.de, the IEC 60318-4. I am posting raw measurements, which means I have not compensated them to any target. The curves are smoothed according to psychoacoustics in REW. Without much further ado,...
Flavor of the Month: Oriveti OH500
The Oriveti OH500 is my new flavor of the month. It is fresh and shakes up the absurd pricing for high-end gear. The OH500 are a set of very polished multi-driver hybrid IEMs that, IMO, tick all the right boxes. They are accompanied by the...
Frequency Response: 64 Audio U12t, U18t and Fourté Noir
For measurements, I am using the same in-ear coupler as my friend on Headflux.de, the IEC 60318-4. I am posting raw measurements, which means I have not compensated them to any target. The curves are smoothed according to psychoacoustics in REW. Please keep in mind...
