Reply to comment by justaalawstudent in K702s with L30II and E30II - is it supposed to sound this harsh? by justaalawstudent

Were you able to get as far as exporting the AutoEQ settings? They will just be downloaded as a .txt file. If you have, you just need to load up the full interface in Peace (the option on the right when you open Peace) and then find the import button and just select that .txt file from your computer. Then just make sure to save it so it adds it to your list of EQs. The import button is sort of small and easy to miss. Easiest way to describe it is if you find the Green + and Red - buttons, look just below them. They are on the right side of the program.

Again, thank you for this. I thought the Harman curve was supposed to be "neutral" so I didn't even think of using other measurements, but after tweaking a lot I found a K701 measurement that REALLY tames the harshness. I was nuts thinking of selling the E30II before doing this. It solved the problem. Now I'm enjoying my K702s again.

Edit: that was not a misspell, it's a K701 measurement that I'm using (which shouldn't be all that surprising that it works since they sound almost identical).

I found that AutoEQ made a huge difference for me with my K702s. I find myself using them more than my HD6XX now. And I only found it when Crinacle just did a quick demo of it in passing in one if his videos. It makes a mild improvement to my HD6XX, but the difference with the K702s was massive. I know a lot of people don't like the idea of EQing (I was one if them) but it's free and it can be an improvement.

Edit: Also, if you want to try keep it as close to stock sounding just for the sake of it, make a copy of that EQ profile and just start moving the siders back towards 0. If you don't like it, just put it back to the value it was. I find even all the K702 really needs is a reduction in the 2000hz range. That gets rid of most of the harshness.
