Could you share some measurements? I'm still between 3-5dB under neutral between 1-4kHz. Have you done anything to attenuate the treble, because if not this could explain the 'cleaner' sound you're hearing: they're very elevated between 5 and 10kHz and I've found this is exacerbated by larger pads. The only way I've found to address this is to add damping material in front of the driver; the best thing I've found is 2 squares of very dense foam in opposite corners.

Totally! I did take measurements but take them with a huge grain of salt because they were done by sealing them on to a blue snowball. I haven't done anything for treble attenuation because I feel like mine didn't really need it. I don't really like frontal damping too much even on these because it makes timbre seem strange to me. They're not much brighter to my ear than my Elex. even with EQ the 'clarity' difference still remains, so I don't think it's anything to do with the FR. Right now, I'm still planning on other mods but I don't have the supplies. Once I get everything I'll be working on getting them flatter with measurements as everything so far has been done just by ear.
