Is it just me or do oratory1990's presets make it sound overly muffled and kill the feeling of surround? Am I using them wrong?

Was the Oratory1990 EQ preset specifically created for the 58X to make them sound like "monitors in a high end recording studio?" What FR curve was used as a baseline before the corrections were applied? I don't know much about EQ, but I believe since each headphone already has its own unique frequency response, simply applying the same EQ preset, will make each one sound different and not like "monitors in a high end recording studio." Unless of course, the EQ preset was created with a specific headphone's frequency response in mind, namely the 58X in this case.You turned down the pre-gain so it's not clipping? The EQ is based around a V shaped response, the Harmon Curve, which is based on what you would hear from monitors in a high end recording studio. Whether you like that or not is preference.
I would set a second EQ preset in EQ APO/ Peace that is the same overall volume as your tuned EQ, that way you can A/B them without having to adjust the volume.
On a side note, I had to turn pregain down to -7db to avoid clipping on some tracks, even tho the settings from oratory1990 say it should be -5.7db.
I found that setting a high shelf filter somewhere between 1khz and 3khz with a -1db to -2db pad helps with the shrillness and dropping the original low shelf filter from 6db to 4 or 5db is easier to listen to.
It's fun to play around with and see what sounds good. Even without a tuned EQ, I like to use a -3.5db pad on pregain to avoid clipping from loud tracks, and I like to use a highpass and lowpass (.8Q) on either end to remove any ultrasonic or subsonic noise.

Bought mine last week, they shipped yesterday, should be here MondayRandom question, who bought their headphones within the last month? I just checked, and they are not available right now.
What do you listen to?Hey guys I'm kind of new to this headphone world. These headphones really interest me. Would you guys say these are some of the best available at this price?
