AutoEQ is an open-source project that utilizes professional measurement data from audio reviewers like RTINGS, Crinacle, and Oratory1990. It generates mathematically precise inverse EQ curves to correct your specific headphones to a target "Harman Curve" (the gold standard for idealized, neutral sound).
