@IAtaman are you still using these?
I still just have the stock pads but decided to get them out again and try to improve my EQ.
I decided to try physical means of reducing the 7-8kHz peak. A sheet of toilet paper brought the peak down to a couple of dB above the HD6XX which is perfect for me as I usually give the HD6XX a small bump in this area with EQ anyway.
Then I've been trying a new filter around 4khz to fill in the dip. Slightly changed the other filter in the lower mids but doesn't make much difference.
The bass is really great. With EQ I think I prefer it to my HD6XX for some bass-heavy tracks. Shown the measurement in REW down to 10Hz just for fun!
Can also play around with a low shelf if you want to get crazy:
n.b. microphone is new so not comparable with previous measurements in the thread.
n.b. 2: Just realized the narrow dip between 4-5kHz seems to be very similar to the dip in the HD660S2.
n.b. 3: Noticed also another headphone Amir recently reviewed which resembles the K245.... the far more expensive ZMF Caldera
but with bass!
