IEM Measurements
I linked my Arete II measurements so you can see exactly what I’m hearing—default vs bass switch on, and how it sits around the IEF target. It’s also the easiest way to visualize why the Arete II comes across a bit darker than neutral with that slightly trimmed pinna gain.
Pros
- +Shows default vs bass-switch-on response clearly
- +Helps confirm tuning choices (bass shelf, trimmed upper mids/treble)
- +Useful for comparisons to targets and other IEMs
Cons
- -Graphs don’t replace actually listening (stage and attack still matter)
