Where did you see -15db? I thought the freq response was fairly flat

You do not want a straight line in raw frequency measurements in this specific range (1.5kHz to 6kHz)

That's the Pinna gain region and that place needs to always look like a mountain... If that area is flat in a raw uncompensated graph, that's a wonky frequency response

The 2021 version isn't quite as bad as that, it's still recessed in the upper mids and needs EQ but it's not as bad as the previous version.

Yup... That indeed is the case... Audeze revisions their stuff from time to time. Reason why it was a shocker that the Audeze MM-500 had Pinna Gain out the box. Lol
