Please keep in mind that with the built in EQ you will never be able to achieve a perfectly smooth sound quality let alone every ear would need a custom adjustment to compensate for the individual ear canal resonance. Nevertheless I think the sound quality with my setting is quite enjoyable although far from perfect. I am currently in the process of finishing my settings for the Free Pro 2 averaged over several units following my neutral IEM target, thus you may want to try this if you are not satisfied with the result for the Free Pro 3.

Also those who noticed a big change in sound between normal mode and ANC, I can share a setting which should give you more or less the same sound with ANC as with normal mode if you use my “natural EQ”:

For those who would prefer an even flatter bass response than my “natural EQ” which in fact is already slightly boosted and should reflect the effects of a typical in-room response a bit better, I also created a setting which should represent a rather flat bass response. Please keep in mind that due to lack of possible adjustments my Free Pro 3 EQ has too much between 1-2khz but too little above that, therefore the entire balance is not perfectly correct anyhow:

Interessant. Das deckt sich mit meiner Crinacle-Theorie. Ich glaube da werden einfach nur Parameter an Vorgabekurven (Harman oder was auch immer) angepasst. Bei höherpreisigen IEM ist meist sehr viel Zubehör zur Klanganpassung dabei. Von Tips aller Art (Länge, Tiefe, Material, Durchmesser usw.) über wechselbare "nozzles" mit unterschiedlichem Innendurchmesser und unterschiedlicher Bautiefe (nozzle-Länge) bis zu Filtereinsätzen etc.. Eben aufgrund unterschiedlicher Ohr- und Ohrkanalbeschaffenheit kann man die anatomischen Unterschiede doch relativ stark mit "Tuning" beeinflussen. Ist im Grunde das selbe wir mit den BTS. Die klingen aus 50cm Entfernung in einem kleinen Raum anders als in einem großen Raum. Mittig am Tisch anders als in der Raumecke usw.. Selbe mit großen Anlagen oder nich komplexer: Car HiFi. Raumakustik ist alles, die beste Anlage klingt Scheiße wenn sie falsch eingemessen und/oder/bzw. falsch aufgestellt ist. Und genau deshalb werden Standard BTS und TWS InEars und auch Auto-Anlagen mit Universalsettings versehen, man deckt die Masse ab, was ziemlich schwierig ist und zwangsläufig zu Mittelmaß führt. Auch wenn sich Puristen immer wieder auf Material und Messwerte berufen, DSP (aus dem BTS-Bereich nicht mehr wegzudenken) verteufeln und EQing ablehnen: Individualisierbarkeit ist alles! 😉💪🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

I'd definitally prefer the preset with a flatter bass too :) Thanks it was nice to listen to your review of the FP3.

Michał Janiak

Wow, the difference in sound between different resonances sounds exactly how i perceived it while trying different tunings for the free pro 2, mind blowing that you managed to achieve this Oluv !

S. Ayar

EQ on the screenshot is the same as normal Oluv's natural EQ, did you forget to click on ANC EQ maybe?

Mario Strugger

Hi Oluv, wie sieht’s aktuell an der earfun-Front aus? Wie hoch sind die Chancen dass du voll Zugriff auf die free pro 3 bekommst bzw. dass es wieder eine richtige Oluv edition kommt? Lg

S. Ayar

Thanks! With this EQ it sounds good with ANC too. Before sound was a bit off with ANC in loud enviroment in the city

Still in the box but this weekend is testing time! Really liked my v1, only downside is the plasticy build quality. Several small cracks but can't really complain after intensive use over long time and low price. Hope v3 is improved in this area.

I feel it is a bit boomy even in your Neutral turning.

S. Ayar

This has even better potential then free pro 2 if can be tuned with parametric EQ hopefully. Specially on Android (Pixel) with Aptx sound is sonically developed impressively. But still free pro 2 is more refined and correct sounding of course thanks to personal parametric EQ. I'm keeping the Free Pro 3 with the hope of further EQ developments from Oluv, but also using it as guilty pleasure sometimes for a bit colour change in sound and impressive imaging, energy and stage it has.

Is it worth upgrading to the 3 if I already have the 2? I only use the Free Pro 2 when I'm sitting at a desk as the fit isn't great and they fall out easily. When walking around I use the Earfun Free 1S

Ich kanns nicht sagen und es liegt nicht an mir. Angeblich geht’s nicht, bzw Earfun schafft es nicht

oluvsgadgets

The Free Pro 3 has slightly different fit, many seem to like the fit more now

Mario Strugger

Ok danke für die Antwort. Danke auch für deine Arbeit und ich hoffe man wird weiterhin regelmäßig von dir hören! Lg

Douwe de Vries

Thank you for the great presets Oluv :) These work really well on AAC for me with my iPhone. I do however also have an Android device using APTX. The frequency response is different on that codec. Edit: a little hard to describe but it's like the highs are a bit in the face on APTX for me haha For a bit more smoothness in the highs im using this preset on APTX (without ANC - too warm with ANC on): 31.5: 1 dB 63: -9 dB 125: -4 dB 250: -2 dB 500: 0 dB 1K: -6 dB 2K: -2 dB 4K: 9 dB 8K: -9 dB 16K: 3 dB | -1 dB -1 dB setting smoother then 3 dB

Unfortunately I don’t have an Aptx device except the Shanling M1, but I didn’t try that yet. I will try it out, so thanks for pointing that out.

Douwe de Vries

I think it is a more full bodied sound on Aptx and there can be some sibillance with more bright female vocals, snares and things. I do preceive some difference in that. I'm using them also on a Samsung tablet. I have uninstalled SoundAlive so it doesn't have Samsungs sauce on it - to disable any more coloring of the sound.

T Adrian

hello..can u teach me how to uninstall samsung sound alive?. i haveSamsung s20 fe 5g.

With Free Pro 1&2 the fit was better for me, because the biggest hooks where slightly longer than the ones with Free Pro3. The Hooks of EFP3 are to short for my ears and can´t get a grip. The fit on 1&2 is also better without using hooks , because the earbuds are a little less bulky than the 3s and had a perfect fit for me. One the new ones i have to correct the position more. But i am a very tall guy with big ears. The EFP3 sounding really good, but not better as the EFP2 with Oluvs parametric EQ-Settings. The EQ of the EFP3 is too limited get the same results. I hope Oluv find a way to get his hands on in a proper way.

Brolle

Well the fit is the real con with V3 - original is perfect for me. The new ones a little bit bigger (protrudes outwards from the ear). Impossible to use laying the head on a pillow. Also running with V3 is not possible since the weight/fit pull them out of the ear. Otherwise I think the build is improved, incl the case. Soundwise sort of the same? No big improvement according to me...
