There has been lots of discussion about different versions of the same JBL speakers claiming this one was better than the other one. I was also asked which version my Flip 6 was and to check how much my GG version really differs from a TL version I wanted to hear it by myself and share my finding...

Just for those who already want to fool around with some sound variants now I wanted to quickly post some other tuning approaches for different tastes, these are optimised for my own resonance of 6100Hz of course.
My original intent was to create a kind of neutral studio sound similar...

I had some people reporting secondary peaks they could detect which I definitely didn't get so far, but I wanted to try out what would happen if I used other tips for the Free Pro 2 (this should also apply to the Free Pro of course). The great thing with the Free Pro 2 is that you basically have ...

2021-12-09 00:57:58 +0000 UTC View PostI must confess I am pretty exicted and I think you should be as well, at least those who are looking forward to the Free Pro 2 adjustments. I think I managed to finalise my basic tuning now with big help of Douwe who always gave me his feedback on any setting I changed. It was actually very enlig...
2021-12-07 18:24:17 +0000 UTC View PostI already sent Douwe my current settings to get some feedback and wanted to ask if others would like to try them out as well although this would only make sense for those who have a resonance frequency close to mine thus within a range of lets say 5900-6300 maybe 6400 could also work but the fath...
2021-12-05 23:54:37 +0000 UTC View PostBasically this is of course possible, in my case it worked and may be needed for those who have assymetrical ear canals, I perceive my resonance at the same frequency for both ears, but some report values that differ, in this case you may want to apply different EQs to both units, another reason ...

I definitely won't make friends with all my claims in that video, allegedly people are already talking about me, but actually that's the experience I made throughout all the years when I started to dig deeper into the headphone and IEM scene.

2021-12-04 17:14:16 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to keep you updated about what is happening right now. I spent the last days concentrating on getting something usable out of the Free Pro 2. For the start I tried to tune it towards the same response of the Free Pro solely by matching both responses which didn’t lead to any usable res...

All final tunings for the Earfun Free Pro should be finished by tomorrow, thanks for your pacience. I think I managed to fine tune my target even more in order to make the response even more neutral. There will be tunings for the following values available:

This is my last video with the Diamondboxx, meanwhile I returned it to Felix. I don’t think it’s really worth the asked price, maybe if you need highest volume levels while still keeping it reasonably compact.

Unfortunately it’s quite windy these days but I couldn’t wait any longer as Felix is already expecting his speaker back.

Measured outdoors from a distance of half a meter as usual. I had to measure just 1 channel as the speaker is simply too large to be measured from this distance correctly with both channels. There is a strong dip at 2khz which becomes even more obvious from the non smoothened measurement and look...

As usual for JBL the Flip 6 does not apply any kind of dynamic bass adjustment, except above half volume it starts to reduce bass while mids and treble are pushed too much at levels close to maximum.
I also attached 2 measurements with some slight EQ adjustment. One with just treble r...

Sorry for the auto focus issues, they should have been fixed with some later firmware versions but I didn’t dare to update as last time I did it always made the wireless module overheat after 20 minutes of shooting and I had to buy a new camera which still had an older firmware.

It has just arrived and I took it out for a walk immediately to compare it again the Sonos Roam and my old Flip 4. It’s a huge step above the Flip 4 with a fuller and more balanced sound and nicer treble which is not as harsh. Sound dispersion is very good thanks to the tweeter and treble has a...
