I can't find any specs for OpenRun Pro drivers, regarding frequency response. I have them hooked to my PC atm and played around with EQ for a few hours. They sound better to my ears with a boost around 180Hz. And I dropped 23Hz entirely as it seems to just cause distortion. They seem tinny with a flat EQ curve. I bought these for cycling and I'm happy with them, but the EQ is an issue, certainly. Anyone have an EQ preset they use? I'm using PulseEffects.
Shockz OpenRun Pro driver specs? EQ settings?

@heavyboots@lemmy.ml and OP: I use Cat-Ears to knock down wind noise on my rides: https://www.cat-ears.com/ They look stupid and IDGAF. I can much better hear the environment AND use my Shockz while riding. The Cat-Ears greatly reduce wind noise to the point where my Shockz remain audible to about 28 MPH. YMMV, of course. Seriously: Cat-Ears are the only reason I wear a helmet.
I only use my Shockz for podcasts and audiobooks, so I got nothing to offer on EQ.

Neat! Thanks, I'll try these.

Given the amount of wind noise once you're up over like 15mph, I have honestly never thought much about my Aftershockz EQ. In-ear buds give much better frequency response and clarity but also you have little warning if any of cars passing you, which is why I switched to Aftershocks within about a month and barely ever use my Airpod Pros for anything.

Oh yeah, I haven't tried these in high wind yet. Just biking farm roads at dawn.
