shure e2's and e3's on rockbox

(1/5) > >>

xoppaw:
just wondering if there are any other users that have e2cs or e3cs that they use with rockbox. i'm looking for some advice on eq settings as i'm not very knowledgable in those things.   any suggestions on how you have your settings? i have both e2s and e3s so advice on either one would be appreciated...
thanks,
xoppaw

michael.conner:
I have e2c's.  I pretty much leave the EQ flat -- the trick with the e2c's is getting them well-fitted to your ear canal, so you have a decent bass response.

xoppaw:
yeah...i usually use the orange foamies to make sure i get a great seal...but i would think that there would be some eq setting to perfect the sound

mnhnhyouh:
I tried a lot of settings for my E2 but eventually settled on flat.

I replaced them with some E500 and, again, played around, and am back with a flat eq.

You can use foobar+rockbox to calibrate your EQ for your headphones.  In foobar, you can use the following to generate a 400Hz 10 second test tone:

tone://400,10

Copy that to your clip board, goto edit, and chose "insert track".  Chose a few frequencies corresponding to the EQ bands you want to adjust in Rockbox.  You can only change 5 at a time, so this shouldn't be hard.  

Then use the file converter to make it into a wav/flac/whatever file and load into rockbox.  You may want to replaygain them in foobar first, since I think foobar gives them all equal energy, not perceived loudness!  Once in, play them while adjusting the Rockbox EQ.  You should set the EQ so that they sound about the same volume, that way Rockbox will produce an accurate sounding copy of your music.

Once you've done that, you may want to tweak them a little more to taste, but thats a personal call.
