Shockz OpenRun Pro driver specs? EQ settings? (infosec.pub)

I can't find any specs for OpenRun Pro drivers, regarding frequency response. I have them hooked to my PC atm and played around with EQ for a few hours. They sound better to my ears with a boost around 180Hz. And I dropped 23Hz entirely as it seems to just cause distortion. They seem tinny with a flat EQ curve. I bought these for cycling and I'm happy with them, but the EQ is an issue, certainly. Anyone have an EQ preset they use? I'm using PulseEffects.

@heavyboots@lemmy.ml and OP: I use Cat-Ears to knock down wind noise on my rides: https://www.cat-ears.com/ They look stupid and IDGAF. I can much better hear the environment AND use my Shockz while riding. The Cat-Ears greatly reduce wind noise to the point where my Shockz remain audible to about 28 MPH. YMMV, of course. Seriously: Cat-Ears are the only reason I wear a helmet.

I only use my Shockz for podcasts and audiobooks, so I got nothing to offer on EQ.
