Interestingly enough, my pair would measure closer to audio's/Brooko' measurements, but Seesax's won't.
If someone can give me a walkthrough on the proper basics of using the Veritas (the quick start helps but I have so many questions), it can help me get a graph of mine. My free time is very limited so I apologize for not learning sooner.
The midrange being sucked out was the sound I heard before fixing mine. If vocals are hard to hear and muffled, this indicates a driver isn't working or something isn't right. I actually sent back my first pair because of this thinking it was defective (it was if it sounds like that). The second pair exhibited the same behavior until I physically caused an imbalance by playing with the housing one side at a time. The hollow muffled mids became clear.
Brooko, does audio's pair have clear vocals? If not, being defective is highly likely. If they are clear, it's less likely the case.
The one recording where things sound bloated bass into mids on mine is a 192k mp3 album of Megadriver-Metalhog (video game metal of Sega music). This bloat does not exist on the Shockwave 3. This isn't a very good quality recording, so I thought it was more the album's fault at the time. The bass actually adds a nice touch to everything else.
TwinACstacks heard my pair and didn't much like it either, it came back to me the same way it was sent.
Which then leaves Seesax's pair, which sounds a little different than mine. We debated if mine is off or if his is. We still don't really know.
So yes, right now until there is more consistency, a wait and see approach is best if you want to avoid some risk.
