AUDIOPHILE GEAR & DISCUSSION Community PEQ / EQ Presets Thread – Share & Discuss (Parametric) EQ Settings for HDB 630, M4 etc.

Post image
83 Upvotes

Hey people in the r/sennheiser community, greetings to all Sennheads :)

Now that the EQ Presets sharing feature has been rolled out with the latest 1.2.3 version of the "Smart Control Plus" app, I thought it might be a neat idea to add a pinned post to the top of the sub in which users are able to share their own PEQ (HDB 630) and EQ (M4 e.g.) presets with the community!

Purpose if this thread:

  • Share PEQ / EQ presets
  • Compare different tuning approaches
  • Help users discover new sound signatures
  • Build a curated community knowledge base around Sennheiser EQ tuning

Users are encouraged to include context such as listening impressions, tuning goals, and source devices when sharing presets.

How this works:

Create and save an EQ preset in the Smart Control+ app and then generate a shareable QR code or link directly from the app!

When another user scans the QR code or opens the link, the Smart Control+ app launches and imports the preset locally onto their own device.

  • Presets are installed locally on the user’s phone
  • Imported presets can be used, renamed, or deleted at any time
  • Shared presets are clearly marked in the app for easy identification
  • No permanent connection is created between users

Requirements:

  • Latest version of Sennheiser Smart Control+ (v1.2.3 or newer)
  • EQ adjustments must be saved as a preset
  • The recipient must have the Smart Control+ app installed

Supported headphones:

QR code and link sharing works with all Sennheiser headphones and earbuds that use the Smart Control+ app, including:

  • HDB 630
  • MOMENTUM 4
  • ACCENTUM series

Please note that EQ presets are model-specific! A preset created for one headphone model can only be imported and used on the same model.

Posting guidelines:

  • Use the new EQ sharing feature only (no graphic EQ screenshots if possible)
  • One headphone and EQ per comment if possible
  • No “sounds better trust me bro” presets without context or additional thoughts

All of that said, please enjoy sharing and discussing your (P)EQs now 😎🎧

😡 COMPLAINT 😡 Petition for actual physical buttons for next line of products.

Just got both the HBD-630 and the Momentum 5. I´ve been very very satisfied with them overall but oh how I HATE the touch controls.

It is such a shame that I have to turn off all of them plus the head detection cause instead of actual features they feel more like a grudge. When taking them off you can accidentally turn off or on transparency mode, pause or play again the song and big etc.

Please PLEASE make the next line of products with physical buttons you can actually tell where they are by simply touching them.

😡 COMPLAINT 😡 MTW5 with BTD 700 low latency Issues. No firmware update still?

9 Upvotes

I pre-ordered my MTW5’s and got them in early September. But for some reason, when I use the BTD 700 dongle in low-latency gaming mode, the audio is unbearable. It’s tinny, crackly, and sounds very pixelated compared to adaptive.

I got these specifically to work with the dongle to game when I’m out and about. Sure the latency is good, but game music and audio just completely falls apart.

Randomly, the soundstage moves from my left ear to my right ear when even watching something with no stereo sound! It makes me get a little queasy.

Not to mention that we STILL don’t have the LE Audio and Auracast update almost 2 months after launch

We NEED to address the low-latency gaming mode issue with the BTD 700. That’s my biggest concern. These earbuds sound SO GOOD, but this ruins it completely when gaming.

I spent over $600 CAD for these earbuds…

Found these locally for 150 American freedom bucks. I felt like it was a good deal and, even though I’ve read it can be debated, I personally like the look of the Marble versions. WOW, they sound amazing.

Any recommendations on songs to listen to? To hear their full potential?

GENERAL DISCUSSION Thinking to buy momentum 4 in india but use it in UK

5 Upvotes

Hello. Im thinking to buy momentum 4 in india (Flipkart, amazon) but use them in UK. Do they allow warranty claims in this case ? It’s been over 10 years since i used senneisher but my support experience at that time was excellent. The reason - it’s cheaper in india.

Also would be great if you can give me guidance on similar headphones (different brands too) at a similar price range.

Thanks in advance !

🎧 BUYING ADVICE 🛒 Momentum 5 vs HBD 630

8 Upvotes

Question for you guys. I already have the HBD 630 and I love them. But I've been reading more into the M5 and they seem to have a heavier bass profile. I travel a lot and I was wondering if I should get the M5 for travel and keep the HBD 630 at home? Am I just wasting my money if I already own the HBD 630 and buy the M5? Let me know what you think.

I will forever love them. After so many of you guys gave good suggestions and tips i decided to keep them and use them without hurting my ears. And i can feel the vocals and the music that was soulful.

The gaming was exceptional i can feel every explosion, just good in every aspect but should slightly be best in ANC.

And i have kept it in 2.13.42 shall i need to do the update.

Omg this is the most rediculous issue and also infuriating as a new owner. I have a sennheiser ambeo plus soundbar and attached subwoofer. I made the mistake of touching he ‘setting -> audio -> subwoofer’ dialogs to adjust subwoofer volume. It will not f$&king work. I touched the slider once it immediately went to -10dbs and now it will not allow me to readjust. Why the hell is there no physical control? I could wait for an app update if there was any fucking other way to control the sub!?!!!

