Hi Gordon, as Ian has said a few times, when we take off our audiophile goggles (or should that be 'blinkers') , things like BT transmission, compression at 320 etc, all suddenly sound quite listenable. We all, as a group, (myself included) sometimes times lose sight of what's really important, and what's not. Does it really and truly matter whether you're listening in 24/96khz or 320kbs, or is the most important thing that you are really and truly enjoying the music?

The music is the Kingmaker, even as it turns out, Coldplay. Albeit remixes thereof. Saluté

Here's what I'd like to do. I now have the Flip 3 and whilst it's pretty decent for what it is it does have issues with the sound which are not disimilar to what I get from my HD 650's non-EQ'd. The bass is non-existant below about 50Hz but between 60-80Hz it's very present. The treble is muted but I fear there's little I'll be able to do anything about that. The Flip 3 is what it is, a handy, portable, durable ghetto blaster. I'm thinking I'm going to try out the Sonarworks plug-in to see if I can find something similar in the headphone world. If I can then that would be nice. I've already tried it with the HD 650 setting selected and it sounds horrible, lol. Here's a link to a casual Google search for images of the Flip 3's FR.. Flip 3 ChartsDo any of those charts resemble a headphone you've owned. Any input appreciated as it'll take me an eternity to just flip through them all one by one.

You know me Gordon. I don't really do FR graphs, but looking at the ones you linked to I think that patient is a goner The way you describe things though brings to mind the Logitech UE-6000 with the active noise cancellation disabled. I it being really quite understated in terms of treble and whilst the bass was boosted there really wasn't much going on lower down. If you don't have to pay for the plug-ins it might be worth giving one a try if you don't get any other suggestions. Suspect Frans might be able to offer suggest something closer to what you're after though as he understands this stuff far better than I do.

The picture below is from www.oluvsgadgets.net/I didn't ask whether it's O.K. to use it though. Oluv's Gadgets is a great and informative website.... The Flip 3 actually measures quite flat and not at all bad for a speaker. There are no headphones with that kind of plot though. The 'problem' with these plots is that it isn't clear how they are measured. Probably anechoic at 1 meter distance like most speakers. What isn't shown in the graphs is how the sound dispersion pattern is. For headphones this is no issue for speakers all the more. When treble is emitted right to the front where it is measured the levels will differ when measured from the side. This 'skews' the whole FR of the entire speaker when it is placed somewhere in a room. The position in the room, the listening position, the acoustics, the listening distance all would require a different EQ. The bass response is actually quite decent down to 100Hz. Much lower in FR isn't possible (at decent volume levels) because of physics. Just enjoy the sound and experiment with placement and listening positions perhaps. Maybe use some 'standard' tone controls if so desired.
