So finally got back home to my desktop setup. After 2 days of adapting my ear to the sound of the headphones, I still find them a bit hot in treble, that I don't use them for metal. The peak is at maybe at 9-10kHz? (I saw it from measurement posted somewhere in this thread, but not sure about the number, just guessed here)
Imaging is good, maybe because of a dip in certain frequency band to create the so called room effect (I find some instrument's presence much less than with other headphones say HD600 DT880 K7XX). Overall I'm very impressed with width and depth.
edited: bass feels a bit different than what I'm used to
But anyway I wonder if the benefits of EQing (with software) down the treble will outweigh its drawbacks i.e. signal degradation or phase problems etc.
I tried to EQ 10kHz band to -2dB and I think I like that sound better, i.e. they don't bite anymore. But since I'm not golden ear either or possess the knowledge about this so I'm really not. sure what to do right now
Should Ispend money on new pads, or use built-in EQ in my music player app (Decibel for OSX)
