So what are we looking at here, OP?

If this study is correct, listening to this will make me depressed in just a few seconds.

I don't think it's "bass." It's just bass. Pad material and shape can have a major effect on FR.

I love how this chick looks like she just shit herself and happens to be wearing headphones lmao.

Dialing Target for Adult Diapers.

Use a tone generator to figure out the exact frequency at which this occurs for you (I'm sure you know this). Start with a Q value of 5 and do sweeps across that region. If the adjacent frequencies sound too quiet relative to the resonant peak then try a higher Q value. If they are too loud then try a lower Q value. Do the best you can to smooth it out.

For IEMs I like my target but it actually depends on listening level. That is good for a moderate listening level but the louder I go the flatter I like it. So at louder listening levels I may only like 10Hz to peak at no more than +10dB or +5dB relative to 1KHz and I may only like 3KHz to peak at no more than +3dB or +0dB relative to 1KHz. Its all relative. Loudness compensation linked to volume control helps. The RME ADI-2 series and some receivers have this loudness control feature. This follows the equal-loudness contours of human hearing.

So is taking Prozac.

I prefer it as 'one man party' rather than depress section.

I have about 70k minutes on Spotify wrapped, and only in the top 5%. I listen a good amount, but not as much as I’d like. and that’s just Spotify. There’s some songs on YT and cd rips I heavily enjoy.

You mean others are allowed to spend so much money on stupid things while Im struggling to buy a decent gear? Absurd!

Found mine on eBay. There's someone there selling them for $20. Got them in like three days (US) and it took less than five minutes. Super quick and worth every penny. Really gives them a more open sound.

Search for "Hifiman Grill Mod Replacement - High End CNC Aerospace Stainless steel - Pair" and you'll find them. The quality is stock level good. Comes in multiple finish colors too.

This is false because there's no such thing as "for too many hours" and "depression" when listening to Vitas' 7th element.

I only listen to hi-fi.

…. But I’m dancing to it too!

She's depressed the price of Apple Music went up.

Audeze lcd-4 is what I want for Christmas.

Can be =/= is. Carry on.

If that rising tone suddenly gets louder and then softer again, that's a peak. In general, it's easier to hear peaks than troughs. Tuning by ear isn't going to give you extreme accuracy (and you shouldn't try to EQ everything to the same level anyways), but it can help identify big peaks or valleys in the response.

Very nice. Where did you get them?

I have the black version. You can seriously kill someone with the thing.

Don't some of you solely listen to headphone reviews on Youtube?

I still don’t understand how to hear peaks in a sine sweep. It just sounds like a rising tone to me.

Personally, as both a bass head and someone who listens to classical about 90% of the time, I don't think flat is the way to go. I want a nice meaty bass shelf to represent the contrabass, percussion, and cellos - and some nice zing in the upper range to represent the high strings and woodwinds. So basically mildly V-shaped. Most classical music is heavily mastered towards mids anyway, so you can sacrifice a bit there in order to get a truly enveloping "concert hall" sound. IMHO, bass is sorely underrepresented and underrated in classical recordings and playback.

aeon, does everything well and good, yet bulky and annoying to deal with

What about people who listen to the same song three times in a row on three different pairs of headphones? Asking for a friend.
