We arrived in Italy yesterday and I am currently at the beach listening with the Free Pro 2 and a completely new tuning which I quickly finished the night before leaving.

At first I wanted to take the HD58X together with the Qudelix with me but then I decided to spent some hours the night before we left analysing the measurements of both headphones/earphones that Oratory1990 made on his rig. I wanted to achieve more or less the same sound for my Free Pro 2 unit which I am hearing from the HD58X with my current neutral target and I think I managed a first quick result which I am pretty satisfied with. It’s not 100% the same as I cannot quite use the measurements precisely because both responses matched perfectly sound completely different, therefore I needed to approximate it by ear using my existing Free Pro 2 tuning for upper mids and treble and then readjusted bass to make them sound more similar. According to the measurements this results in a huge dip between 600-1000hz compared to the HD58X but if I raise this it starts to sound off again. This may be a result of the GRAS system not measuring precisely with that shallow insertion depth or simply a significant difference in sound perception between overears and IEMs, not quite sure. As I have not enough filters to model the bass area precisely for the Free Pro 2 I left it when I achieved something satisfying.

I am not sure if there are still any Free Pro 2 users here but I can post my current setting which should be much closer to my current “neutral target” than my previous approaches. This setting will only work for those with an ear canal resonance of 6000hz or close to this.

Thanks to this I am listening to more music again right now. It always took me quite a bit to get used to my previous Free Pro 2 tuning when I was listening with the HD58X for longer before. Now I can enjoy both equally well and have a tiny convenient listening solution for on the go.

I am still waiting for any feedback regarding my HD58X EQ in order to know how others perceive it.

Ja, poste mal bitte das 6KHz setting. Hab zwar andere Werte mit L/R shift, aber rein interessehalber... Schönen Urlaub noch! 🏖️

I am also interested in the new free pro 2 eq for 6khz. The latest hd58x eq sounds perfect for me, it indeed improves the soundstage a lot.

I am still a happy Free Pro 2 user, currently running your "Reference" tuning for 7000hz resonance. I also really enjoyed your "Neutral" tuning before that, but feel like the current tuning has better vocal presence and sounds less "dry" somehow.. I'd love to try a new tuning on it though :) Sometimes I wish it had more of a tight, "tactile" bass to it.. but I'm starting to think this "round" bass is a character of the Free Pro 2. By the way, have you looked at the new Nothing Ear 2 tws earbuds? They just released a new app for it with what appears to be a very adjustable EQ.

Yea I was already told about the new app by someone else. I may try to contact Nothing Ear about a unit.

Yes. Please post your new tuning. I am also very interested to hear it on my pair of Free Pro 2. Thanks

I'm also using the Free Pro 2 daily :) My ear canal reference is also at 6K and I'm interested in the new tuning as well. Have a great time there in Italy :) Good to see you out there enjoying.

I am another one still using the earfun free pro 2 with tuning for 7000 hz resonance. And also interested in your new settings.

It won’t work for you. It could work for those around 5900-6100hz. 6200 would already sound off. I must first fine tune mine to get a final curve and then try to approximate the same response with different insertion depths.

I'm still using these, almost daily. At the gym especially. Really hoping for a proper Noise Cancelling mode on the next one without the boomy bass. Tried out the latest tuning you posted and I quite enjoy it a lot. Thank you.

Dennis Schmitz

Noticed as well. It sounds so much wider.
