The headphone/speaker equalizer preset thread

Hi, I'm new to the forum, been using foobar for several months  Anyways I decided to make this thread so those with specific headphones or speakers can get an equalizer preset that properly flatly equalizes their headphone/speakers.  A while ago someone gave me his equalization for Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro's ( which I have ) http://destroyer159753.tripod.com/dt770graph3.feq ( -6 -7 -9 -6 -4 -5 -6 -6 -6 -5 -4 -3 -4 -5 -6 -6 -10 -15 )

If you want to submit your equalization, please, of course, state the exact name of the headphones and/or speakers, the link or the 18 band number settings like above, try to submit the most accurate settings but somewhat accurate settings are ok too, better than nothing.  Hopefully this will become a giant, organized stickied thread that helps everyone in their highly sought after flat response goal.  Thanks

I'm using your average €19 headphones, that is, a Technics RP-F290 set. My EQ settings are as follows:
3 5 3 -1 -3 -5 -5 -3 -2 1 1 1 0 2 1 3 5 3.

My DSP chain:

1)convolver (mid bass.wav , level adjust +0.0 db, mix adjust 100%, auto level adjust)
2)Equalizer
3)Stereo Expander (73.8%)
4)Noise sharpening (120%)
5)Advanced Limiter

So basically that's it.

Cool, thanks for adding the first submission.  I have these 20 year old cheap floorstanding Technics sb-2440, so old its impossible to find any response graph on them heh.

I use Sennheiser HD 457's. I don't vary much for equalizer settings.  These headphones are pretty bass-y. I use:

-6 -4 -2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

My dsp chain is as follows:

Volume Control
Equalizer
Gap Killer
Skip Silence

I don't really understand the effects of a lot of those DSP's. Should I use more?
