With some more tweaking, I've discovered that significant "StereoX Gain" increase in the hidden Tone settings in PowerAMP (Android app) really helps with the feeling of presence for classical music, in addition to increasing upper mids and high frequencies slightly with the equalizer. Really beautiful sound for me now. A moderate increase in Stereo X Gain is also good for other music as well, as it subtly creates a feeling of being more present inside the sound, rather than the sound being inside the headphone space.
Only issue I now have with the headphones is the headband. It seems to have pretty high clamping pressure on my particular unit. I've been trying to stretch it out by leaving the headphones overnight stretched over large diameter objects, and it has helped a little, but not enough. Anyone have tips on decreasing the curvature of the headband? It's super flexible and has memory to return to whatever state it remembers, so changing the shape is challenging. I wonder if this is the reason XL pads are recommended, but I feel like the underlying problem is the headband clamping force.
