$1K headphones with MP3s will make a much bigger difference than $50 headphones and $950 of 24-bit FLACs.

I listen to a lot of electronic music too, trance, future bass, melodic dubstep, electronic rock, some hardcore/hard-dance, etc. And I enjoy them on kilobuck headphones, and I've never found the genre to ever limit my enjoyment of those songs on fancy headphones.

I got mine like 10 minutes after the email sale alert I had setup was received well before the reddit post. This was 5am Sunday pacific standard time and they still just cancelled so I'm not sure how anyone that ordered on the 19th got one.

Not sure if I'm gonna upgrade to the sr60x or the he400's. The he400's need alot of juice I heard and all I have is a cx1993 dongle. My current grados sing with that dongle, so I'll probably just stay with the grado sound.

I love them! For being a flathead they have some impressive dynamics, sound stage, and bass. Comes with a ton of accessories and the build of the buds are top notch. I use them with a ifi GO Blu but you can run them off anything easily. I just have the portable so why not use it.

You can't use Wavelet, you have to use AirReps156X. Download and open the app, select the Free Pro 2 and connect, then go to "equalizer". Enter the values, then tap "save data". Out of the box, the Free Pro 2 doesn't use its "base" frequency response, it uses an EQ that Earfun applied (I assume via the same app), which basically turns the Free Pro 2 into a generic chifi TWS U-shape signature. What Oluv's method essentially does is delete Earfun's EQ, and apply his own EQ to the Free Pro 2's "base" FR (which is absolutely terrible btw). You can change the EQ after you apply it, but I'm pretty sure you can't revert to Earfun's original EQ; it's deleted permanently. The app is also a pain to use, it feels like a half-finished product. Honestly I'd hesitate to recommend it just because of how convoluted the process can be.
