The stock EQ for the Pandas is with SoundID off (IE without using the SoundID app). To get the stock "flat" EQ on iOS, the headphones are actually EQ'd to that state. This is similar to what Audeze did with their EL8, iSine, and Sine series of headphones with their Cipher Lighting cables. Without the EQ, the tonality seems a bit off. The Panda is kind of the same way. It's a darker headphone without any sort of EQ applied. However, with the SoundID EQing it flat, you get a bit more clarity and more neutral tonality out of it.So am I as far as factory sound is concerned. My 1A and 1Z players are amazing when they are in LDAC mode. The Pandas are great with their stock EQ on the iOS.
The only issue I have with the Panda right now is that they're skipping quite often after their update and applying any sort of EQ over BT and it gets quite annoying.
