We had a meeting with Charles Sprinkle who indicated it was a primary goal for the tuning to be Harman-like. We had our suspicions before the meeting too, since their marketing material also very clearly showed the "Studio" preset targeting a smooth, Harman-like response.

Very interesting, can say it looks quite a bit different than our results for the unveiled versions. Attached is data for the Arya Unveiled. The HE1000 and Susvara Unveiled both show similarly small difference in the part of the headphone response dominated by pressure effects <3 kHz (~1dB max).

As Andrew said, we don't have OE/IEM targets.

Considering how well SoundGuys has been testing, it seems a nice coincidence that using JM-1 (DF) as our IEM compensation baseline (not a target) makes SoundGuys damn near identical to the well-preferred Harman AE/OE 2018 target under 8 kHz, no? :)
