Don't know how it was measured but every rebrand of these headphones I can find on taobao regardless of pads uses the same picture of the frequency response graph.Product on that page is using pleather pads.

If I did not know better I'd think that is a planar headphone measurement. Very linear from mids to well extended subbass with a weird suckout after 1khz.

I agree. That’s a planar graph if I’ve ever seen one.
At least 10 cm or 4 1/4 in or moreCan someone please measure the distance between the earcup yokes?
In other words, what width yokes would be required to fit the Blon cups properly.
Thanks!!
Note: The following is just an example of a different headphone. But I’m looking for the same measurement, only of the Blon headband yokes.

Guess who finally received their replacement! I also definitely received the apparent second revision that was made after initial complaints. I actually got a cable with it this time too! Pretty darn nice cable that comes with these. My pads are removable unlike the first pair I received, and it seems as though the headband is smaller. In which case sure would explain a LOT of things lol. Example, on the first version I only had to move the headband 4 steps on each side to fit, on this one I have to move each side up 8 steps. very odd. Thankfully the all metal headband is incredibly durable and can be bent so these headphones can actually clamp and have a good angle instead of just dangling off the top of my ears.
The pads on this, while thankfully removable, are SIGNIFICANTLY better velour material than the pads on the first revision. I could actually wear the headphones like this. These headphones beg for pad-swapping though, so I won't be doing that.
Surprisingly easy to power, but that's probably the 110db sensitivity. My amp is at the same volume level it is for my KPH30i's, if that means anything.
VERY initial sound impression; talking 15 minutes and a quick spotify session immediately after opening the package and messing with the fit.
Bass is very good, Mids are odd. Weird upper midrange scoop out? Treble is also kinda odd. These have decent clarity, but there is a haziness somewhere that makes it not very airy, and then the sibilance region is SO close to being over-done. It's not bad, but I've seen someone call these "hollow" sounding, which certainly can be the case on a good amount of tracks so far. Not too bad tho.
Soundstage seems pretty massive, but it's a bit 3 Blob-y like the Sennheiser HD6XX series of headphones. Because of this, imaging seems just alright to me. Maybe different pads can alleviate some of the issues, we'll see! These aren't BAD sounding by any means. They're dynamic, relatively well detailed, and soundstage pretty alright. the FR just needs some love.

My ears hear the same thing on mine. Playing a frequency sweep at low but easily audible volume, the sound cuts out then comes back later somewhere around 2.5 - 5 kHz [going by memory, so expect an update later]. It also peaks hard around 10 kHz before going steady to the end of my hearing around 15 kHz.

EQ is definitely needed to make these good for all-round listening. My first pass at manual tweaking made a significant improvement, but I'm hoping for some good measurements of the actual shipped product with clearly identified correction(s) and curve(s). Of course even then we have the same problem as with all frequently modified headphones, but that will give us the basis from which to evaluate the sound impact of our mods.

Linsoul had $98 sale so I opted for $15shipping speed. Ordered Sunday, here today.

Just took my own mehsurements and they indeed look similar to this. ^oo^ Haven't tried personally yet.
Edit: Ugh. Tried to put these on and they don't fit well as described by others. Currently trying to bend the headband.
Edit2: Bending headband with hands works out enough. Large but shallow pads dont contour face well so obtaining seal might be issue for some. Angled pads would be nice. Any recommendations?
Found a frequency reponse graph for these on taobao

Was about to tear down headphones for science, but those drivers look fragile as paper.

Just placed an order on the ZMF Universal pads, the Perforated Suede ones. The idea is to try and lift the treble that is hiding from my ears lol. Feels kinda odd to pay $70 on pads for a $110 pair of headphones, but I've got a good feeling that the results will be worth it. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

What’s the story with these cans?? How do they sound on tubes or when plugged into a balanced amp
