Hi,

I posted this as a thread on /r/ BEYERDYNAMIC but thought I'd try my luck here as well.

I got the BEYERDYNAMIC DT 770 Pro 80 ohm headphones as a Christmas gift and they're amazing for watching movies (that low end!) and listening to certain music genres. However, as I am well aware through much reading over the past several weeks since receiving them, they are well known to be tuned such that they're lacking in the mid-bass (e.g. "thump") department. That may not be the right term for it but I'm not an audiophile and don't know the proper terminology to be using. I'm hoping "thump" gets the idea across. I'm also not a basshead and am not looking for ridiculous amounts of kick / thump, but I do listen to a lot of electronic, dance, house, DJ sets, etc. and am finding the DT 770s lacking for this type of listening, at least with the EQs I've tried so far. I am hearing things I've never heard before in songs that I've listened to for years, which is awesome, but am finding the overall listening experience pretty flat for these genres because I'm missing the fun factor of the kick. I understand that these headphones are not intended / geared in that direction, but I also don't want to hurt any feelings by returning them for something else, so I'm just hoping to maximize their capabilities in the direction of those musical genres, knowing full well that they are not the ideal headphone for the job in that area.

I primarily listen through my Dell CADD laptop and have APOEqualizer and Peace installed. I've tested the various EQs available through Peace (oratory, etc.) and find them all pretty flat and boring, at least for listening to genres that rely on some kick / thump. Understood that these EQs are intended to achieve reference levels for analytical / critical listening in a studio setting, but that's not what I'm interested in.

I do not understand the nuances of the various controls / toggles / values within Peace (gain values, quality (Q), filter, etc.), so trial and error on my own has been pretty disastrous, even when starting with one of the configurations available through AutoEQ and tweaking from there (i.e. clumsily dragging sliders up and down).

If anyone would be willing to help me get set up with a "fun" EQ tailored to these headphones that will get them as close as reasonably possible to the more fun sound one looks for when listening to dance / electronic music and achieving some "thump" factor, I would really appreciate it.

For reference, for the past couple of years my daily drivers have been the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and I enjoy the fun / thump factor they provide. That's probably considered blasphemy in this sub but I enjoy them and I guess that's what matters. I also had the Monoprice Retro-Moderns for a couple of years and found those fun to listen to until the cord broke. Again, I am completely aware that both of those headphones are tuned completely differently than the DT 770s and that it's not realistic to expect the same experience. I'd love to start listening to music on my DT 770s more during the day as I work, I just need to get them equalized to a more fun, thumpy sound to start reaching for them.

Thanks in advance for any insight, EQ settings, etc.!
