I love when a graph help us to understand what our ears were telling us. It's like "Oh, so that's what it is!"

Despite not knowing how they are compensating - it looks like crap - huge 7k peak!

Any graphs of known IEMS from that site - to compare on a relative basis?

Good question, I pm'd the guy who posted the link asking for other graphs from the site of CIEMS and some known headphones like the hd600 or hd800. I don't speak korean so it's a little hard to navigate for me.

Definitely a nail in coffin for the "JH makes flat sounding earphones!!!!" people, though.

yeah, I can't see a compensation curve looking like the inverse of that 7kHz peak. not a good spot to have spike.

That spike appears to be perfectly placed to accommodate a feline's HRTF. Do they make a version that's tuned for the human ear though?

The bass character was too much for me on min setting and just sounded like noise.  Jerry thought I should turn it up to make is sound better.  I was like, "huh"?  That distortion in the bass, mids through treble explains why I thought they were so unresolving and low fi sounding compared to even the JH13fp let alone the UERM.

I can confirm this isn't the case!

Looks like extra resonance due to improper placement in the 711 coupler. I have FR measurements of it at low/mid/high bass settings.

It's not much prettier, but it's more telling because the resonance artifact is not as silly looking.

Don't have time to post now, but I'll try to get it up later. Someone else posted that version on HF as well.
