Using parametric EQ I found these have significant headroom for critical listening. Boosting sub 100 Hz and above 500 kHz I found these headphones responded well. They seem veiled before EQ ing. By that I mean the difference was like having the music in another room. Once EQed they really open...
Thanks for the review I saw the comparison chart vs the HD650s. Can you suggest optimal 5 EQ settings to improve tonality generally for music? The bass seems pretty good but maybe can add a bit below 30hz, boost around 8Khz for more detail?
I found they seem to place things pretty well so yeah might be good for gaming. Definitely better than some for soundstage. For footsteps and stuff you might want to boost the highs a bit.
