1000+ Head-Fier
Thanks, good to know. I'm going to try some different pads, per the review from @heliosphann and a phone call I had with Zach M. yesterday. There are enough really good qualities in the VO that make me want to give it a try.None of these will go away with burn in. The dip in midrange is a polarizing trait and one that you may never get used to. It's the main reason why I personally find this very difficult to recommend without trying as it is a type of sound that is highly subjected to personal preference. Personally I find this coloration makes it a very relaxing and strangely seductive headphone to listen.
You know, now that I think of it, these headphones remind me of a really high maintenance girlfriend I had in college. A lot of work on my end to make things work out.
Also, I'm researching how a bit of EQ here and there could be helpful. I have an RME ADI-2 DAC and if I can find some recommendations on what frequencies to touch-up, I'll be very interested.
