HIFIMAN HE-X4 EQ settings for Mac
HIFIMAN HE-X4 is an over-ear headphone. This measured profile applies 10 parametric bands with a -6.3 dB preamp to bring it toward the Harman target. Low end: it adds back what the measurement shows is missing; treble: it reins in what the measurement shows is too much. Biggest single move: +6.5 dB at 105 Hz (Low shelf).
