The build is decent, probably a soild 7/10, I don't feel like going full whistling diesel on them but they don't feel like they'll crumble like particle board. But if I drop them on a hard floor from about 5ft its mostly likely gonna be game over.

Anyways.. When it comes to EQ'ing how do you go about that?

​

P.S I also forgot to mention when I first got them. They arrived before the amp so I plugged them into my pc and listen to a few songs. And for a split second I got this crazy imaging/sound stage phenomena of the symbols of a drum moving away from me in every time they were struck. I thought that this was surely a sign of things to come but I have yet to hear it again. Quite vexxing.

I use equalizer apo and peace gui on windows (its free)

For me its easy, since I like Harman as is, I just look up oratory1990s preset and go with that.

If you don't even know what you are looking for I'd suggest starting with his preset (if available) and the just start playing with bass and treble adjustments

If there is no preset available, you gotta fiddle about with it by ear.

You cna reas up on thing in this FAQ:

How do I EQ it to sound like a HD600?

It won't sound exactly the same because of HRTF differences brought about by the cup style, the clamp levels, the driver type used (Planar Vs Dynamic) but it will have the similarities of an HD600 after...

But why though?

I'd send the preset to your DMs soon
