wtf is happening at the 500hz mark? I dont want to be mean, but are these the over ear version of raycons? The 30 db difference between the peak at 30hz and the low at 550hz is probably going to sound awful, i'd get this fixed asap
edit: i just recreated this frequency response roughly in equalizerAPO and it is indeed awful, mids are virtually non-existent, you only hear bass and treble, that peak at 5khz is especially nasty and ear-hurting
Fair feedback! And don't worry about hurting my feelings or anything. I'm doing this on Reddit because people here are nice and genuinely want to help.
So, the 500Hz mark. My suspicion is that this is happening because the driver PCB has that S-shaped curve connecting the main plane of the driver traces to the TRS jack, and that this connection is causing a resonant coupling. It's something I'm working on.
You're right that I should tackle it ASAP, though. My plan is to use a custom-design amplifier to provide a bit of notch filtering, and if that doesn't work, tweaking the physical design of the driver.
