Changelog
Recent updates to the catalog and the site — newest first.
-
Preference score on product pages
Each product page now shows a Preference score — a 0–100 estimate of how much listeners tend to prefer the tuning, derived from the curve using the Olive in-ear model and judged against the same-rig reference target. It's labelled an estimate (the model is a guide, not a verdict) and also appears in the picker hover card and the API.

How To Read: a Parametric EQ guide
The How To Read guide has a new section explaining the Parametric EQ panel — what peak and shelf filters do, how AutoEQ matches a target, what the preamp is for, and how to export to Equalizer APO, GraphicEQ or miniDSP. Available in every site language.
-
Parametric EQ with AutoEQ and export
There's now a Parametric EQ panel under the chart: add peak and shelf filters and watch the equalized curve update live, or hit AutoEQ to generate filters that match the selected target automatically (same-rig only). Export your filters to Equalizer APO, a GraphicEQ string (Wavelet, Poweramp, AutoEq) or miniDSP biquads. The EQ is applied to the measured curve, not your individual ears — there's no personal HRTF involved.
-
Better "Similar IEMs" matching
The "Similar IEMs" suggestions now weight the ear-gain and presence region more heavily — the part of the frequency response your ear is most sensitive to — so the matches line up where tonal balance matters most. Suggestions are also limited to the same measurement rig, so a curve is only ever compared to others measured on the same coupler.
-
Thinner chart curves
Trimmed the curve line weight by 30% so dense comparisons read more cleanly — individual curves stay distinct when many are overlaid, and the target guide line keeps its lighter weight relative to the measurements.
-
CrinEar Reference added
Added the CrinEar Reference — Crinacle's neutral-tuned flagship, a 2DD (HODWS) + 3BA hybrid — with its measurement from a public source and full verified specs (impedance, sensitivity, driver config, cable and price).
-
Export the chart as image or data
The chart's save button is now an export menu: download a PNG at 1×/2×/3× quality, a crisp vector SVG, or the underlying curve data as CSV or JSON. The data exports give you the raw measurement points (not the smoothed on-screen view), with the measurement rig noted per curve — handy for reviewers and content creators.
-
Audio Dream earphones added
Added 10 Audio Dream models — including the AD6 V2, Motus, Baby EST, Somnium Aether and the Aether Nexus flagship — with measurements from public sources. Several carry verified specs from the manufacturer.
-
Sort the picker by target match
In Compare, once you pick a reference target you can sort the earphone list by how closely each one follows it — the best matches rise to the top, each with its adherence percentage. Only earphones measured on the same rig as the target are ranked.
-
Target match scores
Each product page — and the hover preview in Compare — now shows how closely an earphone follows the reference targets, as a weighted percentage. The match emphasises the most audible regions and only compares against targets measured on the same rig as the earphone.
