Sounds like you're saying the timbre is not too your liking, and EQ won't fix that.
Do you like any other planars? I do not like my oppo pm-3s.... To me the timbre is all wrong, I'm wondering if it's just planars in general for some of us, I guess I'll see when these arrive.
The word I'd use to describe the pm-3s is "lifeless". They're cold, clinical, precise, but there is just a sort of hollowness to the sound and lack of Dynamics that makes them boring and unnatural sounding, like all the emotion is being sucked out of the music.
I've never heard the PM3, but have heard it described as "lifeless" fairly often. So it's not just you. BUT it's also not all planars. My HE-500 is still my favorite headphone and I tend to prefer planars overall.