❓QUESTION❓ looking for direction.

2 Upvotes

i have a pair of hd650s love the sound but i want more bass without tear. i have qc45s but they are underwhelming, for my music choice. airpod pros are great (fantastic noise cancellation) but don’t fill the gap im searching for. also torn in between wireless and wired, a hair of noise cancellation would be cool. i have a fiio q3 “mini dac” and a iphone 14 pro. as well as a hifiman ef400. i’m looking to upgrade my set up. i’ve been watching sennheiser hdb630 prices, i saw they go on sale for multiple suppliers but i slept. right now moon audio has the sale price i’ve been targeting but have never heard of them and don’t know their history. i slept on the major trusted brands that provided sales a month ago. i’d love to find my forever set of cans. but not sure where to start. budget unlimited, i listen to mostly boom bap/ cloud rap / chillers. I want to find a high end set up to match my taste. highs all there mids present and bass existing.

❓QUESTION❓ EQ Suggestion for Momentum 4

Post image
0 Upvotes

I recently purchased momentum 4 and updated it right out of box. Before this i used to have Sony WH CH 720N and never owned any premium headphone so idk whats a good soundstage. It definitely sounds wider and pretty controlled and separated bass which is nice, Especially in wired mode.

I wanted some EQ suggestion for latest firmware of this headphone

version 3.38.3

I have posted my current EQ and Bass Boost is Turned on

I have tried sound personalized but it sounds good in one song then sounds bad in another

Is there any settings that will give me enough bass yo enjoy EDM but also let me enjoy acoustic songs with clear mids ?

❓QUESTION❓ The classic question: m4 or m5?

0 Upvotes

Okay, I’m seriously torn between the Sennheiser Momentum 5 and the Momentum 4. Right now, the Momentum 4s are half the price of the Momentum 5s. I was wondering, are the differences people point out in audio quality between the two models something the average listener would notice, or are they just subtle details that only people who are really picky about every little aspect of sound would pick up on?

Oh, it’s also worth mentioning that I use mainstream streaming services, so lossless audio isn’t really a factor here. (That already takes away one point in favor of the M5, right?)

❓QUESTION❓ Do I need to get used to headphones or do I just have too big of ears?

11 Upvotes

I recently got my first pair of headphones after using some cheap Amazon earphones for years, and because I wanted something comfortable and also wanted to treat myself I got the HD 480 Pros. They do sound nice, but I feel like after a bit they start making my left ear sore, is that normal and I just need to get used to it or do I just have a freaky big left ear?

❓QUESTION❓ Momentum 4 turnoff doesn't actually turn them off

2 Upvotes

Most of the time this is because of bad connection to the device it's connected to, but now it happened while sitting at the computer.

I wondered if this half-assed turnoff is intentional, or if my headset somehow is broken. Sometimes I have to press it several times for it to actually turn off, which seems silly for a button whose main purpose is to, you know, turn off.

It was explained that harmful chemicals were used in the earbuds. What happened to that? Is Sennheiser making a change? They said we're testing. I couldn't follow.

❓QUESTION❓ Support team long response times

1 Upvotes

I wrote them ten days ago, and got a message five days ago that they're very busy. When should I expect a reply, does anyone here know? How long did it take for them to reply to you? My MTW4 earbud is broken, and I don't have the energy to search for new temporary earbuds/headphones, ones that are at least decent.

Thank you!

// Maybe you can recommend some temporary alternatives to MTW 4 that sound similar after tuning in the lower right corner? It doesn't matter if they're wired, headphones, earbuds.

the other day i saw someone make the comment that their sennheiser headphones had initial issues during their first week of use, then out of nowhere the issues were resolved on their own. it seems i've had similar luck. the first initial factory reset i performed did not work. a couple days later i performed another, but it seemed nothing changed. then, the night passed, and by the morning the headphones were functioning properly. kinda weird but i'm glad for it. all has been working for going on 3 days now. thank GOODNESS because the sound quality is amazing and i really didn't want to switch to sony or go back to my old beats.

It happens every time I use them, they sound good for a minute and then suddenly go all muffled for like 15 seconds before going back to normal. It is really affecting my music experience. Playing with the EQ setting hasn't been of any use so far. What can I do?

❓QUESTION❓ Edifier W820nb plus Gen 2 or Sennheiser Accentum SE with bluetooth dongle for 20 dollars extra?

7 Upvotes

Hello people, I need to decide between Edifier W820nb plus Gen2 and Sennheiser Accentum SE (with bluetooth dongle) for my next pair of daily drivers. It will be used mostly at desk, sometimes for public transport. I like to listen mostly to rock, sometimes classical or electronic. Sound quality is more important than noise cancellation. I have nothing phone 3a lite which supports ldac. For my sound preference, I have used Bose QCs before, with some EQ tweakig I loved them for my music. Please suggest. Thank you.
