Drop Pandas SoundID EQ Samples
Hey guys, just starting this off so we can gather around some frequency measurements and sample graphs for our Panda users for use with the SoundID app. If you could post the custom frequency measurements you created along with the graph and the type of music you listen to or prefer for the custom preset you have created.
Cheers!

Hey Panda Fans! I also generated a profile that fits my taste of listening. Its a bit more aggressive than flat and i am still optimizing it. This preset is done for high volume listening. From the left we start with a nice foundation of bass (36Hz, +7dB), followed by a even higher top in the upper bass section around 190Hz for very pronounced kick drums and a nice body of voices. Then we see a deep valley in the mid tones followed of a next top around 4500Hz (+8dB) for voice and instrument seperation. There is a little spike at 12.000Hz for attack of the percussion instruments an voices to become clear. This point is very tricky and even a very little change in dB can cause the change between muffled or shouty. Its hard to find the exact point. On the right side i lifted the very highs just to bring in some shiny glitter.

Can people list the properties of each point?
If you click on each point on the graph and then click on the various properties such as freq, Q then it shows frequency, db, type, and Q.
You can write these all down in a listand then we can reproduce exactly what you have instead of guessing.
For example
Type. db freq. q
Low shelf 2. 132
Bell. 2 2900. 0.5
This is just an example, not a good equalization.
Thanks!

An awesome initiative @Patson for the community to have one singular thread to post their EQs for others. In any case, this is the tuning I am using personally. It is close to the ideal Harman curve with a slight priority given towards the sub and mid-bass and also the high frequencies (i like them a bit sparkly without them being sibilant or overbearing :D ). I have also added a 2db overall gain to the EQ so that it can compensate for the volume reduction with the current firmware and would give more headroom for quieter soundtracks. Hope this EQ helps you guys out and last of all, happy listening! (sorry @iAmBoomerStrong but i am using your classic ending here :P )

Damnit, imgur didn't update it?
Edit: Created a new post entirely with the Q-Factor values and added the link in the earlier post. For some reason, imgur didn't update the post's description. Hope this finally helps you guys out :D

DsgrigorianI would just recommend lowering all the points in dB, this way, the Eq will decrease the non-desired frequencies, while keeping a good level on the boosted frequencies.
This article explains better than me: https://www.soundguys.com/how-to-equalize-fine-tune-your-listening-experience-16410/
"As a general rule of thumb (actually it’s more like a rule), cutting is better than boosting. If you boost too much you can introduce distortion, which is the opposite of what we’re trying to accomplish here. Boosting also tends to result in a loss of clarity and, in some cases, can result in some weird phasing problems. A visual analogy to the cut/boost relationship would be like turning up the ISO on a camera. It makes the image brighter but simultaneously makes the image grainier."

Right ear keeps cutting out
So I have a PC38x headset that I bought a few years back. I moved away from home for work, and left the headset there with my gaming PC. I used it maybe 2 or 3 times before I left, and it always had the problem of it cutting out in my right ear phone. It makes like a crackling noise like something is loose, and then cuts out the audio entirely. Sometimes it works for a few minutes, but inevitably cuts out on the right side again. I am wondering if there is a fix? Or could I be shipped a new one?

Please suggest headphones for me.
Please someone here help buy a headphone for my use case- listen mostly Indian music ( old and new Bollywood songs ) . play them on my iPhone. So need to be wireless. must be light and comfortable for small ears and 3-4 hours of listening. noise canceling is not important. budget is around $150. i am not audiophile by any means and do not understand much of the jargon. Just want something that sounds good and is comfortable on my ears while I work from home. thank you all.

E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

pc38x still has audio coming through with the volume dial turned all the way down
Finally got my hands on the pc38x. I mostly wanted to try this headset because of all the good things i heard about it. Out of the box i wasn’t really impressed. My 50 dollar astros were just as loud if not louder. After setting up an EQ on dolby access i got them sounding a little better. But one thing that really bothers me is the volume dial on the headset. When i turn it all the way down there’s so much audio still coming through, like the headset is turned up 10-20%. Is this normal?

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.
