It sounds a bit veiled to me. It's just not what I'm used to. Anything I can do about it? I can't even seem to EQ it to how I like it.
For reference, I'm used to a DT990 sound sig.
Edit: managed to apply enough of a treble bump to start enjoying it. I'm also probably getting more used to the sound sig. Personally the iEMatch makes enough of a difference to me to prefer listening to it with one, it cleans up the bass coming out of my OnePlus 5 on the ultra setting.
All the default tips hurt my ear so I picked up some medium spiral dots which have been really comfy. I would want to try comply on this one day but I only have 200 and it's a struggle putting anything on with the large diameter.
The only thing I might complain about is the looks, it's pretty ugly but it's nice that it isn't crazy flashy. Maybe if the female connector port was more uniform to the housing and maybe even a faceplate with "MD+" using the Massdrop font would be cool.

Erak606This is probably not the IEM for you if you like the DT990's piercing highs. Flip it and buy another IEM. Try the Pinnacle P1, FiiO F9/F9 Pro, VSonic GR07X, Tin Audio T2 (budget option). Maybe even Sony MDR-7550 or EX1000 but those aren't very easy to use because of the size and the cable. I own an Acoustune HS1551 CU and their HS1501 AL model is treble-focused so consider that too (http://www.accessoryjack.com/acoustune-hs1501al-myrinx-driver-in-ear-monitor-headphones-blue-alumium.html). SoundMagic E80 is also a great choice.

desutructionYeah that was my plan. I already have the Pinnacle PX but I was looking for something with a bit more clarity.
I also had the T2 coming in the mail as my burner pair. How's the bass on the others? I also enjoy the SE215's bass except it's quite muddy.

Erak606I hate muddy bass so the ones I've mentioned definitely have great bass quality with varying quantities. GR07X is mostly neutral but with a slight v-shaped tendency and has great extension on both ends, especially sub-bass (I like sub-bass). F9 Pro is also pretty similar to the GR07X but with more treble and less extension on the bass end. I don't remember the Sonys that much but the EX1000 is brighter than 7550 and both have great bass especially with some mods and EQ. SoundMagic E80 also has great bass quality and extension (but not as good in quality as the GR07x) with slightly better presentation of mids, still pretty neutral tho.

Erak606These are also good options and vary in price: Audio Technica: CKR9, IM02, CK100Pro DUNU: Titan 1; DN-2000J Fidue: A83 Fischer Audio: DBA-02 mkII Sound and Magic: E80S I can say from experience that the Fiio F9 is not the signature you are probably looking for. The Nuforce HEM1/4 could also be good choices are they are the brighter Nuforce offerings. The Shure 535 is probably my brightest IEM and you have the capability of rolling Knowles filters if you choose. Etymotic ER4P would also fit the bill and if you're looking to spend more the Sennheiser IE800 would be close.

jaydunndidditI've had the CKR9 and extensively tried IM02, I don't think they'd satisfy his treble craving. (I also suggested SoundMagic E80, maybe think he'd like those).
