I recently bought a pair of HiFiman HE-5LE headphones, but even after 300 hours of burn-in/use, I'm still experiencing issues with quite spiky treble and ssssssibilance. A small tweak downwards of the EQ settings at 4k and 8k (in MediaMonkey) seems to sort things out but having read in various reviews how smooth the HE-5LEs are 'supposed to sound' I'm surprised to be having this issue. Is this a normal sound signature for HE-5LEs or should I be concerned they are faulty in some way? Any views/suggestions would be appreciated!
The rest of my setup:
Source: FLAC files on my PC -> HRT MS2+ DAC -> HiFiman EF-5 amp -> HE-5LE
