Wish list: Headphone crossfeed

[Vintage]

Headphone crossfeed with custom and selectable setups similar to the included eq.

 

[Wes Inskeep]

I agree.

And a 10 band PEQ

Crossfeed for Headphones is a must! Would be great.

 

[UbdU]

Yes, this would be good.

I use a head-amp (feniks audio - euforia) with an crossfeedmode but honestly, it is never turned on.

 

[TimTim]

I‘d love this.

My opinion/experience: As is so often the case, it depends. On the one hand, it depends on your own ears. Perhaps also on how they are feeling on the day. But then, in my opinion, it also depends on the headphones. I have a “small”, inexpensive pair of headphones from Beyerdynamic, which are also often used in the studio. They definitely at home benefit from crossfeed. And then I have a pair of Ultrasone headphones. They don't need crossfeed at all.

Using WiiM Mini via Toslink into an external DAC + headphone amp.
With wide-stage headphones, stereo can sound unnaturally hard-panned.
Since PEQ already exists, optional headphone crossfeed would be a valuable DSP addition for more natural listening — without changing tonal balance.
