But in the meantime something unexpected has happened which made the whole tuning process a complete nightmare but in the end it turned out to be godsent. I will explain the whole story around the process...

Earfun Free Pro - work in progress

I had recorded a longer video before covering more topics and going more into detail, but was asked not to mention some aspects. 

I can provide a link to those who are really interested and don't get bored of me talking for about an hour about sound etc. Just drop me a private message ...

Sennheiser AMBEO - sample variation

I measured all 3 AMBEO units as they all sound slightly different and would need different EQ settings for best results, there seems to be some stronger sample variation present when looking at these graphs. Graphs are raw uncompensated and the AMBEO sets have the flat EQ preset applied.

Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset - revisited

Caution: I just received a 3rd unit and it sounds again different and has some stronger imbalance. There seem to be some severe quality issues with this product, maybe therefore they are sold now for such a low price. But if you manage to get a decent unit, you will get amazing sound, I am r...

Music session #3 - MPB Sundara 2020

Originally I didn't want to post this when I heard the issues with the microphones, but it seems the main part still sounds OK, just at the beginning and during some shorter parts you can hear the sound cutting off a bit, sorry for that. Unfortnately my new microphones haven't arrived yet, dunno ...

Earfun Free Pro - Oluv edition

Sorry for my absence but I was quite busy lately and just finished my tuning for the upcoming Earfun Free Pro "Oluv edition". Also" photo shooting" for the packaging had to be done etc. (in reality just some selfies)

I think if my tuning translates well into the DSP the IEM will sound very ...

Time in the picture 1/2021

"Zeit im Bild" is the most popular daily Austrian news TV show since the 50s. I simply translated it word by word as it sounds so funny. 

With this new "show" I would like to share some spontaneous news, work in progress, etc if don't have time or possibility for full reviews as long a...

Skiing fun

Just wanted to post this as it may be funny seeing me fall whole the time, but I had noticed too late that my binding was not set properly, that's why it opened repeatedly. I let it adjust afterwards which cost me just 5€ and wanted to go up again, but it was already quite late thus I preferred...

Music session #1

This was a first try of a "music session". I am not sure if anyone is interested in that kind of videos, but as I am doing walks with my dogs often, it's not a big deal to take a camera and some speakers or headphones with me and simply shoot something listening to various kinds of music and shar...

Update: Video seems to work now!

Sorry, I noticed too late that the video got blocked  again due to copyright because of a Kylie Minogue track, which I cut out now.

Apple Airpods Max special - the final take!

I am really glad that my last pair of microphones is still alive and allowed me to finish this video, but I am no 100% confident with the recording in terms of absolute fidelity. The relative differences between all headphones can be still distinguished quite well here and appear correct to me, b...

Mr. Speakers Ether CX - frequency response measurement

This is the perceived response of the Mr. Speakers Ether CX measured with my own ears and the default tuning pads, it comes with various kinds of felt-pads, but they all do not really improve the sound rather make it even more muddy.
I am not sure about the measured imbalance for left and righ...

Measuring speakers

Just wanted to show you how I usually measure speakers outdoors. 

Smaller speakers (like Soundlink Mini) etc can be nicely measured nearfield indoors, but with larger speakers I need a bigger distance to capture their sound and have to go outdoors to avoid any room influence to show up...

Christmas listening

I recorded this the day before Christmas and wanted to post it right afterwards, but I noticed some problems with the audio recording. Obviously the pressure of the headphones on my back-ear area caused the left microphone to move a bit, thus the left ear sounds blocked when I listen to some head...
