Definitely that would be bass overkill on mine here with the Brainwavz pads and I'd still Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-81363194697755893032021-06-07T13:45:52.502-07:002021-06-07T13:45:52.502-07:00Super interesting review...

I'm using the 10-band EQ settings from the oratory1990 database for my 4XX headphones and it seems to have really dialed in the sound nicely. <br /><br />https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/9o2f5n/psa_oratory1990s_list_of_eq_presets/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_bodyHal Espenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814217088173209717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-91954784080133746852021-06-06T07:57:04.043-07:002021-06-06T07:57:04.043-07:00I'll wear them for a couple of days and let yo...I'll wear them for a couple of days and let you know what I hear.

Is your stock unit and presumably pads sounding more neutral?<br /><br />I've seen measurements suggesting both upper-mid darkness as well as others showing relatively more neutral headphones.Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-53312518371235678922021-06-05T18:52:07.782-07:002021-06-05T18:52:07.782-07:00Thanks trog,

( None of my headphones cost more than $200 ) I like the HE4xx's, but out of all my Drop 'phones, I like the Meze Noirs ( rebadged 99 Classics )for all around comfort and all-around sound.
