Fletcher-Munson curves generally generate more confusion than they illuminate aspects of our hearing. So for that reason I tried to explain aspects about these curves and how they relate to (headphone) audio. The 'explanation' about this can be found HERE |

"What the consequences for us, headphone people, means is that if we almost exclusively listen to music at soft listening levels a headphone with about +5dB boost in the bass to +10dB in the subbass area gives a fairly accurate/rich tonal balance.
When we mostly use headphones at comfortable to ‘normal‘ average levels about +2dB boost in the bass to +4dB in the subbass area gives a fairly accurate tonal balance.
At higher levels you don’t really need to compensate lower frequencies."
I don't know if I understand it right. Should I apply a boost in foobar graphic equalizer for sub bass and bass when listening at low levels? Or should we have different headphones for different listening levels? For example, I have the meze 99 classics - use for low level? Philips Fidelio x1 - use for medium level? Akg k701 - use for high level?
I have been applying a boost to sub bass and bass regardless of headphones used when I listen at low to medium levels. Is this a somewhat correct understanding? Thanks.

Reminds me of the old joke... Fletcher and Munson enter a low volume bar carrying a bass guitar and a triangle...
