Well, using the oratory EQ as a bassline, what would you like to change exactly?

More bass? More treble? Less of both or either?

DONT TOUCH THE MIDS IT WILL SOUND TINY OR MUDDY OTHERWISE :)

If you have identified the "problem" area, just dial in a shelf and boost or decrease it all at once. Easiest and dirtiest way to adjust for treble and bass preference.

I guess my issue with the oratory EQ is that it makes the headphone sound rather... standard? There's nothing wrong with it, but I've heard the sound signature so many times before that it's become kind of "boring". It absolutely did bring out the mids more, but the headphones lost a lot of their "uniqueness".

I want to preserve the original sound signature as much as I can while bringing the mids forward just a tad. Can that be accomplished by dialing down the bass/treble?

Sorry if I sound pretentious/demanding, I'm mostly just ignorant.

The DT 770 Pro is what one would call V-shaped. This means they have a bass and treble boost. Id recommend playing with a bass shelf, starting at around 100Hz and then just increasing the boost to your preference. You can also set the shelf at lower or higher frequencies, all depending on what you like, but don't go to high and ruin the mids.

Same thing for the treble, just set a shelf starting at 5000Hz or so and adjust boost as well as exact position according to what sounds best to you.

What you are basically trying to do, is to get a V-shape, with "correct" mids.

Also, remember to adjust preamp as to "counteract" your highest boost. So, if the highest boost setting is +12dB set preamp to -12. If the highest boost is +29dB set preamp to -29dB. You get the point. This is to prevent clipping!
