HIFIMAN HE6 EQ settings for Mac
HIFIMAN HE6 is an over-ear headphone. This measured profile applies 10 parametric bands with a -4.3 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: +6.7 dB at 2082 Hz (Peak).
