I feel like removing the filters is a bad idea.. do you not worry about dust/wax/misc junk getting into the drivers and ruining the sound?

I was interested in trying them, but I had a bad experience with their customer service over an accessory. Figured if support for an accesory was that bad, I didn't want to find out how'd they treat their thousand+ dollar headphones. So, I no longer care to give them any of my business.

That's just Reddit for you. Hive mind weirdness. The really odd thing is you can never predict how it will go. Sometimes you'll get wildly upvoted, sometimes downvoted. If this same topic came up a month from now, and I wrote the same response, it could be totally different.

I'd love to do that but if you've got a handful of wired headphones switching between profiles becomes a chore.

I almost feel like buying q5k for each headphone.

I'm also experimenting with creating middle of the road EQ profiles that address multiple headphones that have similar characteristics at once so I do less EQ switching

In the case of IE40 pro the tips have tuning filters/foam inside of them that act as dampeners. Anything except those ruin the sound doesn't matter the bore size.

The fallacy is that EQ will improve the sound. Like in "better than the mastering engineer with the artist decided it should sound".

And no, the sound engineers don't master on unobtanium headphones or monitors. They use off-the-shelf devices.
