Have the reviewers been selected? It seems the post above is the start no?

Nope.  I'm fortunate to have a separate set that's about to fly with me to South America.  Don't worry, I won't be posting any impressions in Spanish (I don't want you all laughing at my lousy Spanish grammar).

Looking forward to more impressions Deviltooth

The t402v has magnetically attached ear pads.  It's very quick and easy to rotate them to change the bass settings.  There are four (four sided square pads) and these headphones can pump out some serious low end; bass heads who demand definition are in luck.
 
At the moment I'm grooving to Showtek, the vocal are soaring, the synths are pulsing and the beats are firm and throbbing.  It's a 'consumer sound' but not at all sloppy like you'd get from some of the more popular headphone companies (SOL, Beats).  EDM listeners are going to be very pleased.

Hey TorqueAudio, if neither grizzlybeast nor I get to review t402v - maybe we could grab a listen on one of your trips to Portland

I thought you were in Salem @Vividcard, but of course if @TorqueAudio lets us buy him a beer or coffee or whatever in exchange for a chat and some ear time with gear you're invited!

40 minute drive to come chat with a manufacturer/ other audiophiles... Count me in!

Soundstage?

Using the on-ear pads with music so far I'd call it spacious but not exemplary.  With the over ear pads soundstage expands noticeably.
 
Please take this with a grain of salt.  This week I'm to listen to some live concert recordings and surround sound movies using the t402v.  After that I should be able to give you a more exact idea as to how the soundstage stacks up.

I like how Torque threw up FR curves for the different tunings. Do you find the bass really flattens out with the lowest setting Deviltooth? And which setting(s) do you find yourself using the most?

At the RMAF show, I was surprised at how many people liked the yellow... There's a bunch of closet bass-heads out there.
 
I tend to favor RED in most cases.

Some music just demands all the Bass lol
