Currently applying to Elex and HE1000SE (on audition). Not sure how I feel yet. The difference doesn't jump right out, but I think both sound... cleaner? And more to a neutral tuning?

How did you create the correction profiles?

I took them from here. Click through the first six folders, and it gives you filters for a host of HP/IEMs. Click on the model you want, then download either the "minimum phase 44.1 or 48hz" files. Or both, which you can then combine as a Zip file. (I believe. I could be doing it wrong.)

Installing AutoEq, you can create your own stuff that doesn’t use Harman as a target. And also convolution WAVs for higher bitrates, though Roon will convert the ones you have as necessary, too.
I used to create EQ settings (and convolution WAVs) with AutoEq to make certain HPs sound like others (tonally, not technically, of course). :)

Working my way through HPs and IEMs I have with me, trying filters. Never really been into EQ before, but I can see how you can get lost in this. Suddenly makes frequency response seem much less important than technicalities.

Though tuning to Harman curve seems to suck a bit of life out of things, it does tighten up, in particular, the bass response. OG Andromeda biggest change thus far. Much cleaner for better or worse. I'm sure everyone knows about all of this already.
