    Hi Pule, could you be more specific as to what graphs do you need and also for which headphones?

    tnx! HD 800 has a consistent production, cheaper headphones have larger variance. Here is the only difference in the deepest bass.

    Everyone wants an instant fix. I'm with you. Do the work, stop being lazy and learn your craft, if that's what it is as you divide your time between hackneyed old trance tracks and Playstation and Porn.

    I'm stuck there. I hope for a brighter future for the young.

    You are correct. Notably, when I tried the "Individual" calibration on another set of HD 800 the highs sounded too harsh. if you want to try my "Individual" calibration file on yours let me know and I will send you a copy.

    Story, once they have been modified if you are going to be using Sonnarworks you must have the Individual Calibration. Do you know who did the mod on yours? The reason I asked is because one of the engineers here does have a pair of modified 800s and depending on who did the mod he may have a file that although not the Individual one does take into consideration the mods that have been done. Much better than Average. I can send you copy of it.

    Sonnarworks corrections are more accurate than TB's. IF I were to use TB, I would use Sonnarworks to flatten my headphones and proceed to simulate different headphones with TB.

    Thanks for reply. As a correction to my original post: I have A/B'ed the SW hd800 flat response calibration some mor and they sound horrible WITHOUT the calibration now. When I turn the calibration off, the treble becomes extremely harsh and noisy. The difference is enormous.

    I don't know who modded them, nor does the seller from whom I received them. Check em' out

    Nevermind, hd800 with SW is sick AF. I could never imagine using without it. I was previously disoriented in such a way that made the realization of this a gradually process.

    It looks like the Anaxilus Mod. Try this file in Sonnarworks and let me know how it went.

    Thanks for the Anaxilus calibration! I'm testing it right now: the visual frequency response calibration curve looks almost identical to the stock file afai can tell - doesn't it?

    You are right about that. It is the same with every comparison between Average and Individual Calibration files unless something is very wrong with your headphones. What surprises me about the file I sent you is that it can be used in ANY computer. Maybe one of the members here can look at it and find in it the key to "unlock" all calibration files for Sonarworks.
