Headphone Equalization (> 1200 models covered)

[zeerround]

I found a huge stash of Impulse Response files for equalizing headphones:

"Headphone Compensation Filters

​

The dataset also includes compensation filters for a wide range of commonly used headphones. The filters can be used to equalize individual headphones to the​

diffuse-field target frequency response. Individual headphone equalization is recommended to compensate for undesired spectral coloration introduced by the​

listener's headphones and to improve the plausibility of the binaural simulations. The filters are provided as single channel WAV files with a sampling rate of​

44100Hz. Magnitude response plots of the filters are also provided"​

You can use them with convolution DSPs in players like J-River, Foobar2000, etc. There is also "Equalizer PO" to add the ability to windows sound in general. Or you can "convolve" them with tracks outside of players with ffmpeg, so as to "pre-equalize" your track for playback in players that don't have on board convolution.

I can follow up with some more specific instructions if people ask about specific use cases.

Also I will be using/discussing more in the Surround Virtualization thread in the coming days:

As a teaser I will have 22 different Room+Head Impulse Response files for surround virtualization to try, plus these headphone IR's to increase the quality of the virtualization for your specific headphones.
