I was encouraged to get these earbuds and tune them based on Oluv's tunings from his Patreon. I found the posts with the files and downloaded them a while back, before my sub ran out, but I can't figure out what to do with them. Some people say "use Wavelet" but I don't know how. Can anyone provide a step-by-step process of what I need to do to get these earbuds in tune with Oluv's settings?
The only advice I've found on this feels very incomplete for people who aren't already enthusiasts. I feel like I'm being gated as a newbie who just wanted good earbuds.

You can't use Wavelet, you have to use AirReps156X. Download and open the app, select the Free Pro 2 and connect, then go to "equalizer". Enter the values, then tap "save data". Out of the box, the Free Pro 2 doesn't use its "base" frequency response, it uses an EQ that Earfun applied (I assume via the same app), which basically turns the Free Pro 2 into a generic chifi TWS U-shape signature. What Oluv's method essentially does is delete Earfun's EQ, and apply his own EQ to the Free Pro 2's "base" FR (which is absolutely terrible btw). You can change the EQ after you apply it, but I'm pretty sure you can't revert to Earfun's original EQ; it's deleted permanently. The app is also a pain to use, it feels like a half-finished product. Honestly I'd hesitate to recommend it just because of how convoluted the process can be.
