I ordered a new UMIK measuring microphone as mine could have become less precise over time. I got suspicious seeing the measurement of the KH80 which is claimed to be dead flat above 1khz, but I definitely see a bump towards treble:
I want my results to be as precise as possible. Choosing the Nubert X3000 as "neutral" reference was obvioiusly not the greatest idea, but at least you have a tuning for the HD600 and HD58X which resembles the sound of the X3000 quite well, I managed to copy the Nubert house-sound and bring it onto headphones so to say.
I will start my work next week, I need some rest now to let my ears recover and then will need to restart my matching procedure from scratch which will also mean that my binaural compensation will need some rework. If the headphone sound is too bright, this means that the recording itself should become brighter to still ensure the same final result.
I was quite happy actually that my binaural compensation looked pretty plausible so far, but I will need more tilt towards treble obviously. In black the reference spectrum from the X3000, in blue the binaural recording and orange compensated:
With this combination of headphone EQ and compensation I got very realistic results, but this will obviously need even more treble boost.
