Frequency response notes
Stock response has elevated bass and a broad treble rise. Midrange dips below the reviewer target.8Measurementsoundguys.com/marshall-major-v-review-116141Read 23 October 2026Objective measurements against SoundGuys preference curve, stock tuning. Firmware 6.4.5. Numeric bass/treble average is not calculated from chart.
Boost between 1.2 kHz and 5 kHz. The rest of the response is fairly balanced.5Reviewheadphonesaddict.com/sony-mdr-zx110-reviewRead 15 October 2026Reviewer text under the frequency response graph: apart from the boost between 1.2 kHz and 5 kHz, the response is fairly balanced. The review page does not restate the rig. The site How We Test page says graphs come from a MiniDSP H.E.A.R.S. rig with REW software, five averaged measurements, 1/12 smoothing and a flat reference line. The review was last updated in January 2022 and no numeric values are published.
