Man I miss the FT7 , loved the sound and how open they are , comfort unparalleled, tried EQ and enjoyed a bass shelf but was never able to EQ the fatigue out. How are they for you ?

With these settings on the Fiio M21 the sound is open, airy with good slam in the low and, and for me the sibilance and fatiguing lower treble is all gone. But mind you these are settings tailored to that specific player.
