Guys I think we all agree that this 10k peak at its worse can be pretty irritating and antithetical to the reason we originally bought these headphones.
We know the pads leave a lot of room for reflection of high frequencies, that can vary based on closeness to ear, angle of the pad, and where the pad is resting. Not only that: the LCD headphones unlike an HD800, or HE560, or even Elear rely on a full seal. In his regard, the principles of IEM seal are maybe applicable
If some of you guys more annoyed by the 10k peak wouldn't mind: PM me how you perceive the sound to change based on how we wear our headphones in a variety of positions, being
1) high or low ( include how many notches of the headband you normally wear, and how many notches constitute high or low for you)
2) tight or loose - bringing the drivers closer to the ear and compressing the pads more (requires adjustment of headband and gimbals)
3) forward or back ( accentuating the angling of pads, or negating it)
I'd prefer PM'ing me so I can look at things without anyone's results, or lack of results, influencing anyone else. I have a rough idea of optimal right now, and would like to see if we arrive at similar conclusions
Why would we have to do this, despite owners of past versions never having to? Who knows. Maybe the waveguides make things pickier, or maybe they don't. However, I know I am not a fan of the 10k treble peak, and maybe there is something we can do to negate it, that doesn't involve buying $100 pads
