I have a self-modded MH750 (IEMs) I'm willing to send over! Mods were for a little bass reduction and treble extension.

2 concerns though:
- This community did not appreciate modded products in the past; this case is a bit different because there are already many measurements of the original stock non-modded version everywhere, and the mod is so easy that someone who cannot do soldering (yours truly) is able to perform it too (blutack stuffing and tip swap, the IEM itself is designed to be easily opened, and the exact parts for modding are easily accessible)
- I listen with S sized tips, M and L sized ones will sound different to varying degrees (will have to order tips in those sizes for Amir if he decides to test them)

It's not the size that changes the sound but the way you are able to insert the IEM in the ear with a different size tip. (good seal vs bad seal, deeper vs less deep). So this is a very personal thing. No 2 persons will be able to fit an IEM in 100% the exact same way.
What matters is the tip size used during measurements. The insertion depth influences the measurements and with the right tip-size it is possible to create consistent insertion depth into the fixture. This creates consistency between measurements on different model IEMs.

Bore length changes with tip size though, even if all other factors somehow remain the same

I think that depends on the brand of the tips. I don't think length changes with size for all brands.

See the Aeon RT closed. Pretty much the same thing acoustically.

That's what you assume. Let's have Amir measure one to confirm it.

There’s a whole thread detailing the Aeon X vs the Aeon RT

With measurements?
I'll do a search.

Oppo PM3 Review (Closed Back Headphone)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Oppo PM3 closed back planar magnetic headphone. It is on kind loan from a member. The PM3 is discontinued but seems to have quite a following and hence the reason I wanted to test it. Originally it cost US $399 but I see used prices from $500...

No, they sent me the new LCD-XC.

Any eta on your review for the LCD-XC? Just received my pair and am looking forward to your Roon EQ settings for the XC 2021.

Quick. Someone send Amir an HD 400 Pro, so we can see if it's just a repackaged HD560S or not.
