Pro, Audiophile and consumer headphone reviews, pics, news, suggestions, etc.
I can't find any specs for OpenRun Pro drivers, regarding frequency response. I have them hooked to my PC atm and played around with EQ for a few hours. They sound better to my ears with a boost around 180Hz. And I dropped 23Hz entirely as it seems to just cause distortion. They seem tinny with a flat EQ curve. I bought these for cycling and I'm happy with them, but the EQ is an issue, certainly. Anyone have an EQ preset they use? I'm using PulseEffects.
@heavyboots@lemmy.ml and OP: I use Cat-Ears to knock down wind noise on my rides: https://www.cat-ears.com/ They look stupid and IDGAF. I can much better hear the environment AND use my Shockz while riding. The Cat-Ears greatly reduce wind noise to the point where my Shockz remain audible to about 28 MPH. YMMV, of course. Seriously: Cat-Ears are the only reason I wear a helmet.
I only use my Shockz for podcasts and audiobooks, so I got nothing to offer on EQ.
Neat! Thanks, I'll try these.
Cool tip, thanks!
Given the amount of wind noise once you're up over like 15mph, I have honestly never thought much about my Aftershockz EQ. In-ear buds give much better frequency response and clarity but also you have little warning if any of cars passing you, which is why I switched to Aftershocks within about a month and barely ever use my Airpod Pros for anything.
Oh yeah, I haven't tried these in high wind yet. Just biking farm roads at dawn.
