Because everyone has different sensitivity to each frequency and every headphone has a unique frequency response curve, this site guides you through a standardized test to generate a frequency response report tailored to your hearing. It then automatically calculates the most appropriate EQ adjustment based on equal-loudness target curves and Harman curves.
We will now play an 80 Hz sine wave. Please adjust the volume until you can just hear it.
