In such cases you’re better off using the free EQ apps built into phones and computers to tweak the sound to your taste. I’ve encountered at least one company that attempted to EQ headphones to a flat curve, as if they were speakers, and others that boost the treble too much or add soundstage virtualization that sounds highly unnatural. The problem is, how do the people who create the software determine what equalization response curve to shoot for? Solid research into what constitutes the best response curve for headphones has begun to emerge, but the more research papers you read, the more you realize that a lot of the people making audio products don’t read many audio research papers. One of those is Sonarworks’ True-Fi ($79 USD), an app for Windows or Apple OS that I first encountered at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show.Īpps like these are great in concept. When you consider these differences, and that most headphones are now connected to smartphones and computers, it’s not surprising that many apps have emerged to equalize ’phones for better sound. Some sound harsh and thin, others dull and bloated, and many sound good but have a few annoying quirks.
