EQ'ed HD600 (to taste) is so fucking solid.

which model are u eq'ing them to? hd600 presets or something else?

If you have the HD600, you would use the HD600 preset. You always EQ using the presets for the model you have. The way it works, it's FROM the model to a specific target curve. So you need to start with the exact model you have.
Then there are three different options, Harman, Diffuse Field, or Oratory1990/Usound.

Basically USound is Harman without the bass shelf, so if you find Harman bass too much and just want flat bass, that's a good pick. It will still bring up the HD600 bass roll-off. I'm not a fan of diffuse field.

dude thank you so much that's exactly what i was looking for lately. decreasing the bass and going harman. so how do i use that usound? available on mobile?
blorg t1_jabtqk6 wrote
Harman will increase the bass quite substantially on the HD600.
So do you want Harman or decreasing the bass?
Neither of these EQs will decrease the bass, both will increase it, Harman above flat, Oratory1990/USound up to flat.
If you don't want the bass boost to be honest the HD600 is extremely close already and there is no need or reason to EQ it.
On PC I use Equalizer APO, for mobile I use a Qudelix 5K.
Android apps for EQ there is Wavelet which is free. You need to convert PEQ to use- you can do this using the equalizer tab on Crinacle's graph tool, and "download for Wavelet". Or Poweramp EQ you can enter PEQ values directly.

yeah im using poweramp peq. so i was already asking for where could i find the Usound eq values if possible?

Same as for the Harman Over-Ear target, just with the gain of the 105 Hz low-shelf filter set to 0 dB.
Or better yet: set it to whatever sounds best to you, anywhere from 0 to 15 dB is fine.

It's on the list of presets in my previous comment, it's the one for the HD600 labelled "Optimum HiFi Curve". This is the direct link:

Or as Oratory replied to you, you can just leave the shelf off the Harman target.

thanks.

Yep. I used the "Optimum HiFi Curve" target and the HD 6XX sounds less bass-heavy. However, I think I will run them on stock tunings for a few weeks to see what I feel about them after my ears get used to the sound.
