With no EQ, it makes a very very very lush tuning and acoustic guitars, my my it's a pleasure to listen to. I wouldn't say dark, as the earpads seem to give a little boost up top especially with extension. But warmer, maybe. But I use the DX with EQ and it's a completely different beast with EQ. The low end is full, close to LCD levels but with faster transients. It's very punchy and quick. Lower mids, some of the best lower mids I've heard. Upper mids and treble are smooth with a analytical aproach yet full and never thin. The combo of the earpads, and eq with the DX make it into one of the best Audeze headphones I've heard. I'd happily take it over the new LCD-X 2021 any day. Its that good. But yes it leans to warmer sounding, but not dark without eq. It doesnt mute the treble, it enhances it a touch but the low end does become beastly. And very impressive at thatYes exactly. I listened to them again today and it's like the whole lower range just came alive. Not that they are suddenly becoming bass monster (I think they actually have a bit of bass roll off) but the whole tonality has switched from being slightly mid-centric with the stock pads, to being relatively more focused on bass and lower mid-range. And yet I can still hear the clear top end. It's the kind of trick a Stax SR-007 can pull out. It's really a great tuning. Doesn't it make the DX a bit too dark for you though?
