I can't take any more hurt!Which phones don't we want to be tested? Audeze, Audeze, Audeze !!!!!!
I'll PM you as off topic enough in this thread.How do you EQ the K702 pls?
You know, mostly typical stuff:
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x/M50xBT, M70x, R70x, MSR7b
AKG K371/K371BT
Sennheiser HD560s
Sony WH-1000XM3/XM4

Ollo S4X
Avantone Pro Planar
That sounds super annoying, I can't imagine having to bend my ears into my headphones each time I put them on, I think you should keep looking.Exactly the two I asked for a week ago!
Since then, I have bought the Ollo S4X from a local dealer, since there is a 30-day guaranty. The sound is pretty good, well-extended and dynamic, with a certain emphasis on the Bass region (not bloated at all, luckily, but the Bass can overwhelm the treble in certain songs). I can hear the actual bass guitar strings on certain well-recorded songs from RUSH and REVEREND BIZARRE. There's a nice strong attack from the drums (really feel the air pressure), and the decay from the high notes feel natural. It is semi-open at best: there is little soundstage, no air, and blocking the back of the driver does not affect the sound at all.
It would easily have been a keeper, except for one factor: comfort. The pads are too small for me and I either have to use them on-ear, or have my ears bent in the pads. Neither is comfortable for me. I'm still wavering, but I am considering sending them back and ordering the Avantone.

It probably won't make a great seal if it's sitting on your ears when it's not designed to, so will effect the sound, particularly the bass. You're best off measuring your ears and then comparing that to information re inner pad size / inner cup size whatever it's called, that way you can order something that will fit you. For instance this website lists the sizes for some different headphones: https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/akg/k371/It's not painful, but it is irritating: my ears sometimes touch the material covering the driver. I am trying to wear them like slightly bigger Grados (resting on the upper part of my ear), but I am not optimist this will work on the long term.
Thanks for your impressions!
They are usually described as neutral/flat, but It seems that you find them warm, isn't it?
What about detail? Do you find them laid back or veiled?
Love to test this given its popularity. Anyone in US wants to loan me one? It is out of stuck on Amazon.Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro 250ohm
I think the sound is good with EQ and for his price very attractive with a good spatialisation
