@Niyologist have you heard all the MEST versions? Would love a quick comparisonI would like to know more about your impression on MEXT> Specifically the midrange timbre - is it distinctly BA, or DD naturality is somewhat present?
You want to use eq in the music that the producer already equalized....
I listened to all 3 plus the indigo. My ranking was indigo, mest 2, mest, then Mext. Really wanted to like the mext more but it's just missing a little of everything. Still a great set and I would have purchased it without hesitation if the other sets weren't there to compare. The mest 2 to my ears had a larger sound stage, improved detail and a cleaner low end transition into the mids. Taking to the guys at the both Mext is the only one that doesn't use in house bone conductor. It's how they got the cost down but to my ears the quality of the low end took a small hit.@Niyologist have you heard all the MEST versions? Would love a quick comparison
This was my impression of the Mext, too--I couldn't listen to them after hearing the Mest and Indigo.I listened to all 3 plus the indigo. My ranking was indigo, mest 2, mest, then Mext.

if you like what you hear, all fine, enjoy your music. no need for Eq, broad statments or anything else. be happy! cheersI've done all that...I have JRiver music player and Roon, DSP etc. It doesn't matter. I like sound just as the designers intended, WITH the original fidelity of the sound signature. If a piece of equipment does not give that to me, and I need to 'EQ' it, it's not for me.
Ah but what if one is using EQ not to correct issues with the equipment but rather to correct for one's own hearing? As we age our ability to hear some frequencies often changes (aka decreases) and a bit of EQ can be very helpful in helping to correct these shortcomings. As stated earlier, EQ cannot turn lead into gold but it can help put the shine back on some tarnished gold.I've done all that...I have JRiver music player and Roon, DSP etc. It doesn't matter.

I often feel that EQ'ing headphones kind of 'neuters' them, meaning that EQ can correct the things that I don't like but also dulls the things that I like about a headphone.Never, ever use EQ. It destroys the overall sound fidelity.

Right, but the 'fidelity' drops; dynamics become congested and there is a slight lack of clarity. Why not skip the EQ, keep the best sound, and buy something suited to your hearing and taste? For my money that would be a more satisfying audiophile experience.Ah but what if one is using EQ not to correct issues with the equipment but rather to correct for one's own hearing?

I disagree with everything you wrote after the word “Right.”Right, but the 'fidelity' drops; dynamics become congested and there is a slight lack of clarity.
