September 2022 update: Over 270 new headphones models have now been added to the list. For all models, unless otherwise noted, Nx plugins utilize the Harman Headphone Target Curve method for EQ correction (watch this video for info about this method). For several models (noted below), Nx plugins utilize both the Harman Target Curve method and the non-Harman method utilized in Nx plugins prior to September 2022, allowing you to choose between the two. For three models (noted below), Nx plugins utilize only the non-Harman method.
Your headphones are not in the list? No worries – the Nx plugins recreate the spatial acoustic response of speakers in a room over any headphones. EQ correction is not necessary to benefit from these plugins' spatial effects, it just enhances it. In any case, you are welcome to Let us know which headphones you would like us to add.
Please note: Non-Harman correction curves are available in the Legacy menu in the Headphone EQ list in the Nx plugins.
