  2. i highly recommend https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq for headsets - though i have not added any of these to pipewire as it seems others have done [i still prefer foobar2000 with APO + Peace + AutoEq]

  4. Superlux HD681 Evo (offbrand AKG) + cheap USB DAC (FiiO E10K or so) + Equalizer APO ( https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results ) = basically as good as it gets, without breaking the bank.

  5. …boost up your preferred range. Alternatively you can go with a pair that has a measured profile ( https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq ), which you can use to normalizes the frequency response and tweak it after. For example I went with…

  9. I use AutoEQ ( https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq ) for my headphones. It works by "parsing frequency response measurements and producing equalization settings which correct the headphone to a neutral sound". They also have a huge…

  11. Yes, but no, but yes. AutoEq ( https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/ ) does something like this so... yes? But targets various HRTF curves which aren't neutral or flat, and they usually aim for a Harman target of sorts, so no... But…

  12. Also check https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects and https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq . I wish https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Community-Presets had more presets.

  13. To clarify things, PipeWire is an audio daemon, completely unaffiliated with https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq which is a set of headphone impulse responses. It just so happens that the recommended way to apply these impulse…

  14. Try to set up https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq impulse responses for headphones, and you _will_ inevitably hang your X. Daemon isn't terribly useful on its own if you can't set it up to do what you need. So anyone considering…
