Drop + Grell OAE1 Headphones

Well not all find these atrocious, far from it, but best to leave the graphs and any preconceived notions of what one is expecting these to sound like at home. These are not your HD600 series successor but Axel's unique tuning which I've personally quite got accustomed to and it may take a bit for those weaned solely on traditional direct into the ear drivers. Doesn't mean that one will like them, sort of like going from loose fitting jeans to skinnies, they're not for everyone. So the tuning IMHO is not at all atrocious just a different approach to projecting sound with headphones, works for me but then I do wear skinny jeans. : )

So from the comments here of owners of the first run we can safely assume the tuning on these is atrocious?. Well you can always eq certain aspects but how is the comfort. They look good besides one cup running? a dummy plug. I would assume that's from them just using mirror mold. It seems these aren't very good from the discussion I read here. Boy do I miss the days off Massdrop and how they would innovate and bring interesting new takes to hobbies. My current daily driver are the Harmonicdyne Zeus elite and I own Dan clark aeon and the fairly decent Hifiman h5xx and jubilee. I love trying budget yet great sounding cans.
