Atrium / Headphone EQ / mid-forward
Mid-forward headphones
Mid-forward headphones put vocals and lead instruments ahead of both ends of the spectrum. Voices sound direct and present, but the presentation can turn shouty and the extremes feel missing. The EQ eases the mids back into balance with the bass and treble around them.
Classification is computed from each model's measured correction: average deviation from the neutral target in the bass (20 to 250 Hz), mids and treble (2.5 to 12 kHz). 181 of the 4,332 measured models land here.
