With all the time I had spent with experiments on my headphone work recently, I had noticed that when switching to the Uboom X it sounded somehow too different for my taste and I started to think if this could be improved even more. Here I would like to show you my first results although I cannot promise that these changes will ever be realized as in the end this will heavily depend on Earfun's kindness, but I would definitely like to replace 949 with an improved version based on my current tweaks with further changes as follows:
Studio mode should be included again in an improved state like shown here because many have wished for it.
Indoor and indoor+ should also be slightly more natural sounding now, the differences are rather subtle, but I think in real life they are more obvious and trained listeners should definitely welcome the changes.
Instead of outdoor I would like to include desktop now and maybe improve this as well, unfortunately there is no way to change the app or the labels somehow, therefore this is the only way to squeeze in these modes instead the original ones somehow.
I would like to apply the same "clarity" trick used for the indoor modes also for outdoor+ and Boom xXX. Unfortunately Boom xXX within 949 has the limiter settings screwed up a bit which resulted in too much distortion compared to 048 as I had tried to squeeze out even more bass at high levels, therefore I would like to get it back to the same state as before.
Ground O will remain the new ground mode which I would also like to tweak a bit maybe, as I found some areas for possible improvements.
Please let me know what you think, if you can hear any difference at all or it's worth the effort to invest further time into this, or simply leave it as is and forget about all this. But just to satisfy my own personal demands I would definitely like to finish all this.
