I agree with everything you say, except for the EQ and pads. Everyone replaces the pads on the T50 and T60 for a reason.IME the T60RP is a very nice sounding headphone stock, that responds quite well to equalization. When I think about the prices of
some custom made wooden headphones that can run into thousands of dollars, the T60RP should be considered an incredible value.
I also agree that using the stock pads is a good idea if you are going to use EQ on the T60RP. It can be part of an end game system.
I also own a pair of T50RP MK3's that I like very much, but the T60RP sounds more refined and is clearly better constructed. IMO,
the T60RP is easily worth the difference in price over the T50RP MK3.
If your headphones don’t sound good at a flat eq or off, then they are bad headphones or bad ear pads. The Fostex are built for modding in mind. Although I think all you need is good baffles and ear pads to make them sound way better than stock.
