I found this review to be very accurate.

The MG Pro shows the same 1.5kHz bump as the Clear. I thought this was gone as everyone is saying the MG Pro is more linear. Doesn‘t look like that. Would love to see a comparison measurement of the Clear and the MG Pro.

Has anyone used the Dekoni Nuggets to preserve the headband or is the Amazon headband wrap still the best option?
I'm concerened about the Nuggets because of the adhesive that you'll be sticking on the alcantari. Not sure if it'll damage the headband when you remove the nuggets or that spot end up becoming "whiter" while the other parts still slowly collect grime (even though it won't make contact with your head) and fade from the sunlight etc.

I think you've already answered your question 
, pretty accurately as a matter of fact.

I use a Geekria wrap I bought on Amazon and it made them a lot more comfortable on the top. The marketing for the mg pro says the band is supposed to be contoured better, however there was a major hot spot for me top center. I have a big head too so you’d think it would contour perfectly, maybe it takes time for them to conform. The geekria wrap (it’s a wool/soft knitted black cover) looks ridiculous (like an 80s scrunchy on top of your head), but who cares. Bonus also is protection on the band from oils etc which I read Clears were notorious for discolouration.

Ah bummer. I guess the only way to partially protect it is the headphone cloth cover?I think you've already answered your question
Saran Wrap?

Never used dekoni nuggets but that alcantara is too sensitive, they should have ditched the material not just change the color.
Beyer had some wrap-around headbands for cheap but don't know if they are wide enough.

What about that "swimming pool" from 4k to 6k, is that some kind of measurement error or is it the upgraded Elear , did I miss something ? The reviewer talks about lower part linearity and then he just ignores the dip and talks about HD spike?

I’m guessing it’s a mini dsp artifact.

Nothing accurate about a crappy inaccurate rig
Whether't be the rock em' sock em' slam of an electrified synth blast or the crisp, earthy and serene slice of a violin stroke, yay, it shall delivery t'thee. 't't't't
Aye, and the soundstage scales to how it's mixed.

Haha. I was referring to his impressions. Yeah, the mini dsp is far from industry standard.
